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.

During a charity livestream today on a Twitch stream Greg Hill posted the following screenshot. There’s not a lot more information, but it’s pretty cool to have this confirmation that such a highly requested feature that really is such a massive part of racing outside US oval racing is in-progress.
As I commented when they first previewed Hockenheim (the track used for this as well), it’s pretty annoying that they are previewing with a McLaren not using the livery it had in real life as it gives me a heart attack thinking they have also licensed a more modern F1 car… But, oh well. Maybe it’s part of the licensing agreement to showcase the sponsors McLaren tell them to.
