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.

Generally credited with being the car that won the 1967 title, the Brabham-Repco BT24 ran in eight of the 12 races, winning three times and taking 11 podiums that year. World Champion Denny Hulme and team owner Jack Brabham also drove the BT19 and BT20 earlier in the season.
First seen in sim racing with Grand Prix Legends (1998).
A nimble and light car, incredible fun to drive and a surprisingly close contender for race laps and wins. The Brabham’s responsive handling and adequate brakes make a competitive package which has just one negative, the engine does not deliver the speed of the Lotus or Eagle – but does closely match that of the Ferrari.
