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.
Raceroom is a free-to-play online service that allows users to have an online career racing against others in ranked servers.
While the parallels to iRacing are obvious, Raceroom does a good job of standing out due to the fact it’s free (additional content is paid), and that there isn’t any oval racing.
Check out the trailer below:
