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.
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.
Edit: Second image added below the first.
The image below was posted by the NASCARHeat twitter handle yesterday and shows what looks to be New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The text at the bottom right matches that on previous NASCAR 21 screenshots so it does seem like this is another NASCAR 21 screenshot…
Commenters did point out that the turn 4 grandstands shown in the screenshot no longer exist, so we’ll have to see what comes from that.
