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.
Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
iRacing have tweeted a render of the Dallara P217 LMP2 car as a coming “soon” preview. While they have not stated a release date there are upcoming releases in September and December that it could be a part of.
The Dallara P217 was first revealed in 2016 and was Dallara’s first LMP since they helped Audi with the first-generation Audi R18. It has since been developed into a DPi version that won on debut in the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona badged as a Cadillac DPi-V.R and has seen much success in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Meanwhile it has struggled at Le Mans, not yet reaching the podium within the LMP2 class with the faster Oreca chassis dominating.
