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.
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.
As suggested in the recent investors meeting where Motorsport Games mentioned that the upcoming Le Mans game would use rFactor 2 components, rFactor 2’s developer has now asked for testers to help with what sounds like a wholly new multiplayer system (replacing the previously known and used competition system).

Join the Alpha Test – NEW Online Multiplayer
Hello Sim Racers,
As you may be aware, we have been working on an all-new “competition system” for some months now with a small, but passionate and dedicated development team – and we’re really looking forward to sharing it with all of you.
As part of our final checks before we bring this new system to a public release, we have been running a small “alpha test”. This has been a very small group of people who have been invaluable in allowing us to find bugs, user experience issues, and give other feedback that we have greatly appreciated in helping to improve the experience.
We are now looking for motivated and passionate volunteers to expand our small group of testers for this “alpha” phase of testing. The requirements are primarily confidentiality, along with a commitment to give detailed feedback and bug reporting. And in return you’ll get a limited addition badge gifted to your rFactor 2 account once our new system becomes publicly available.

Please note; we have a specific number of users that we’re looking to join our team throughout this private testing period, so submitting your details is NO guarantee of acceptance into the programme. Apologies in advance if you are not accepted! However, if you are successful in joining the programme, you should expect to hear from us within 2 weeks of receiving your request.
Public access is coming soon for this re-engineered online experience, and we look forward to sharing it with everyone in the coming weeks. We hope you’ll enjoy it!
Happy racing!
