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.

Co-founded by arguably the father of the modern racing simulation, David Kaemmer, the studio created NASCAR and IndyCar titles that consistently pushed the genre forwards.
Their groundbreaking Grand Prix Legends game engine was used in three NASCAR titles between 2001-2003, evolving to become iRacing after Kaemmer re-acquired former Papyrus assets for his new company.

The new F1 Manager 2023 trailer, posted today, shows off ‘Race Replay’, a feature where you can select from 2023 real-world races and moments within them, then try to alter the course of history and complete a number of challenges based upon them.
Can you put Alonso onto the Intermediate tire at Monaco and hold off Max Verstappen for the win? It’ll be interesting to find out. I really hope this feature works well, but correcting certain other teams on pit strategy will be a full-time job!
