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.
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.
The last car to win a world championship with either a V12 engine or manual transmission, the Honda RA121E 3.5 V12-powered McLaren MP4/6 scored eight wins and 19 podiums.
While technically outmatched by the Williams FW14, it took advantage of the teething problems of the FW14 in the early season, allowing Ayrton Senna to take his final drivers championship prior to his untimely death.
