The Unreleased GPL-Like Genre-Defining Historic Trans-Am Simulation

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.

NASCAR Racing 3: The Sim That Never Was

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.

SIMBIN Studios (UK) and GTR3 Social Media Goes Offline

Tim Wheatley - Game News | Aug 1, 2021

Today the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages of SIMBIN UK went offline. This comes about five months after they closed their Discord that they had opened to communicate with us (something that never happened).

I’m not sure where this leaves the development of GTR 3, but it’s safe to say that the removal of these pages perfectly fits the extremely weird story of SIMBIN UK and GTR 3.

The frustrating bit of this for me personally is that I know the software existed in some form. They even got far enough along to create a teaser trailer at one point (that was never made public), so it’s just a bit crappy to see what could have been the ‘Assetto Corsa Competizione’ of it’s era go away without ever breaching the surface of the water.

If they ever do resurface, again, I think it’s going to take a lot of work for people to accept any item of news at all. I’m just tired. Aren’t you?
