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.
As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
After essentially being a pioneer of the Steam platform with their Race 07 title, SIMBIN have now also released GT Legends on the Valve-owned games distribution service. Love it or hate it, this is a great way to ensure this title is preserved if the trend away from boxed game copies continues.
Here are some new screenshots posted to Steam:
