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.
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.
IndyCar Racing 2 runs perfectly in DOSBOX.
1. Download DOSBOX (0.74 is the most used and tested version)
2. Setup a folder on your computer as the C drive
3. Copy to or install IndyCar Racing 2 on the C drive you created
4. Run the setup utility to setup sound

A steering wheel can be emulated via DOSBOX.
