If you’re not a regular visitor to Race Sim Central, chances are you won’t have heard about Ages of Speed, an upcoming race sim from the British siblings behind Racing Legends, one of Simulatia’s most famous and beguiling bits of vapourware.

As I’ve been talking about Wars Across the World’s moreishness, fascinating themes, and disappointing AI for over six years, you’d think I wouldn’t have waited until July, 2023 to try multiplayer for the first time.
