A classic Pontiac Firebird, on dirt, in TOCA Race Driver 3. If that’s not a recipe for disaster, I’m not sure what is. If Codemasters was a restaurant, this would be the equivalent of an ice cream-topped pizza with a side of cement. Still, as I progress through the World Tour mode, with little else…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 9”»
The last of our current Assetto Corsa Competizione track guides takes us to Oulton Park in Cheshire. Anyone who has driven Oulton competitively will know just how much of a challenge it is. I guess you say it’s like the Rainbow Road of British motorsport. I don’t just say that because of the difficulty, more…Continue reading “WATCH: Oulton Park Assetto Corsa Competizione track guide”»
Donington Park will be known by many racing fans outside of the UK as the venue that in 1993 saw one of Ayrton Senna’s greatest ever drives in the wet. It so nearly held another Grand Prix in 2010 too, but this failed to materialise. I’m not convinced Donington Park would be the perfect track…Continue reading “WATCH: Donington Park Assetto Corsa Competizione track guide”»

Well, I had this great idea of trying to set a world record in my current favourite rally game, the aforementioned art of rally. Recently revealed for both…Continue reading “WATCH: Can we set an art of rally world record?”»
Like The Sopranos or Daft Punk, all good things most come to an end. The same is true of my introductory video series discovering the delights of BeamNG.Drive. It’s been fun, and as I type this, I’m getting emotional. I’ve failed and crashed many times, but not much comes close to the jubilation I felt…Continue reading “WATCH: A very late introduction to BeamNG.Drive, the finale”»
We take our track guides very seriously here at Traxion. Fresh off the back of Assetto Corsa Competizione circuit assistance manuals, I’m now going to create one for the most realistic simulation of them all: Wreckfest. The Eagles Peak Motorpark venue was added to Wreckfest as part of the December 2020 Racing Heroes Tournament update…Continue reading “WATCH: A very serious Wreckfest Eagles Peak Motorpark track guide”»
Maybe I’m always being a bit harsh when it comes to Snetterton. I had always assumed it was a track that was universally believed to be less enjoyable than many of its British counterparts. However, having spoken to a few racing friends, I was surprised to hear that quite a few people really enjoy driving…Continue reading “WATCH: Snetterton Assetto Corsa Competizione track guide”»
The final original Assetto Corsa Competizione track to be covered in this series, Zolder can be found in the North East of Belgium. Renowned for not being the most famous circuit in the country, this place has its own challenges that set it apart from many other European venues. I personally love the test that…Continue reading “WATCH: Zolder Assetto Corsa Competizione track guide”»
