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.
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?
The 1994 McLaren MP4/9 was without the active suspension, power-assisted brakes, ABS traction control and Honda engines of the previous seasons MP4/8, and ultimately is considered an unsuccessful car. For the first time since 1980 McLaren failed to win a race, and this was mainly down to the Peugeot A4/A6 V10 engine and its chronic unreliability.
First seen in sim racing with GP2 (1996).
