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 folks over at Kunos Simulazioni have released another small update for 1.7 today. It balances the GT3 cars and fixes and/or tweaks the UI. The update also fixes one of my main annoyances with ACC – finally – and that is the permanent kerb sound in replays. I can’t even tell you how many times I have tried to use a lap to make a video and just hear that kerb rumble looping over and over, ruining the rest of the audio.
GENERAL:
– Bonus Alpine Esports Series livery for Special Event hotlap competition.GAMEPLAY:
– Removed 90-minute Free Practice length option from all championship race weekend types.
– Fixed gallery replay having permanent kerb sound in some situations.
– Fuel widget now shows per lap calculation based on last 3 laps instead of session aggregate.UI:
– Slow cars and cars with significant damage are now marked yellow on the track map.
– Fixed team logo stretching on the car selection page when season strip is hidden.PHYSICS:
Minor balancing tweaks for the following GT3 cars and track categories:
– BMW M6 GT3 at BrGT A and IGT D
– Porsche 991II GT3 R at BrGT A and IGT D
– Mercedes-AMG GT3 and Evo at BrGT A
– Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3 at BrGT A and B
