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.
Cooler Master, who branched out long ago from heatsinks and fans, have announced a new sim racing cockpit that adjusts from a GT-style seating position to a Formula car with ease. I love the overall design on this, but it is noticeable in the trailer below that the eye position will be considerably lower in the leaned back positions. While the rear of the seat can be adjusted somewhat to raise the head I think it’s obvious this cockpit would require the use of a separate stand for a monitor that is just as flexible on positioning for height to reach your eye level.
