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.

I decided to put together some 16:9 desktop wallpapers. The images were selected rather randomly, as I initially just wanted to make some backgrounds for myself to use throughout the year, but once I saw the attention they got on Twitter I decided to make it public.
I will tweet them out at the beginning of every month throughout the year, but you can also download them all (12.5MB) right now. You can also open the images below in a new tab and remove the areas in bold from the URL to get the uncompressed version of the image: https://i0.wp.com/racesimcentral.net/*.jpg?ssl=1
