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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
iRacing today posted a second screenshot of the previously announced Dallara P217 LMP2. You can see the first screenshot here.
The Dallara P217 was first revealed in 2016 and was Dallara’s first LMP since they helped Audi with the first-generation Audi R18. It has since been developed into a DPi version that won on debut in the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona badged as a Cadillac DPi-V.R and has seen much success in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Meanwhile it has struggled at Le Mans, not yet reaching the podium within the LMP2 class with the faster Oreca chassis dominating.
