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.
If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.
Nacon, game publisher for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, announced via a recent financial report that the current provisional date is around February-March, 2024. The image does list both “PS4” and “X1”, which is interesting because previous information had suggested the product wouldn’t release on previous generation platforms. But again, it says “TBC” (though that appears to only be referring to the Switch release).
It’s very possible, of course, that this move may be an attempt to avoid Forza Motorsport.
