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?
After posting the release notes the other day (with a date on the post of July 3, 2023), EA have today released the patch.
There are still a significant amount of issues, most notable among them summed up by “Tyre degradation differences between teams despite equal performance” in their known issues thread. What is that? Well, a bug that existed at least as far back as F1 22 means that when set to equal performance tire wear was simply not equal. This means there may have been a significant disadvantage to running certain teams in online competition.
Red flags have been fixed. You will now keep the correct position after the race ends.
