Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about.

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.

Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
