Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?

The Unreleased GPL-Like Genre-Defining Historic Trans-Am Simulation

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.

rFactor 2 Build 8092611 Adds New 2022 UI, Teases Upcoming Indy car with Push To Pass, Weight Jacker?

Tim Wheatley - Game News | Jan 27, 2022

Studio 397 today deployed their first major update of 2022 and it includes the entirely new UI which should greatly improve the first impressions many have of the sim as a whole. There are a series of videos I have included below which walk you through each section of the UI, but I think my favorite is the new showroom and the fact content purchasing can now be done from within the simulation rather than on the Steam Web site.

Regarding the IndyCar, check out this tweet and the image below showing an Indy car that certainly isn’t a Dallara DW12.

Here are the build notes (note the top line, IndyCar fans):

Client: 8092611
Dedicated Server: 8092617

Added Push-to-Pass and Weight Jacker.
Custom controller profiles no longer save with -80% exaggerate yaw.
Yaw override in controller profiles defaults to being disabled unless added manually.
Official controller profiles have been updated to override this to 0% for all steering wheels, among other override changes.
Reviewed Glare Settings to reduce excessive brightness in day, and improve headlights at night.
Some small adjustments to Lighting Parameters, to bring warmer hues to the scene.
Improved windscreen rain effects and external car glass specular
Fixed stutters in replay monitor.
Driver labels re-enabled, updated with new behaviour and style.

Obviously it’s best to check out the new UI for yourself, but these videos do a great job of showing how things work as well:
