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?
iRacing today released an update for their service and software. It includes a fairly general set of fixes and tweaks.
Patch notes:
iRACING UI:
————————————————————–
Dashboard
Fixed an issue in Recent Results where the bottoms of the Car and Track text was being clipped.
Hosted Racing
Resolved an issue where the Hosted League Session modal would display an error if it was open when the session advanced from the “Pending” state to the “Launched” state.
AI Racing
Multiclass AI Season Session Results now properly display championship points based on car classes.
Leagues
Character limits and informative errors have been added to League info boxes during initial creation and editing.
Fixed an issue where column headers could become misaligned with the correct columns when resizing the screen.
Results
The tooltip profile of the last place finisher is no longer cut off. The “See Full Profile” button is always reachable.
The Race Results page now also shows class finishing positions for all multiclass sessions.
Friends List
The tooltip in the Friends List for the Steering Wheel icon now opens to the left instead of up. This way, long session names are no longer cut-off.

iRacing Companion App
With the start of iRacing 2022 Season 4, iSchedule is going to be deprecated.
– – All users will be logged out of iSchedule when iRacing goes down for the Season Release deployment. Then, iSchedule will be updated and will only contain a homepage with a link and redirect message to the iRacing Companion App.
– – Download the iRacing Companion App directly from your device’s app store, here:
– – – – Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iracing.companion
– – – – Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/en/app/iracing-companion/id1620903126
Setups
Fixed an issue with setups that could occur when the minimum and maximum values of an allowable range were very close. When attempting to set a value above the maximum allowable value (or just below), it would set the value to the minimum value instead.
CARS:
————————————————————–
NASCAR Next Gen Cars (ALL) – Aerodynamics packages have been updated.
TRACKS:
————————————————————–
Darlington Raceway
Track surface parameters have been adjusted slightly.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
(Road Course) – The oval outer catch fence position has been adjusted, and the brake markers and caution lights have been updated to fit the new positions.
