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.

EA Announce Impressive 78 Licensed Vehicle WRC Car List
Tim Wheatley - Game News | Sep 18, 2023
0 CommentsEA have announced a list of 78 real-world rally cars that will be spread across 18 car classes in their upcoming licensed WRC title. The list includes ten modern cars, also includes 3 “Builder Cars” you can design yourself within the for WRC, WRC2/Rally2 and Junior WRC categories and even a massive roster of historics that will hopefully feature in scenarios as-seen in the F1 franchise.
The list also includes the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 under the H3 (RWD) category and of course, that shouldn’t be there. The RS500 was a touring car, not a rally car. While this has been an error in many previous DiRT franchise titles it’s disappointing to see the mistake carried over into their first WRC game, and is hopefully not an indication of the care and attention that’s gone into research or development. The rally car is a Ford Sierra Cosworth RS.
