The Traxion Control Sim Racing Podcast

On this week's Traxion Control racing video game and sim racing podcast, the team discuss the recent spate of 'unfinished' racing games released.

Join Thomas Harrison-Lord, John Munro and Tom Bunten to discuss Formula Legends, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, Old School Rally, Project Motor Racing and Rennsport as title launched with good ideas, but a lack of polish.

Then, they discuss if early access is a good programme or not, should Wreckfest 2 or Assetto Corsa Rally be part of that system, whether Nacon Racing is on the rise, will Screamer sell well and answer a community question.

As ever, let us know your opinions in the comments below!
