    This week, an interview episode, as we once again discuss Project Motor Racing. Lees meer

    As discussed on recent episodes and on our website and newsletter, Ian Bell is no longer the CEO of the Straight4 Studios development team. That role is now held by Kevin Boland, moving from Chief Development Officer to the Chief Executive Role.

    So here, we asked about the change, and the recent Chief Creative Officer, Aris Vasilakos, joined in too.

    I wanted to know about Ian Bell’s impact, and then also what the near-future plans are for PMR, although more detailed questions about finer game performance are perhaps for another time. They clearly had a lot to get off their chests!

  16. Straight4 CEO Switch and LMU Plays its Joker

    29 juli 2026 · 48 min

    Afspelen
    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? Lees meer

    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.

    A hot mess, Traxion delivered a 5/10 verdict.

    Since then, however, a spate of patches, updates and hotfixes have tried to quell our concerns, and later this month, a ‘Patch 2.0’ will be released.

    To understand what went wrong, and what the future holds, here’s a frank interview with Kevin Boland, Founder and Chief Development Officer at PMR creator Straight4 Studios.

  39. A turbulent time for the racing game industry

    Well, it's official. After pumping up Nacon's tyres two weeks ago, then last week covering its possible financial challenges, it's gone into insolvency...
    Sorry folks!
    Here, Thomas Harrison-Lord and Tom Bunten discuss the possible fallout and why it doesn't automatically mean the end.
    Then there's the related Rennsport and Nacon breakup, and another split, in the form of Maverick Games and Amazon - but neither spells the end either, and they analyse the new screenshot of the latter.
    Tom Bunten's initial iRacing Arcade impressions are also brought to the table.
    For sim racing fans, there's a new iRacing season on the way, and the duo go through your latest feedback.
