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.

The creme de la creme of racing rigs. Even though the TSW2 Cup is highly priced, you definitely get what you pay for: high quality and lasting durability. The wheel base – easily the best of this bunch – weighs in at a hefty 15 pounds, and the TSW2 Cup sports a firm 13-inch steering wheel. While the TSW2 Cup requires some assembly and lacks force feedback, the precision and control of this wheel are the best of any we’ve tested. But this rig loses a little due to woefully short wiring, a rather flimsy shifter, and lack of USB support. Overall, this wheel is for serious racing fanatics with high-performance wallets.
Requires Windows 95/98, joystick port.
Price: $415.
