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.
Codemasters added a video to their YouTube today previewing split-screen multiplayer in F1 2020. While this isn’t something I expect PC users to really use, it’s certainly something console users will appreciate. During the summer holidays for the kids and stay-at-home pandemic difficulties related to COVID-19, I’m frankly delighted to see this, as I remember playing ‘hot seat’ multiplayer in an F1 game back in the early 90’s!
Note: The footage below is clearly recorded from users either inexperienced, or using a gamepad.
