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.

Triumph’s jewel in the crown, the Speed Triple RS has been updated with a 3-cylinder, 150 hp engine: perfect for navigating those hairpins!
The Monster Plus is the same, encapsulating Ducati’s brand with an even more minimalist look, while the KTM 890 Duke R, “the super scalpel”, offers exceptional stability on bends.
Two limited-edition models by MV Agusta and Vyrus: respectively the Rush 1000 (of which 300 models were made), and the Alyen with only 20 samples.All light, fast and ideal bikes for tackling Stelvio’s narrow curves and steep climbs – inspired by the famous mountain pass.
