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.

– Added more telemetry output: Vehicle world position, session elapsed time, session name, track name, track address, track country code.
– Added the ability to manually drive in to the pits during practice sessions.VR
– Improved VR input for menus. Menus now default to using mouse, with an option to switch to gaze input available in Settings > VR.
– Added new setting to fine tune world scale in VR. Use this setting only if the world feels “wrong” to you. Default of 100% should be correct for 99% of people. Available in Settings > VR.
– Added an option to switch between Headphones (head-tracked) and Speaker (non-head-tracked) mode for audio. Available in Settings > VR.
– Fixed a bug which caused VR settings to be invisible.Input
– Fixed issue preventing the ability to bind G27 clutch pedal.
