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.

DIRT 5 Complete Car List Announced, Releases November 6, 2020
Tim Wheatley - Game News | Oct 21, 2020
0 CommentsWhile it may not be graded as a top-level simulation, I’m perfectly willing to accept that DIRT 5 might meet the criteria to be considered a sim. It certainly contains a number of real-world vehicles, so if it has some real-world tracks and the basics of vehicle and real-world racing series simulation, why not? We shouldn’t forget how much DIRT 4 surprised us…
