Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
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 video showing an onboard lap of the Chicago Street Circuit that will be raced for real this weekend. It’s somewhat strange to see, having lived in downtown Chicago for a couple of years while I worked for iRacing, to see Grant Park and the Chicago skyline recreated within a racing sim.
The circuit did of course appear a while ago in iRacing, but the 2023 real-world layout has changes to turn 4, 10, 11 and pit entry/exit.
