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.
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.
Reiza posted their dev update last night. As usual I will condense it down to just new information:
– Current plans forecast 2-3 cars, 1 track per month in 2021.
– 2020 season passes will cover all released in 2021.
– Spa 1993 is in-progress (image below), this will come in-place of the planned 1991 version due to better source material.
– Group C Sauber Mercedes C9 and Porsche 962C coming in February update (screen below).
– 1999 GM Omega Stock Car coming in February update (screen below).
– Anniversary (1 year since first release) build will have new cars, quality of life updates, and the Custom Championship Tool (UI screenshot below).
