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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.

How to run Indy 500 (DOS) on DOSBOX
Jul 11, 1989The MS-DOS version of Indy 500 works with stock settings in DOSBox and can use USB Floppy Drives and allow you to use an original copy that contains copy protection. Emulating the Roland MT-32 sound card for PC will give better audio quality.
1. Download DOSBOX (0.74 is the most used and tested version)
2. Setup a folder on your computer as the C drive
3. Copy to or install Indy 500 on the C drive you created
4. Run Indy 500
A steering wheel, though not originally supported, can be emulated via DOSBOX and works fairly well.
