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.
If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.
Coming to the March, 2020 Build of iRacing is the new damage for the NASCAR K&N (above) and the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR (below).
From iRacing.com:
Coming this March, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR brings GT4 action to iRacing! Our newest sports car joins the multi-class IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge for 2020 Season 2, and will compete in its own support series alongside the Porsche Esports Supercup throughout the 2020 season. In addition to its regular series, you’ll have a chance to race the Cayman in the IMSA 90 Minutes of Sebring special event on March 15.
The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport represents pure motorsport. The recipe is well known and proven: lightweight, well-balanced performance. Whether driving it at a track day or in wheel-to-wheel competition, it is in its element. But be careful: the more you drive it, the less you want to stop. The GT4 Clubsport is more than a commitment to the racetrack, it is a declaration of addiction to motorsport.
Check out screenshots of the new car below, and get ready to take it to the track in our next build!
