About The Traxion Podcast - Racing video games, esports and sim racing
The Traxion Control Sim Racing Podcast is your entry into the world of racing video games and sim racing.
PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch, if there's a car or a bike in the title, we'll likely discuss it on this show. Doubly so if Knockhill is included...
A podcast from the Traxion.GG team.
It's pandemonium at Traxion HQ as the team prepare for this years SimRacing Expo in Frankfurt. Clearly, it's equally frantic across the whole industry, as game developers and hardware manufacturers line up their latest new content launches, in time for the show.
Amidst the plethora of DLC announcements and social media steering wheel teasers, Playground Games confused us all with a U-Turn on the PS5 release date for Horizon 6. At least we have one now, aligned with the first expansion pack.
Here to discuss it all, and respond to your questions and comments, are Tom Harrison-Lord and John Danvers-Munro.
Hopefully, we will see some of you in Germany, do come and say hello!

Gran Turismo 7, redundancies and Ferrari's disappearance
A double dose of double-barreled Northerner today as John Danvers-Munro returns alongside Tom Harrison-Lord to discuss all things racing games and sim racing.
This week, the boys talk Singapore and the Gran Turismo World Series event following THL's fleeting visit at the weekend. It wasn't just GT7 news coming out of Asia, with Thrustmaster also unveiling its latest officially licensed Gran Turismo bundle, the familiar looking T-GT III.
But it's not all good news this week, with further racing game redundancies on more than one front.
Tune in as Tom and John dissect the lot, plus a handful of fantastic community comments and questions.

Assetto Corsa EVO free roam soon and F1 Sim Racing’s decline - Traxion Control Podcast
Tom and Ross discuss the most important news in sim racing and video games over the past seven days, which this time includes significant Assetto Corsa EVO and F1 Sim Racing topics.
For the former, free-roam is set for an initial rollout soon, confirmed for its next early access update. Meanwhile, for the latter, the end could be nigh (in its current form, anyway) for the sport’s virtual pinnacle.
The duo also discusses Project Motor Racing and Rennsport’s recent updates, the next two Assetto Corsa release windows, the Genesis Magma Racing Esports Series on Le Mans Ultimate, and the recent SimRacing Expo announcements.
