IMSA World Championship Racing

About

IMSA World Championship Racing is a sports prototype racing game that Studio 3DO planned for their Panasonic M2 console. The project aimed to launch in fall 1997 as an exclusive title featuring single-player action. It was set to be the first officially licensed game from the International Motor Sports Association and would have debuted alongside the system itself. The game never saw the light of day because the console hardware got cancelled before release. This leaves it as a curious piece of racing history that exists only in concept. Fans of obscure unreleased titles often discuss how this project could have changed the early landscape of sports simulation on that specific platform. Its status as an unreleased gem makes it a topic of interest for collectors and historians who track failed hardware attempts from the late nineties.
