Hello new people. Here's an intro.
UK born, live in USA, married. Founded a web site in the 90s, left when I was hired by John Henry to work at iRacing. Went to Image Space Inc. after 5 years, then Studio 397, rFpro, back to Studio 397, then onto Straight4.

Can see the angle here, but probably disagree in the short term. It means they have written off the new ruleset in 2026, and that they will shoehorn them into the current game. That's a lack of service for 2026.
"It was time for a rethink, and in a surprise move, EA has listened. Real change is on the way."

Opinion: By skipping F1 26, EA has finally listened to gamers
DLC instead of a new F1 game in 2026? Bring it on.

Did you know Richard Burns Rally was supposed to be a series and not just a single release? The untimely death of Richard Burns was obviously a major part in the cancellation of the series.

I don’t know why I do this to myself because I never feel like I have the time and energy to do much, but I setup a presentation area. The idea being to present to camera in all the YouTube videos I also don’t have the time or energy to make. Think stuff like @actionretro.bsky.social does.

The Mac release of NASCAR Racing (released in 1996, not 1994 like the PC version), featured a licensed 1996 carset - including Dale Earnhardt - rather than the 1994 carset seen on the PC release.

Going back to my last post here... I can see why Apple dumped their G5 CPUs and switched to Intel.
With NR2003 the FPS is better on an Intel Mac running a PowerPC binary through Rosetta translation than it EVER ran on a PowerPC, even the fastest G5 they ever made.
How much better? 40-50% better.

Picked up a couple of Power Mac G5s today that I saw on Facebook Marketplace. Seller only posted pics of the Dual Core model so I assumed that's what they both were. Turns out there was also a Quad core, the fastest Power PC Apple ever produced. It even has liquid cooling.

Taito share an image they’ve used AI to colorize. Except it didn’t just do that, it got the game name wrong, melted faces and hands, changed faces entirely, and more. As someone trying to build an archive of racing game history, this would potentially make me create a record of a non-existent game!
