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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
The creme de la creme of racing rigs. Even though the TSW2 Cup is highly priced, you definitely get what you pay for: high quality and lasting durability. The wheel base – easily the best of this bunch – weighs in at a hefty 15 pounds, and the TSW2 Cup sports a firm 13-inch steering wheel. While the TSW2 Cup requires some assembly and lacks force feedback, the precision and control of this wheel are the best of any we’ve tested. But this rig loses a little due to woefully short wiring, a rather flimsy shifter, and lack of USB support. Overall, this wheel is for serious racing fanatics with high-performance wallets.
Requires Windows 95/98, joystick port.
Price: $415.
