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.
Announced by Dale Earnhardt Jr. on his Twitter, iRacing will be bringing the 1987 Buick LeSabre to their service at some point in the future. Junior also stated exactly why he went for this model over the Pontiac:
This also will make a fine 87 Oldsmobile.
That’s the reason I wanted this car over the more popular 87 Pontiac. The Buick could easily be an Olds as well, so kinda 2 for 1.
