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.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
While Black Delta continue development of KartKrafts multiplayer infrastructure, they decided on December 23, 2019 to release the community developed North Texas Karters circuit mod in Early Access. The project was led by community member Hooves and was modelled and textured using drone photogrammetry. The race track is 0.5 miles/0.8KM in length with nine turns and two long straights.
It looks *very* early in terms of track development, based on the video below:
Here are the full build notes:
