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.
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.
The previously announced Goodwood Hillclimb is shown in gameplay for the first time with this social media post.
First ever gameplay of the @fosgoodwood Hillclimb in RENNSPORT. Witness @JKRogers_92 winning this years RENNSPORT Summit Hillclimb competition in the @Porsche Mission R.🏎💨

Obviously it’s hard to tell much about the physics or overall gameplay from this video, but the oscillation in the suspension is a little jarring. It reminds me of GTR (SIMBIN, 2004), which had a similar issue.
Some screenshots were also posted on social media today. The visuals are impressive and very clean, perhaps too clean? I’m assuming there may be an art pass or two to come, because what leaps out at me is the lack of blending between the asphalt and grass.
