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.

Nacon (publisher) and Kylotonn (developer) today released a preview trailer and press release for WRC 10 focused on the Croatia Rally that will be in their officially licensed World Rally Championship title.
The Croatia Rally happened in real-life a few weeks ago and entirely takes place on asphalt roads, though those roads vary in various levels of weathered decay.
Trailer:
It appears they have fixed the issue with the dirt and smoke effect being layered behind the car glass and lights visible in the first trailer, which is good to see.

The Croatia Rally makes its debut in WRC 10
Lesquin, 20 May 2021 – NACON and KT Racing are pleased to unveil some new gameplay images for WRC 10, the official video game of the FIA World Rally Championship, which releases on 2 September 2021 on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
As we celebrate the Croatia Rally’s very first appearance in the Championship calendar, it may already be regarded as one of the most exciting events in WRC history. Contested a few weeks ago, a WRC asphalt rally has never been so close with just six tenths of a second separating the winner, Sébastien Ogier, from Welshman Elfyn Evans.
And now these breathtaking performances can be recreated by virtual drivers in September in WRC 10. The Croatia Rally takes place entirely on asphalt on very varied surfaces that are often rutted and damaged from the region’s bad weather. These roads in the heart of the Croatian countryside are often extremely narrow and require immaculate handling to maintain speed. Thanks to the ultra-realistic physics developed by KT Racing, WRC 10 offers a unique driving experience in 4K and 60FPS that closely matches what real drivers feel. Follow in the tracks of the greatest drivers and become the next legend with WRC 10!
