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.
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.
Over Jump Rally, the magnificent looking SEGA Rally clone with modern graphics, is now listed on Steam and available to be wishlisted.
Description:
DRIFT LIKE IT’S 1995
Put your helmet on, fist-bump your co-pilot, and get ready to drive flat out for another lap in the legendary Forest stage!
Challenge yourself to improve your best times or just take a walk around the Yosemite Pioneer History Center, where the event takes place… you might find some familiar faces!CAUTION! Nostalgia overload!
WHAT’S THIS PROJECT ABOUT:
Over Jump is an independent and unofficial tribute to Sega Rally Championship, the glorious arcade racing game from 1994. The idea is to recreate it using Unreal Engine 5: refreshing the graphics to today’s standards while keeping the same arcade driving style.
