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.

NASCAR posted some interesting videos on their social media today. They preview, apparently, a street circuit that iRacing have built for NASCAR set on a fictional layout with the city skyline in the background.
I used to be a huge NASCAR fan, but really most of their recent decisions have pushed me away. A street circuit race in Chicago just seems like another gimmick where NASCAR are trying desperately to find new fans while alienating those it already had. As for iRacing, I assume they got paid for this, so they probably don’t care whether their community wants this or not, but it is a bit worrying just how many of their recent content announcements or releases have been fictional. I don’t mind it, but it does contradict basically everything their technology has always marketed itself to be.
Feel free to say what you think in our (new) iRacing forum…
