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.

Wrench’s developer have today posted an update that carries over from Discord, giving details of what they have been working on. Firstly, they have done another total rework of desktop interactions in what should be a much better solution than any of the past desktop interaction methods. Those changes have spiraled into a lot of new content and new features, including:
– Multi part carry. Keep dissimilar parts in clumps/piles during disassembly and move them around together. This is a pretty intuitive way to handle small parts. Parts related to a job or a corner of the car end up clustered together.
– Parts bins with local physics simulations for small parts
– Repack able boxes
– Garage furniture. Storage shelves, tire racks, work surfaces, etc. all snapped into a grid system in the garage.
– Customizable garage flooring tiles
– New lift posts, oil drain tank, etc.
– Peg board with hardware, pegbins, tool storage etc.
– New tools. Several types of manual ratchets, combination wrenches
– New hatchback street car. Either in this build or shortly after players will all start with street cars. Exocets and catfish will only exist as kits players build and won’t be able to be bought in running condition
– New garage. Players now start in a more modest residential garage located in a small neighborhood
– Jack stands: Players now start with jack stands instead of a lift
