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.
Legendary British game developer whose career spanned a 20 year period and included groundbreaking simulations of Formula Three and Formula One, including arguably the first ever racing sim: Revs (1984).
Most famous for his Grand Prix series that were published under the MicroProse label until 2000, his career unceremoniously ended when his studio was shut down by Infogrames and the Xbox version of Grand Prix 4 cancelled just prior to release.

games.Please note that different versions of SCGT are not compatible for
multi-player games.Fixes:
* Replay interpolation much improved
* Replay weather conditions should now always be correct

* Various networking improvements.
* Added “dash” to starting view options on options/misc tab (option
sticks from realtime as well)
* By request, Main taskbar in options no longer slides away when
not in focus
* Road Atlanta: hills smoothed out
* D3D for 3Dfx put back in (to use D3D on primary adapter, you must
disable on 3Dfx).
SCGT is a simulation of the 1999 United States Road Racing Championship. It includes a mixture of cars and tracks that were in the series that year, were planned for the future, or added for value once the USRRC folded mid-season.
