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.

The Ford Focus RS 2001 finished second with Colin McRae.

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.
