In RaceRoom, which has overcome its slightly banal name and a troubled launch to become one of the better sims on the PC, there are glimpses of Simbin at its peak.

Seeing motorsport in the flesh - and in all that metal and rubber and glass that rushes past you - is about the sight, about the smell and, perhaps above all else, its about the sound.
