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.
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.

One of the most dominant cars ever seen in motorsport the McLaren MP4/4 really should have won every race during the 1988 season – and came close to doing so. Powered by a Honda RA168 turbocharged V6 engine it took 15 poles and 15 wins from the 16 races that year, giving it a 93.8% winning percentage, and only losing one race at Monza due to a collision with a lapped car. Ayrton Senna took his first world title in this car, and McLaren won the constructors title for 1988.
The McLaren MP4/4 was included as historic content in F1 2019.
Added as historic content to F1 2020.
