Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
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.

Changelog:
New Content – DTM 2023 car pack with the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, the BMW M4 GT3, the Ferrari 296 GT3, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 and the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992).
Tyre model – applied to all cars. All leaderboards are wiped clean in this update.
Note: Default car setups have been adapted to the new tyres for most car classes, however this work is still in progress and we will continue updating with small adjustments as we go along.
Note (2): A.I. has to learn to handle the new tyre and this learning process is still in progress for some car classes, it will be improved in future hotfix updates.
Car physics – Brake behaviour has been updated on most cars. As per driver feedback, this results in much more braking power for 100% brake input.
Track limits – The rule is now that cars should have at least one wheel on track at all times and anything beyond the white lines is not considered track.
Added a startup argument to not render the cockpit, used in professional simulators where the driver is sitting in the real car. To activate,use -hidecockpit
Depth of field – Fixed blurry cars on large track scenes due to imprecisions in focus point calculations when using large xyz coordinates values.
