Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Le Mans Ultimate’s US Tracks and Gran Turismo 8?
Q: What do you think about Le Mans Ultimate US Track Pass content so far?
The tracks are a solid addition and demonstrate a willingness to expand beyond strict series licensing, but pricing and the inclusion or exclusion of IMSA content will heavily influence perceived value and player uptake.
Racing Games Are BACK!
Q: What do you think is more likely to happen? Le Mans Ultimate to keep expanding further and further, including graphics engine updates, or phase out Le Mans Ultimate development and start working on a new project like R Factor 3?
The hosts suggest that Le Mans Ultimate will likely remain the core, continuing updates and possibly hosting other IP within the same ecosystem, while R Factor 3 could emerge as a broader sandbox hosting non-Le Mans content, creating a balance between a focused, hardcore sim and broader IP expansion.
Project Motor Racing's DLC Mystery and Yet More GT3s
Q: TC: Do you think RaceRoom or iRacing would work on console if they could?
JP/TM: It would likely be financially viable for iRacing to move to console due to its large brand, while RaceRoom may be too niche to justify a broad console port, but both would broaden audiences if feasible.
Austin Jurs Joins Us Ahead of SimRacing Expo Charlotte
Q: What are you most excited about at the Sim Racing Expo Charlotte?
Austin expresses enthusiasm for trying new equipment from Asetek and connecting with developers and fans at the expo, viewing it as a major, immersive industry event for showcasing technology and collaborations.
