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.

Next Level Racing today announced their GTLite foldable cockpit designed to support “entry-level Direct Drive wheelbases up to 13 Nm”. While I probably wouldn’t use a DD wheel or high-end pedals on a cockpit like this (and question whether they should be advertising it for DD wheels, honestly, because I’m sure it will flex a lot), I think it’s price ($299 USD, $499 AUD, £279GBP), design and overall look is a great option for entry level users of Force Feedback (non-Direct Drive) users who perhaps have a reason to be conscious of space.
