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?
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.
SIMBIN released a demo today for their GT Legends title, featuring Dijon’s two layouts and three historic sports cars. You will be able to drive either a Lotus Elan, Jaguar XKE or Chevrolet Corvette.

GT Legends invites you to a test drive
The demo version of the historic racing simulation impressively underlines the quality of the new reference in this genreDarmstadt, 17 August 2005: The racing game-highlight “GT Legends” of this coming autumn is for the first time presented to the general public on the Games Convention in Germany. Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS AG as well as the developer SimBin grasp this opportunity to present the game to all of those who are unable to visit them on the GC. From today on, the official demo version of the game can be downloaded from the home page! The new graphics engine is quite impressive, not only because of the latest shader effects and complete DirectX 9 support but also due to a dynamic light system. The cars as well as the circuits are fascinating due to their detailed modell and this way a unique race atmosphere is created.
On the two circuits in Dijon the first three of more than 90 different touring cars from the great era of motor sports can be taken on test runs. The Corvette is one of the most popular cars of the historic FIA Championship. The Chevrolet Small-Block V8 engine in particular proves its power on the straights. A very strong competitor is the Jaguar XKE, this powerful machine can accelerate very well in bends thanks to its light aluminium chassis. The perfect package between roaring horse powers and slightly prancing handling is found in the Lotus Elan with it 160 HP. With this car nobody has to fear the competitors, except on long straights.
