Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.

I made a quick video (below) showing both the cars. It’s my first time running a rally game of any kind for years, so please excuse my poor technique and high number of gear changes (especially in the Subaru).
It was very easy to feel the differences in handling between these two vehicles. The Subaru has much nicer handling, is easier to slide when you want it to. The Ford Focus might actually be faster, but it’s hard as hell to drive because it’s so very responsive to input and ultimately hard to man-handle into a slide.
DR2 is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters featuring a mixture of Rally and Rallycross content from both historic and modern era.
The game may be considered the thirteenth title in the Colin McRae Rally series, and is the seventh title to carry the Dirt name. The publisher confusingly released DiRT Rally, DiRT 4 then Dirt Rally 2.0 all with a similar concept and content between 2015 and 2019.
