Legendary British game developer whose career spanned a 20 year period and included groundbreaking simulations of Formula Three and Formula One, including arguably the first ever racing sim: Revs (1984).

This is, without doubt, one of the finest promotional videos a sim racing studio has ever produced. Even if you have never watched a NASCAR race you now know exactly what these cars were about, exactly what they were capable of, exactly why they’ve been chosen to join the iRacing service.
Absolutely stunning work. Bravo.
If you’ve been living under a rock, then note that North Wilkesboro and these two stock cars (Chevrolet Monte-Carlo and Ford Thunderbird) circa 1987 will be joining the service in June.
