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.

The Force RS racing system provides both quality and performance for console or computer racers. Act Labs’ drivers made setup easy, and the force feedback performed well – especially in sims like NASCAR 4. The components are fine-tuned, and the wheel sports simulated leather, which makes it extremely comfortable. The Force RS’ only drawback, albeita slight one, is that it has flipper shifters instead of a stick. That said, Act Labs provides an excellent stick shift accessory for anyone who’s looking for some serious realism. With its rock-solid pedal base, the Force RS is an excellent rig for beginners and hardcore racers alike.
Requires 486MHz of higher, Windows 95/98, joystick or USB port, Direct X 5 or higher, console and Mac compatible.
Price: $140 ($190 with shifter)
