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 recently deployed their sixth patch to the 2020 Season 3 update. It looks like a nice all-round list of fixes. You can see the changelog below:
iRACING UI: (04.09.03)
Current Series and Up Next
– In Table view, fixed an issue where hovering the mouse over a logo was displaying a flashing tooltip.
– In Table view, a tooltip has been added to the column header for Registration Closes.
– A tooltip has been added to Unranked Series to clarify that participation in these events does not count towards Minimum Participation Requirement (MPR).
AI Racing
– Fixed an issue where adding a new AI Driver to an existing AI Roster was resetting the AI Drivers’ car numbers to default sequential values.
Search and Filter
– Fixed an issue where several special characters ([ ] .) were causing an error when input into any Search field.
Spotting
– Fixed an issue where Spotting was failing instead of prompting the user to download and/or purchase any needed updates or content in order to join as a Spotter.
Clock
– Fixed an issue where the UI clock was sometimes using the local system clock instead of the iRacing Server clock.
SIMULATION:
Connection
– Fixed an issue that could cause a crash during session transition from Open Practice to Race.
Rendering
– Fixed an issue where SMP on GTX1000 series GPU’s often clipped out a pixel’s width of the image on the right edge of the middle and/or right monitors, creating one or two lines down the display where only sky would render. This was especially noticeable if running three-screen mode on a single monitor.
Car Paints
– Fixed an issue where custom specular maps were getting removed from a car after a new team driver swapped into the car.
Controllers
– Logitech keyboard backlight support has been disabled due to a bug in the latest GHUB software that causes a lockup of iRacing on exit.
– – We are working on a proper fix for this issue.CARS:
