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 upcoming Forza Motorsport (they don’t appear to be using a number, though this would be Forza Motorsport 8) was featured in the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 over the weekend, where a new trailer debuted showing the following things:
– Spring, 2023 release date.
– XBOX, PC, “Cloud” release.
– Cars shown include Porsche 911 GT3, Mazda 787B, Penske Acura (I think), BMW M4 GT3 (I think), Chevrolet Corvette C8.R (I think), Aston Martin GT3, Vintage Camaro, Vintage Can-Am, Honda RA300 1967 GP car and more.
– Laguna Seca and more.
– Nissan GT-R road car.
– Drifting competition.
– Impressive visual paint damage.
– Lighting changes.
– Weather changes.
The end screen confirms the release date, and also says “play it day one with game pass” so this might mean it’s free to game pass subscribers. I’m frankly not sure what “cloud” means as far as which service you’d be streaming from, but it’s very cool to see PC there!
