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.
iRacing have posted a few images on their social media channels recently, previewing a December update to the Watkins Glen roadcourse that I don’t think has been updated since 2008 (email to correct me, if wrong). I’m just sad we don’t have a 1967 version yet… Because while iRacing said historical versions weren’t a thing, the introduction of fantasy circuits has made that sound a bit silly.
Also recently posted was an announcement for Knockhill, though it doesn’t say a date for release. Historically you don’t tend to get a preview like this from iRacing unless it is coming out pretty soon, so I would honestly expect this in the December build as well.
