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.

Nacon and RaceWard Studios today released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming ‘build it, race it’ RiMS Racing motorcycle simulator. In what is described as a hot lap (though there seems to be ooooodles of time lost over the lap), we see a lap of the world famous Suzuka Circuit on the 2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10-RR. After that, we see the upgrade process for the bike and the UI used for doing that.
The bike is one eight bikes that will feature alongside the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory, BMW M 1000 RR, Ducati Panigale V4 R, Honda CBR1000RR ABS, MV Agusta F4 RC, Suzuki GSX-R1000R and the Yamaha YZF-R1. The upgrades shown are just a few of over 500 fully-licensed parts you can fit to the bikes.
You can find out more about RiMS Racing at Nacon Connect (basically their own little E3 media day) on July 6, 2021 at 7pm CEST.
Note: It’s worth sticking around for the bike upgrading segment of the trailer after the Suzuka lap.
