Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.

In a tweet on January 16, 2024, Saber Porto tweeted that there are no more planned updates for the Dakar Desert Rally title. This means that the livery editor apparently isn’t ever going to see the light of day, while the other items were delivered (late).
While I am disappointed to see something undelivered, I did rate the game highly ‘for what it was’ back in my original review and as someone who did not have many of the technical problems others suffered, I stand by that. The simulation aspect in navigating such a massive map like this can’t be overlooked, even if the physics aren’t the best.
