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.

Studio 397 published their May, 2020 roadmap today. Here are the nuggets of information taken from it:
– New build within a week that includes customization of overlays.
– Portland roadcourse will be released for FREE in June.
– Silverstone has been updated, a layout added, will be released soon.
– Le Mans has been updated and will be released soon.
– There is an unannounced car still in the pipeline.
– IndyCar materials have been updated, will be released soon.
– BOP update for all GTE cars expected soon.
– Mentioned the Ferrari 488 GT3, but not a date of release (I’m expecting June though).
Honestly, things sound really busy right now at the studio and this is a pretty big change from the last roadmap. In the last month they’ve pushed out a LOT of content.
