    Straight4 CEO Switch and LMU Plays its Joker

    Le Mans Ultimate has arguably been Julys hot topic in sim racing, for both good and bad reasons. Motorsport Games changed its decision to place its new Joker feature behind a subscription paywall following community backlash, but with the V1.4 update and two new US tracks to play with, will all be forgiven and forgotten? Other major news this week includes a CEO swap at Straight4 Studios (with the polarizing Ian Bell making way for former chief development officer Kevin Boland), and a massive move in the hardware space, as MOZA Racing becomes the official hardware partner and supplier for the Gran Turismo World Series, in place of Fanatec. John Munro, Tom Bunten and Ross McGregor discuss it all, and as always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section, or via our Discord server.

    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.

Join John Munro, Tom Bunten and Ross McGregor for both heated debate and general natter in equal measure.
