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.
As previously announced, the USF 2000 and Indy Pro 2000 road to Indy cars will be available next month with the new iRacing build. iRacing today previewed them by showing both cars racing around a version of Indianapolis Motor Speedway that they haven’t updated since 2009.
It’s a superb trailer, which perfectly avoids showing the old-as-heck infield roadcourse currently in the service. Hopefully with all the recent attention around online racing, eSports and iRacing, this will get updated sooner rather than later… I understand these things take time, but if your process is this much slower than everyone else with arguably no better result, I’m not sure it’s the right one.
