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 in the comments!
