Talking Sim Racing And Unsung Heroes : Rambling About Cars #6 Feb 12, 2021 at 9:34am ET ++ It's podcast time! Motor1.com writer Matthew Crisara is an avid sim racer, so naturally, we spend quite a bit of time talking video games this week. For the second segment, we each select a vehicle that deserves more respect, and it turns out we have some strong opinions about each person's choice. In terms of video game genres, an accurate simulation of racing is fairly young.

These experiences were almost entirely on PCs, and console gamers had to wait quite a bit longer.
