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.
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.
Milestone today released their second update for the PC version of their MotoGP 21 bike simulation a couple of weeks after the first. Quite pleased to see that it mentions AI, but I haven’t been able to check yet whether this means they have fixed the terrible problems the AI had in actually finishing full length races… Fingers crossed?
