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.

YouTube user RED4424 has published a video showing what he labels to be the SRX physics and gameplay. It’s a good video with laps on the licensed tracks, showcasing nicely what it looks like to do a single car lap on them with no AI.
While I would expect a gameplay video to include some opponents, whether human or AI-driven, it’s still a decent video. The tracks look reasonably detailed. Though I am confused to hear that “if you’ve ever watched any of their live races, it feels about like it looks” considering SRX hasn’t raced yet – at all – that kind of comment just makes me wonder if the video creator worked without guidance on what to say.
I’ll let you make up your own mind on that one. And whether it matters.
SRX is the accompanying software to the newly-formed Superstar Racing Experience series and uses the same software base as the previous Tony Stewart games.
