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.
Saber Porto have posted on social media some text suggesting that the remaining DLC shown on the image below scheduled for 2023 will be released in a single update. It’s difficult to know how to take this, but obviously preparing and releasing a single patch does reduce workload, even when the sum of the whole is the same as the individual parts would have been when released bit by bit…
I’m personally waiting on replays and photo mode to do a little bit more Dakar Desert Rally racing, so I really hope this isn’t adding much of a delay to the features overall.
