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.
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.
My heart sunk a little the other morning when I woke up to see a Discord notification from the TrackDayR developer saying that Steam had refused their Early Access application less than a week before the scheduled release date, but thankfully this afternoon I saw another one saying they had fixed the (minor) issue and had now been approved. Yay!
This means that TrackDayR will now officially release to Steam Early Access, as intended, on March 17, 2021. Go wishlist it now if you’re interested in this title so you don’t miss the release.
