About this episode

The episode discusses the latest in sim racing, including updates on Automobilista 2 and a legal campaign affecting racing game releases.

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.
