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?
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.
Burdened by a hugely problematic Ilmor 2175A V10, this Leyton House car never was able to show its true speed during the 1991 season. A sixth-place in Hungary felt like luck more than anything else.
Under the name March this car was entered in 1992, somehow securing a 4th-place finish with Karl Wendlinger, who had his debut drive in this car.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).
