The most accurate simulation racing game ever made.
Building Simraceway into a top competitive motosport racing game was a fun and rewarding challenge. In 2009 we aimed to immerse gamers into skill-matched races where they can compete for a chance to race the vehicles in real-life at the Sonoma Infineon Raceway. We worked on bringing the most hyper-accurate details in game using 3D scanning technology that was emerging at the time. Partnerships with the biggest vehicle manufactureres enabled us to have some of the most brilliant exotic cars and race livery out there.
Designing this steering wheel was a whole new hardware challenge. At the time, most at-home driving setups attached to your desk and used pedals on the floor to brake and accelerate. We believed if we could make competitive racing more accessible to the average gamer, we could have more. I worked on the layout designs designs, the controller overlay and packaging.
The wheel ended up receiving praise from the community as an easy entry way into competitive racing and IGN gave it an 8/10.
