PC Zone Hints at October, 1998 Trans-Am ’68-’72 Release

The August, 1998 issue of PC Zone had a small preview of the upcoming historic Trans-Am simulation from GT Interactive. There’s no new information other than the release date, which seems to have been brought forward from the original Spring, 1999 window.

If you’ve ever fancied yourself behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang, AMC Javelin, Plymouth Barracuda, Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird or Trans Am, look out for GT Interactive’s Trans-Am Racing this October. It’s a 3D race sim that captures all the thrills and spills of the 1968-72 SCCA series. The developers insist that their physics model is the most accurate yet, and to help make the game accidents seem more realistic they even went to the extent of crashing the cars and analysing what happened. They also brag that their 16-player network option is unequalled by any other driving game.
