Racing games have played a big role in all of our lives to this point, and If you are listening to this then we are sure it’s the same for you too. What we aim to do is bring together racing game fans from all genres, whether that be casual arcade racers, retro gamers or even hardcore sim racers. We are open to any topics, from celebrating the best games of a certain era, to ranking a franchise and, of course, trying to settle the big racing game debates once and for all. From Excite Bike to F1 2021, and almost everything in between, we’ve played a lot of racing games in our time, and quite frankly we don’t plan on stopping any time soon. Whether you’re on a wheel, controller, or keyboard, it doesn’t matter, we’re going to have a blast while racing against the clock, the AI, or other human beings. Two doors or four, open wheels, ovals and road courses, we love it all, and we love talking about it even more. As a group of fellow racing game nerds, we each have our own unique opinions, so we won’t always agree. Join us on our journey through the wide spectrum of the genre. Who knows, sometimes we may be mildly entertaining. So, with all of that in mind, keep listening for more coming very soon. Please subscribe via your favourite podcast service or on YouTube to be the first to hear episode one.
