    NASCAR 26, GT7's Pikes Peak Trolling and ACC Console Update

    There are new details about NASCAR 26, and Assetto Corsa Rally has confirmed new stages. 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. As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments, and join Thomas Harrison-Lord, Tom Bunten and John Munro for the latest Traxion Control Podcast episode.

    Racing Game Legalease and Le Mans

    Thomas Harrison-Lord is taking a well deserved day off, but the racing game world never stops! 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. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments.
