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.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Frontier have posted a new trailer for F1 Manager 2023 that details some of the upgrades you can expect to see when watching the actual races unfold. You can watch it below, but I have also listed the statements made within it for easy reading:
– Different lines based on push levels, conserving tires, etc
– Side by side racing improved
– More dramatic and realistic crashes
– Quicker recovery from spins
– Driver confidence and tactics more directly lead to results
– Better AI gives greater variations in other management decisions and pit strategies
