Project Motor Racing’s launch was… sub-optimal, to be kind. Graphics issues, strange collisions, unreliable multiplayer and an uninspired career mode were layered over inconsistent driving dynamics. A hot mess, Traxion delivered a 5/10 verdict. Since then, however, a spate of patches, updates and hotfixes have tried to quell our concerns, and later this month, a ‘Patch 2.0’ will be released. To understand what went wrong, and what the future holds, here’s a frank interview with Kevin Boland, Founder and Chief Development Officer at PMR creator Straight4 Studios.

Well, it's official. After pumping up Nacon's tyres two weeks ago, then last week covering its possible financial challenges, it's gone into insolvency... Sorry folks! Here, Thomas Harrison-Lord and Tom Bunten discuss the possible fallout and why it doesn't automatically mean the end. Then there's the related Rennsport and Nacon breakup, and another split, in the form of Maverick Games and Amazon - but neither spells the end either, and they analyse the new screenshot of the latter. Tom Bunten's initial iRacing Arcade impressions are also brought to the table. For sim racing fans, there's a new iRacing season on the way, and the duo go through your latest feedback.
