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.
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?
Studio 397 today published their Dev Roadmap for September, 2020. Here are the nuggets of new news:
– Ferrari 488 GT3 EVO 2020 to be released tomorrow (Wednesday 9/30).
– PBR shader-updated version of the Nurburgring Nordschleife is nearly finished (screens below).
– Teased licensing announcement. Dom Duhan had a “day at the lakes”…
We could try to figure out the teaser, but probably next month we will find out more. The only lakes that spring to my mind are the Great Lakes, and those make me think of GM and Ford based in Detroit… Ford would be quite an interesting target. On the track side? Belle Isle?
Other than that it’s all news that has been reported on here during the previous month, including the GT3 BOP update and new Bentley.
