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.

KW Studios today released their recently announced Donington Park circuit for Raceroom. The track includes both the National and Grand Prix layouts and can be purchased in their store.
Track description:
Donington Park is one of the most internationally-renowned and historically significant circuits in the world. The 4 km long track is located near Castle Donington in the picturesque Leicestershire, England. Being Britain’s first true road circuit to be built, the circuit has a rich history in motorsports, spanning from classic Grand Prix racing in the 1930s through to the modern era. The track continues to host major national and international events, including yearly visits of the BTCC, British GT/F3, World Superbikes and a historic festival. Drivers love the challenging layout defined by fast flowing corners like the “Craner Curves” and the “Old Hairpin” combined with good overtaking opportunities at “The Esses” and the “Melbourne Hairpin”.
