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.
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.

Soft? Medium? or Hard? Now you can decide!
The strategy of grand prix racing comes to iRacing in 2020 Season 4, with the addition of variable tire compounds to the McLaren MP4-30. Featuring our most up-to-date tire parameters, you’ll have the opportunity to choose between soft, medium, and hard tires as you balance top speed and durability throughout an event. Just one thing: you’ll have to start the race with fresh tires from the same compound you qualified with, so choose wisely!
The McLaren MP4-30 will take over as the new car for the A Class iRacing Grand Prix Series for 2020 Season 4. Variable tire compounds are part of a significant engineering overhaul to the car in preparation for the new season.
