Marcell Baranyai, developer of Grand Pro Circuit, has posted a video on social media that shows off a "pre-87" layout that is "getting very close" to the "final look". racesimcentral.net/grand-pro-ci... #simracing #grandprocircuit

A timeline of the abandoned NASCAR Racing 3 that was intended to use the physics from Grand Prix Legends, featuring multiple images and trailers you might not have seen before. youtu.be/p8q9Y3sRIxo #simracing #retrogaming #nascar

Ever wonder if the Ubisoft F1 sims really were given a fair shake? They were competing with Crammond, ISI, at a very competitive time. I know I need to revisit them myself. Did you ever try these? youtu.be/ENLoRIeHvZM #simracing #f1game #f1racingchampionship

A new Endurance Motorsport Series trailer shows off pit strategy, dynamic weather, driver changes and Porsche cars at Spa, but I'm still having a hard time labeling the game inside my head racesimcentral.net/endurance-mo... #simracing #endurancemotorsportseries

Heusinkveld announce DisplayDash, a digital display with physical inputs that I can see having many uses inside and outside of sim racing racesimcentral.net/heusinkveld-... #simracing #heusinkveld

This year Milestone will be releasing Screamer, a reimagination of their 1995 racing game published by Virgin Interactive under the same name. youtu.be/R1wtimb7yBM #screamer

This full computer system bundle included a copy of Geoff Crammond's Formula One Grand Prix. It was an incredible gift that I am so grateful to have received when I was a 13. (Thanks Mum and Dad). youtu.be/Tp4eubpdEWA #simracing #retrogaming #amigasforever #f1gp #frontierelite2 #commodore

New patch for Automobilista 2 improves TAA and AI logic racesimcentral.net/automobilist... #simracing #ams2 #automobilista2

How much detail did they get into this track model? Every. Bit. youtu.be/h4dba11eVhA #simracing #retrogaming #indy500 #indycar

#OnThisDay in 2006, SIMBIN Announce #GTR2. Only a month later they would announce an FIA GT license that would take them all the way to 2012. Unfortunately, we did not get any future standalone GTR titles. racesimcentral.net/simbin-annou... #simracing #retrogaming

A new video compares AI and Johnny Dumfries at Adelaide in 1986 racesimcentral.net/grand-pro-ci... #simracing #grandprocircuit

Ferrari once signed an insane deal. INDYCAR haven't signed a good one in a few decades. Enjoy a few Cover Stories. youtu.be/vhI9TphvpdQ #simracing #retrogaming #indycar

If you have multiple seasons of content and aren't building a career mode where a user can combine them, you're doing it wrong. youtu.be/HLvi4lyZM60 #simracing #f1game #retrogaming #f1

Well, I have been intending to dump the forums from my site for a long time because, well, nobody used them. Anyway... How are we feeling about Discord going public and sending out a survey about using AI to collect data from servers?

#OnThisDay in 1998, GT Interactive (also publisher of Driver) announced Trans-Am '68-'72. Before Grand Prix Legends had released, this title was groundbreaking, and would have been an extremely early 6DOF physics engine. racesimcentral.net/the-unreleas... #simracing #retrogaming #unreleasedgame

Eifel Free Roam is still coming to Assetto Corsa EVO in 2026, and while the new trailer obviously showcases a work-in-progess version of ACE, it already looks pretty impressive. I even did a 'takeaways' YouTube video for you: youtu.be/YZEopIQmb2U #simracing #acevo #assettocorsaevo

Slowly getting used to 'actually posting on YouTube'. This time, talking about how the A.I. lines worked in Papyrus sims and why, potentially, more advanced developments for AI might be a bit of a step back. youtu.be/LxSa5A7nmgE #simracing #retrogaming #papyrus #nascarracing

I'll be in Daytona Beach next month for a race of some kind. Will be a bit busy, but between Florida and Illinois there has to be some good retro gaming and computer shops, right?

Don't you miss game manuals? Me too man, me too. Check out this 'educational' unboxing of NASCAR Racing 2002 Season and a look through the manual. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar #nr2002 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzkb...

How old are you on a scale of Cartridge to Cat6? The only scale that matters. #simracing #retrogaming

This had to go through a lot to get here. It has been in attics, storage units, suitcases, four countries, and it took 25 years to get framed. #stirlingmoss

Because the NVIDIA presentation annoyed me yesterday, showcasing another racing game and making it look worse in the process, here's a quick unscripted rant. :) youtu.be/4q-JuwJiJ1Y #nvidia

Around this date in 1998 news emerged that Papyrus had extended their CART license. This was later confirmed with an announcement in Sierra's InterAction Magazine. I recently found paperwork from Papyrus naming CART Racing 1999. #simracing #cart #indycar #onthisday racesimcentral.net/papyrus-exte...

Yikes. NVIDIA isn’t offering much to racing sims at CES 2026. racesimcentral.net/nvidia-isnt-... #simracing #racinggames #screamer

Yesterday the Grand Pro Circuit developer tweeted about the important work he's doing on world boundaries and event triggers. racesimcentral.net/grand-pro-ci... #simracing #grandprocircuit

Got about a third of the way through price adjustments on my eBay listings to try to supplement my income a bit. Lot of big box games I either don’t want or have duplicates of, if interested. US only, sorry. www.ebay.com/usr/racesimc...

Interested in a career mode? Incase you missed it, Le Mans Ultimate opened 2026 with a preview of their career mode, showing off an image of a user accepting a contract to run as a supporting driver for a customer team and more. racesimcentral.net/career-mode-... #simracing #lemansultimate

2026 has started off right. GTR 2 (2006) now has physics based force feedback and native VR. racesimcentral.net/gtr-2-gets-n... #simracing #retrogaming #gtr2

Shawn Nash took the Papyrus sims to Windows & modern graphics, created one of the first truly advanced physics engines in SODA Off Road (1997), and took scan data into the surface you feel in iRacing. My interview: racesimcentral.net/an-overdue-i... #simracing #retrogaming #nascar #gamedev #iracing

Well, damn. I now found out that Albert Penello has also passed away. Both the legends in this video from Computer Chronicles in 1995 are no longer with us. youtu.be/JPNTd16fDqI #simracing #retrogaming #needforspeed

Very sad to hear about Stewart Cheifet. I never saw Computer Chronicles in the UK, but now have, giving me an understanding from before I had a PC. Here is Papyrus Showing off NASCAR Racing on CC (1994) youtu.be/ipYjuxm-2Iw #simracing #retrogaming #nascar #computerchronicles

Certain games were played with a TV in my case (Amiga, mainly). How do you folks feel about scanlines (I faked these in photoshop) on these very low res titles?

Wrote a script that is the kind of content I would like to actually make. Requires me to build a peak Windows XP megamachine. i7 3770 + GTX 780 Ti + an SSD. I haven't had to think about shot lists seriously in a really long time.

Game dev isn't about one man, but if it was, Terence Groening might be that one. Physics and more of SCGT, NASCAR Thunder and F1 2000-03 on PC, rFactor, rF2, he joined iRacing at the time of my interview with him in 2021 #simracing #gamedev #retrogaming racesimcentral.net/an-interview...

So I now have a bit of php that will mention donating to help with costs on the web site (desktop only) now. It will show if there’s not enough in the PayPal account and disappear each time I pay. I disabled Google Ads because they’re crap a long time ago and I really don’t want them back.

First ever screenshot of Indianapolis 500: The Simulation (1989) was published around this time in 1988. Polygon graphics were state of the art at this time, and Indy 500 was among the first non flight simulation to use them. #simracing #retrogaming #dosgaming #indy500 #indycar

NASCAR 25 Launched without Portland and an up-to-date Sonoma, but incase you missed it, iRacing Studios have announced both will be coming to the game next month. racesimcentral.net/portland-rac... #simracing #nascar #nascar25

#OnThisDay in 1999. Six months after signing a five year F1 deal, Hasbro laid off 2200 people, and that came shortly after Sierra had laid off several hundred. Merry Christmas, indeed. #simracing #retrogaming #falcon4 racesimcentral.net/microprose-o...

Watched @natelupson.bsky.social stream a bit of Driver earlier today. Here’s my collection. The big black box is a huge model car that was given to select media. Great games and like Nate said if they had stuck with a driving-only niche it would have stayed special.

95 new 2025 liveries were added to Assetto Corsa Competitizione this morning... racesimcentral.net/assetto-cors... #simracing #beacc #assettocorsacompetizione

Incase you missed it, Grand Pro Circuit can now be wishlisted on Steam. This title, oozing with passion and brilliance, is a retro-inspired 80s F1 title made by a single developer. racesimcentral.net/grand-pro-ci... #simracing #grandprocircuit #gpcircuit #retrogaming

As painful as it might be, I kind of hope Supernova DON'T give us full rally stages in Early Access. Memorizing all the twists and turns of the locations before the game officially releases wouldn't be in our own best interest racesimcentral.net/assetto-cors... #simracing #acrally #assettocorsarally

Always cool to see RSC still represented in LFS. 😍
