Williams Esports carries the distinction of being Wiliams Racing’s only form of motorsport outside of Formula 1. The team competes in the pinnacle of single-seaters and racing esports. That’s it.It shows just how intrinsically important virtual racing is to the Grove company, originally founded by Frank Williams in 1977.Now under Dorilton Capital stewardship, its esports squad is pushing the limits of what’s achievable in sim racing – both in terms of the sheer quantity of events participated, but also driver training, education and media assistance.It's these three aspects we wanted to dive deeper into. Yes, the team has found success across platforms such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione and even Rocket League, but it’s also investigating new ways of nurturing talent that pushes the whole environment forward.Joining us for this episode of the Traxion.GG Podcast are: Seb Hawkins - Team Manager, Williams Esports Steven English - Director of Esports, Williams Racing Ewan Lury - Esports Press Officer, Williams Esports Don’t forget you can email [email protected] if you have any questions about sim racing cockpits you’d like us to answer.If you’d like to hear more episodes like this one, please follow, like and subscribe on your podcast app of choice.

Joining us this week is the founder and CEO of Trak Racer, Matt Sten, the global – of Australian origin – sim racing and flight simulator accessory manufacturer. It has partnerships with the Alpine Formula 1 team and Airbus, and perhaps is best known for creating cockpits and wheel stands for those who want to take their virtual racing that bit further. We’ve reviewed its TR8 Pro Cockpit and FS3 wheel stand on the Traxion.GG website and YouTube Channel before. I wanted to gain an insight into the racing video game peripheral market, and how Trak Racer has grown. But, also, what it plans to do next. This is well worth a listen, as Matt gives us the lowdown on its next big move – electronics. Trak Racer will have software, a load cell pedal set, shifters and handbrakes, so it’s going big on sim racing.

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest’s 24 Hours Hours of Le Mans will celebrate 100 years since its first running in 2023, but before then it will also honour its third ever 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual race too. On the run-up to the big racing esports event – which will see over 40 cars, across two categories, driven by 140 competitors – there is also the Le Mans Virtual Series, organised and run by Motorsport Games and the ACO. Yes, the same Motorsport Games group that Traxion.GG is part of, albeit editorially independent. I visited its Northamptonshire esports bunker to go behind the scenes of the opening championship round – the 8 Hours of Bahrain.

Paulo Gomes, Studio and Game Director at Saber Porto is joining us today. It’s developing the upcoming racing game and simulation Dakar Desert Rally, and we had a chat at the Gamescom show recently. Hopefully, you’ll be able to gather Paulo’s passion and dedication for this project, a brand new officially licenced title for the real-world Dakar rally raid. Set in an open-world Saudi Arabian environment, it mixes five vehicle categories – truck, car, motorcycle, quad bike and SSV – plus the past three seasons of competitors within Sport, Professional and Simulation modes. The game launches on 4th October for PC, PlayStation and Xbox and we’ll hopefully have a full review and final verdict soon. For now, though, let’s hear more about its genesis.
