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.

Just a few days after v0.7C the LFS Devs have quickly released another revision of their software. The latest update includes some updates for the list of events on the entry screen.
The list of events now shows a countdown to a live stream if it will start within an hour. The number of racers on an event’s host is now displayed, either during the event or when it is open for practice. A lock icon is shown if you will need a password to join.
The other changes are mainly fixes for a few issues that were found in the recently released version C, and some user interface improvements.
