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.

Announced back in April a few months after the news that iRacing had acquired Monster Games, the console-based World of Outlaws title appears to be on-schedule for the originally announced “fall 2022” release date.
Steve Myers (of iRacing) replied to a post on Twitter this evening with the information that Monster Games should get a master disc ready by (end of) July. This disc then has to reach approval by Sony and Microsoft prior to release and have any major issues fixed. Minor issues are obviously up to the developer and usually come along in the form of a release patch if they miss the physical disc media.
According to the tweet we can expect some previews to come along this summer.
