Level 88: Stephen Baysted (Project Cars 2)
Stephen Baysted has a new score out and it’s for Project Cars 2, a motorsport racing sim made by Slightly Mad Studios. Stephen is a huge Formula One fan, and his music is an homage to that. For this score, he ended up interviewing Ben Collins, a racing driver and stig from the British show Top Gear, and clips of that interview can be heard in some of the tracks.
One of the tracks Stephen wrote pays tribute to Ayrton Senna, a Brazilian Formula One driver who died during a race in 1994, considered one of the best drivers of all time. That track is called “Race To Win.”
