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.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Developer Kylotonn today released their first update for WRC 9 to the Epic store. It adds six (three, plus three reverse layouts) new stages to Finland, New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon’s Hyundai i20 WRC and a brand-new photo mode.
A second free update will include the highly-anticipated co-driver mode and is in-development now.
Patch notes below video.
