NASCAR Racing 4 (2001) Trailer from Papyrus. Unfortunately this trailer was created during the RealMedia phase of the internet and streaming media, so I've never seen a better quality version of it! #simracing #retrogaming #NASCAR

We'll likely never see little standalone teaser utilities like this one ever again. I couldn't just let it die. So now the Burnout VIEWCAR utility works in Windows 11. #simracing #dragracing #burnout

Richard Burns Rally (2004). This sim feels so good because the internals of the car are modelled in a way that most other engines haven't done so since they added an additional two degrees of freedom in 1998.

If any of you have been holding off on watching, subbing, following on other places or whatever, please consider doing so. Unforeseen circumstances will make the next few months a bit rough. Means I need to pivot a bit from the random stuff to what I feel can make money directly. Thanks.

I've put in a request to the SODA Off Road Racing developer to see if I can get the source code that I know he has. While I can make a launcher, I'd love to see if he retains ownership, and re-release it for him. 🤞

Yay, found a programmers guide to a 1990s soundcard on @archive.org and it has allowed me to fix my percussion gaps. Woohoo, archivism!

Le Mans Ultimate's heritage game is Zone Raiders (1995), which was the first released game developed by Image Space Incorporated. ISI went on to release Sports Car GT, EA Sports' F1 and NASCAR titles on PC, rFactor and rFactor 2. #simracing #retrogaming #ad

#OnThisDay in 1996, CNET posts the first official news about Grand Prix Legends as a "simulation based on mid-1960s Grand Prix racing". #simracing #retrogaming

If you can get past the soundtrack, the bugs, the quirks in the physics, etc, then F1 2010 wasn't so bad. My launcher: racesimcentral.net/f1-2010-easy... #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #f12010

If it isn't obvious enough when you miss your braking marker or an apex, this window should help you out. #simracing #retrogaming #indycar #ad

Tough balancing act on the effect of the wake between loss of downforce in the turn, loss of drag on the straight, and the AI coping with the speed differentials - especially once it stacks behind a train of cars. This is gamedev footage from my US Open-Wheel 85-95 Manager. #gamedev #ad
