These new stories spark a debate among the Traxion team about the future of yearly sports releases, what we’d like to see from Assetto Corsa Rally next, whether or not a console update for Assetto Corsa Competizione was worth it and if Pikes Peak will ever, ever, make it into Gran Turismo 7.

He joined John at Le Mans last week to take a look at a very exclusive replica sim racing wheel, but while they were there, they noted a fairly sizeable sim racing presence at the special 24H event.
Automobilista 2 has also been in the news, with an extensive, and somewhat confusing update and content release. But as always, there was plenty going on elsewhere...
Join John Munro, Tom Bunten and Ross McGregor for both heated debate and general natter in equal measure. All topics above are covered, as well as new demos and a noteworthy legal campaign that could reshape racing game release terms in future.

Traxion HQ is on fire at the moment (not literally, thankfully).... It's Forza Horizon 6 launch week and things are manic!
But it's not just Forza.... Late last week saw the launch of a brand new game in early access, CarX Drift Racing Online 2, as well as a number of SimRacing Expo announcements.
Join Thomas Harrison-Lord, Tom Bunten and John Munro as they discuss all of this, and tackle Terje's tricky question about alternative sim racing disciplines.
Is drifting harder than rallying? What is the best karting sim? How about rallycross and folk racing? And should there be a hillclimb-specific sim racing title?
Let us know your thoughts down below!

From the outside looking in, it's been a quiet start to the year for the world of sim racing, with more casual games taking centre stage. But, as is often the case, things are very much bubbling beneath the surface.
In this episode, as well as covering the current happenings with Le Mans Ultimate, iRacing, RaceRoom and Project Motor Racing, John Munro and Traxion Senior Editor Ross McGregor dissect the latest Forza Horizon 6 reveals, and discuss your favourite rally games.
As always, let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below! And if you have any questions, we will endeavour to answer them in future episodes.

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.

Nacon, and presumably its Nacon Racing division, is facing some financial challenges as its parent company, Bigben Interactive, defaults on payments. Thomas Harrison-Lord and Tom Bunten discuss this news, and potential ramifications, plus explain which games Nacon is responsible for (WRC, MXGP, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Endurance Motorsport Series).
Then, there is some behind-the-scenes gossip from a recent Rennsport event, and our biggest community Q&A yet, with your questions and comments discussed.
As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments!

On this week's Traxion Control racing video game and sim racing podcast, the team discuss the recent spate of 'unfinished' racing games released.
Join Thomas Harrison-Lord, John Munro and Tom Bunten to discuss Formula Legends, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, Old School Rally, Project Motor Racing and Rennsport as titles launched with good ideas, but a lack of polish.
Then, they discuss if early access is a good programme or not, should Wreckfest 2 or Assetto Corsa Rally be part of that system, whether Nacon Racing is on the rise, will Screamer sell well and answer a community question.
