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.
Announced today for Assetto Corsa Competizione, the Intercontinental GT series has been racing since 2016. Current tracks on the calendar include Bathurst, Laguna Seca, Spa, Suzuka, and Kyalami.
The Intercontinental GT Pack, a fully-dedicated Intercontinental GT Challenge DLC, will feature new tracks such as Suzuka, Mount Panorama, Laguna Seca and Kyalami, with the South African circuit reproduced for the first time ever in a racing simulation using laserscan technology.
While the developer is working hard on the 2019 Blancpain update due Fall 2019, this DLC should be expected later than that, with a release date, features, and media content to be made available later this year.
