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.

F1 2020 will feature the original 22-Track schedule. I don’t know if there truly was much doubt that this would be the case, but it’s good to have it confirmed in any case. This means we will get to run the new Zandvoort, and see what would have perhaps happened this year if the planet wasn’t under the grip of a global pandemic.
However, it seems that the teams shutting down has had an effect on the release date. It sounds like some have not yet delivered CAD to Codemasters for car modelling, and have shuttered operations. We may not see F1 2020 until at least a couple of months after the F1 teams go back to work.
