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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.

I lived in Northern Ireland for a couple of years, actually pretty much on the roundabout on the outskirts of Coleraine that forms part of the Northwest 200 track. I fell in love with Road Racing while living there and along with the Isle of Man TT think they’re the greatest motorsports events on the planet.
Imagine my delight this morning to find that Milestone have given the Ulster GP track away for free in their sixth bonus pack DLC!
