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.
If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.
Digital Bros, owner of 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni, posted an earnings report today detailing financials up to December 31, 2023. The report shows that the company revenue decreased significantly compared to the year before and listed a net loss of 6.4M Euros. Assetto Corsa, however, is as strong as ever and doing an incredible job of propping up the finances, doing 12.2M Euros in revenue alone.
While previewing their business outlook for 2024, they also mentioned that the “launch of the Season 2024 pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione” will release “on April 1st, 2024”, confirming once again that the Nürburgring Nordscheifle will feature.

The pack was initially teased all the way back in November and certainly does seem to have been delayed for some reason to have then taken this long. I’m hopeful things are still running ok within the studio, especially considering there is no mention within this report of Assetto Corsa 2 impacting company finances.
