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.

Buy Historical Monster Energy Cup 2011 and race the historic event in the Sam Boyd Stadium (Las Vegas).
It includes:
– Qualifications
– Last Chance Qualifiers
– Event (3 different races, 10 laps each)
And screenshots (with riders that don’t appear to tie-in with the results of the 2011 Vegas event):
