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.

I missed this the other day, but the historic car content list for F1 2020 has been released. I really like historic content, but the way it’s often used in the Codemasters titles is a bit disappointing. There’s only a couple of examples where you could actually have a fight with more than one car-spec, those being from 2010 and 1990.
The 16 classic cars are:
2010 Red Bull RB6, Ferrari F10, McLaren MP4-25
2009 Brawn BGP 001
2008 McLaren MP4 –23
2007 Ferrari F2007
2006 Renault R26
2004 Ferrari F2004
2003 Williams FW25
1998 McLaren MP4-13
1996 Williams FW18
1992 Williams FW14
1991 McLaren MP4/6
1990 Ferrari 641, McLaren MP4/5B
1988 McLaren MP4/4
Deluxe Schumacher Edition Extras:
1991 Jordan 191
1994 Benetton B194
1995 Benetton B195
2000 Ferrari F1-2000
F1 2020 is based on the COVID-19 affected 2020 Formula One World Championship, and features all content from the F1 and F2 schedule that was originally planned as well as some historic content.
