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.
Join Jon Denton, Tim Wheatley, Simon Croft and guest(s) as they discuss sim racing and racing games past, present and future.
Earlier this month Fanatec announced their new Fanatec CSL Cockpit, a frame that can be purchased and then fitted with an optional (you’ll have to buy these things from somewhere, might as well be from Fanatec as well) seat, shifter and monitor mounts that can also be purchased from the manufacturer. The frame can be positioned in a karting position or upright as pictured, and is constructed with aluminum tubing and steel brackets and supports high-end load cell pedals and Direct Drive Wheel Bases up to 25 Nm, with little detectable chassis flex.
The prices look quite reasonable, and with a new CEO promising to fix the shipping delays, maybe this is a great option for a quality cockpit.
