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.
Studio 397 today announced their plans for future developments as well as licensing for the Daytona International Speedway roadcourse and oval.
Firstly, their ‘road ahead’ developer update details the plan to release quarterly updates similar to how iRacing does. It’s a much more manageable and predictable way of doing things for both the developer and customer.
Quarter 1 Release – February
Quarter 2 Release – May
Quarter 3 Release – August
Quarter 4 Release – November
The Daytona announcement comes after the Rolex 24 weekend and gives rF2 yet another major endurance venue to join Sebring, Le Mans, Nurburgring and more. The addition of the oval can be used with the existing generic stock cars in the sim at the moment.
