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.

iRacing today announced that their 2021 Season 2 build had another update, this time a hotfix for their previous changes.
Here is the full changelog:
iRACING UI:
General
– Improvements have been made to the iRacing UI window behavior.

SIMULATION:
Race Control
– Fixed an issue with the early release of missed-start vehicles in multi-class sessions when a pack of vehicles was more than 20 seconds behind the leading pack.
Hybrid Vehicles

Audio
