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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
Turn 10 has posted footage showing off nearly 18 minutes of early gameplay in their upcoming Forza Motorsport release. The video features three events where the player drives an entry level Honda Civic as well as the Cadillac Racing V-Series.R 2023 and Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 cover cars. The tracks used include Grand Oak, Hakone and Maple Valley.
This is clearly a tutorial tier of racing with clear guidance and simplistic goals, but it looks good to me and I doubt is much of a spoiler for anyone.
