As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.

Codemasters today released another update to F1 2021 that adds the Portimao track to the simulation more than a year after it was announced to be on the 2020 schedule and 10 months after it was announced it would return for 2021. For a company with the resources and access they have I am disappointed it took so long, but thanks, I guess? They also added the Aston Martin Safety Car that was announced to be used by F1 in March.
