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.

Its international triumphs include back-to-back victories in the Spa 24 Hours, a win in the 2019 Bathurst 12 Hour, and multiple IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship wins, including the last two editions of the 12 Hours of Sebring. It joins a robust lineup of Porsche cars on iRacing, including the Porsche 919 LMP1, Porsche 911 RSR, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, and Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
