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.

Press release:

Extreme Offroad Truck Simulator Heavy Duty Challenge Set for Release in late 2021

Precision, skill and nerves of steel – that’s what you need to be successful in Heavy Duty Challenge, the upcoming extreme off-road truck simulator by Nano Games and Aerosoft. The game is set for a release on Steam in late 2021.

The game is officially supported by the Europa Truck Trial. Jürgen Funke, Organizer, says “I am happy to support Nano Games and Aerosoft in the development of the game. Heavy Duty Challenge will be an action-packed and realistic virtual version of our off-road truck sport. Even in its early stage it is already fun to play – let’s go!”

In Heavy Duty Challenge, 10 powerful trucks in three categories can be used by aspiring off-road truck drivers to conquer extremely challenging courses. And work their way up to the top class of 4-axle trucks to win the title as champion of the truck trails in a real-time league system based on the Europa Truck Trial.

Public Playtest upcoming: If you can’t wait to try the game, you’ll have the chance to take a detailed look at the game in a public playtest on Steam this coming weekend. There will be three trucks (one Unimog and two MAN models) and one open world level with 8 sections. The playtest will begin on Thursday, June 3, 2021 and run up to and including Sunday, June 6, 2021. Players can participate in the playtest via Heavy Duty Challenge’s Steam page or Discord.
