Spa-Francorchamps 1967 in Grand Prix Legends. One of only a couple of choices Papyrus made that stepped away from realism as a design decision, and not a limitation of the technology, was using the modern profile of Eau Rouge. #simracing #retrogaming #belgiangp #f1 youtu.be/m7EwseXUSuw?...

Although the Jordan 191 wasn't the best one they made, I truly appreciated the classic F1 cars Codemasters added to their titles from F1 2013 on. #simracing #f1 #belgiangp youtu.be/oqymIFLgIvA (For every video BlueSky fails to process without reason, forcing me to link to YT, I hear a puppy dies).

RBR was supposed to be a franchise. The untimely death of Richard kept this as a one-off. But what a one-off it was... Check out this preview featurette on Richard Burns Rally from PlayStation World Volume 45. #simracing #retrogaming #richardburnsrally youtu.be/xIj4gKbomZ0

As North Wilkesboro prepares to host a points-paying NASCAR Cup Series race for the first time since 1996, lets look back at the description of the track in the 1995 Track Addon pack for Papyrus' NASCAR Racing (1994). #simracing #retrogaming #nascar

Papyrus made the incredible decision to include the full-length Nürburgring Nordschleife, as it was in 1967, in Grand Prix Legends. Without access to modern laser scanning it was an incredible achievement in quality and accuracy. #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #nordschleife youtu.be/agXH5sCmNB4

Interactive Entertainment's 1995 review of INDYCAR Racing II. #simracing #retrogaming #indycar IE was an incredible digital magazine that used video clips and images aligned with voiceover audio to compliment their content. Terrific stuff. youtu.be/bqsQBDP8xi0

Bethesda made racing games, and this collaboration with Skip Barber Racing School could have been something special. #simracing #retrogaming #bethesda #skipbarber I'd love to do more longer edits like this, but alas, hard to find the time. youtu.be/kR1U7TEonz4

Atlanta Motor Speedway in NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition. #simracing #retrogaming #nr1999 #nascar While this was a solid introduction for sim racing to many, it was also a disappointment to those of us who were ready for "GPL physics" to make their way to NASCAR.

Far from universal. much info after ? is used for navigation. Such as... racesimcentral.net/indianapolis... Delete the ?sim=playamiga and you're not playing it on an Amiga emulator anymore.

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would
