The Traxion Control Sim Racing Podcast

A controversial topic, spurred on by the GT World Challenge using esports to form part of the Teams’ Championship points within 2021 and with many esports competitions previously offering real-world driving or training, we dive in head-first on the latest Traxion Podcast episode. Does sim racing open more doors? Is there a genuine crossover between the virtual world and the real one? What skills are transferable, if any? To help navigate us through this potential minefield, our very own John Munro is a sim racer and a real racer – which is handy! Please join the debate, we’d love to hear your thoughts, so please, comment below and let us know what you think. Will esports have a place on a traditional motorsport career ladder?

In this episode of the Traxion podcast, we’re here to discuss games that time has not been kind to. These are great racing games that were over-looked and now time has forgotten them. Well, time might have, but us three nerds haven’t! This is a good one, even if we do say so ourselves, as we dip into the memory bank of nostalgia to each pick out two racing titles that deserved more. We’d love to hear your thoughts, so please, reply on social media or in the YouTube comments what your favourite hidden gem racing games are – we’d love to know!The Traxion Podcast is available on all major podcast outlets.

Juan Pablo Montoya’s motorsport achieves are varied and very well known. You are probably aware of them already, but just for the avoidance of doubt... International F3000 champion 1998, CART series champion 1999, two Indy 500 wins in 2000 and 2015, seven Formula 1 race victories including the Monaco Grand Prix, two NASCAR Cup Series race triumphs, the Race of Champions, three 24 Hours of Daytona victories and an IMSA SportsCar Championship as recently as 2019. Oh, and of course, the 1993 Suzuki Swift GTI Championship. Now he can add an interview for Traxion about esports and sim race to his glowing résumé. Watch as Juan Pablo discusses this year’s 12 Hours of Sebring, his upcoming return to the Indianapolis 500 and how sim racing compares to real life motorsports.

As we approach the start of another Formula 1 season, the Traxion team go back in time to discuss their favourite F1 game memories, spanning three generations of games. The F1 games have a long and storied history, with titles on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and GameBoy, plus the storied Grand Prix games on PC by Geoff Crammond. The full history of premier class single-seater motorsports deserves a separate podcast all to itself, but in this episode, we don the rose-tinted glasses to discuss our personal favourites and our earliest F1 video game memories. Join us on this nostalgia trip. We'd love to hear your thoughts, so please, contact us via social media and perhaps propose your ideal pricing structure.

This is going to sting a little. But it's okay, only for 45 minutes or so. You see, in the latest episode of the Traxion podcast, we discuss what we think are the best cars in games. We know, it's contentious and you definitely disagree with us. This is why we put a little twist on proceeding. So, we each get to pick what we think is the best car in gaming, and then which cars we think are underrated, finally, we pick three that we think are OP. We'd love to hear your thoughts, and we know you'd love to tell us them, so please get in touch via social media. The Traxion Podcast is available on all major podcast outlets.

With the news that Motorsport Games intends to acquire Studio 397 and with it, rFactor 2, our very own Tom Harrison-Lord had the chance to speak with Marcel Offermans, Managing Director of Studio 397, and Paul Coleman, Director of Design for Motorsport Games, to get some more information. The big question on many sim racing fans minds is: what does Motorsport Games buying the rFactor 2 developer mean for the future of the popular simulation product? Additionally, many questions will be had from fans of the NASCAR games or those intrigued by the new BTCC and Le Mans licences held by Motorsport Games - how will they be affected? Well, we did our best to find out! We hope you enjoy this interview and, as always, keep it pinned! Support the show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
