Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Originally known as Papyrus Design, the legendary Massachusetts-based software studio developed highly-regarded simulation titles and published with Electronic Arts, Virgin Interactive and Sierra before their shutdown by Vivendi, owners of Sierra, in 2004.
Co-founded by arguably the father of the modern racing simulation, David Kaemmer, the studio created NASCAR and IndyCar titles that consistently pushed the genre forwards.
Their groundbreaking Grand Prix Legends game engine was used in three NASCAR titles between 2001-2003, evolving to become iRacing after Kaemmer re-acquired former Papyrus assets for his new company.

Invictus Games have released an update for CRC Extreme on Steam. Check out the details below.
Release notes:
The first patch for the Steam version of Cross Racing Championship Extreme has been released.
Build 909 contains the following:
– Set up Steam Cloud, syncing career progress, control settings, Time Trial results and replays between PCs.
– Fixed a startup crash occurring when using any languages other than English. This crash affected mostly Windows 7 users, but technically could have affected everyone.
– Fixed a possible crash in a JVM.
– Build 908 introduced a /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag, allowing the game to use a 4GB address space. However, this could cause crashes when compiling scripts, so it has now been reverted to how it was in non-Steam versions.
– Corrected names and country codes of several AI drivers.
– Improved diag.log memory status logging – it now logs amount of physical RAM correctly on all devices.Cheers,
CRC Support Team.
CRC includes on and off-road racing across vast open terrains where racers can contest over 60 races across six distinct environments ranging from icy mountainous regions and lush countryside to parched desert areas and beaches. Later released on Steam.
