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.
As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Codemasters have deployed v1.15 on all platforms. It’s a fairly basic update, and you can see the changelog below:
Added the ability to enable equal performance in Time Trial
Marcus Armstrong now has the correct nationality
Addressed an issue where Artem Markelov would be quicker than intended
Pedro Piquet now has the correct number on the rear wing
Addressed an issue where sponsor boards and garage textures were missing on Bahrain for F2 2020
Users will no longer incorrectly receive a warning when changing components between Practice and Qualifying
They also released the final driver rating update for F1 2020. This alters the AI drivers so they are more or less capable depending on how their results stacked up in the last few races of the real-life season. Lando Norris and Esteban Ocon were the biggest gainers in this final update.
