Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
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.
Technically very similar, the Ferrari 488 GTE and GT3 drive quite differently. The GT3 variant has ABS, slightly less downforce, and a worse power-to-weight ratio than the GTE, which subtly changes the balance of each.
GTE released June, 2017 for iRacing.
GT3 released September, 2017 for iRacing.
GT3 released September, 2018 for Assetto Corsa Competizione.
GTE released May, 2020 for rFactor 2.
