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.
A new ‘Pro Challenge’ available for F1 23 where users can compete with Charles Leclerc at the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA 2023.
From September 5 to September 11, participants can enter ‘F1 World’ and test their skills against Charles Leclerc’s fastest virtual lap time of 1:20:151. Players who surpass Leclerc’s lap time will receive the exclusive helmet he sported during Monza. This is the second of the newly introduced ‘Pro Challenges’, allowing fans to experience the thrill of competing directly against their favorite drivers.
