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.
Having successfully split their trailer, preview and release to force me to post three news items about one thing (good job, guys – lol), Studio 397 today released their Formula Pro open-wheel eSports car that seems to be based on the 2022 F1 regulations in every way except engine/power (it runs with a V10 @ 18,000 RPM and 800 HP).
You can purchase the car on Steam for $5.93 USD (Steam prices vary).
Something I find interesting about this car specifically is that they said that they worked with Goodyear to develop the tire the car uses both in the wet and dry. This should provide some unique and quality elements to the longer races.
