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.
Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio, United States has been used by IndyCar since July 4, 1982. A fully functioning airport the rest of the year and shut down for the event, the race was very popular amongst fans, as the long, wide, runways allowed for side-by-side racing, fast speeds, and superb passing zones around the entire track.
First seen in sim racing with IndyCar Racing (1993).

In a post on their blog this week, Fanatec announced that they don’t expect Sony approval (what has been holding up shipments of the ClubSport DD+ Wheel) to be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks. It was previously expected to have been resolved by now.

Dear Community,
We would like to provide you with an update on the status of Sony’s approval for the ClubSport DD+.
At the time of our last update, we expected to receive the license by mid-January. However, we were now informed that the review process is still ongoing. Currently, we do not anticipate receiving the license for the first product on the market, which incorporates Sony’s new security electronics within the next two weeks.
We are very sorry that we have not yet received a green light to ship this exciting new product to you and apologize for any resulting inconvenience to you. It goes without saying that we will continue to keep you updated on a shipping date as soon as the details are made available to us.
Thank you for your patience!
Your Fanatec Team
