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.
The Mount Panorama roadcourse is located in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia and runs up and over a hill with the official name of Mount Panorama (Wahluu).
The track is best known for the Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercars race held each October, and the Bathurst 12 Hour GT car event held each February.
Added to Assetto Corsa Competizione as DLC released Feb 4, 2020.
