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.

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.

I kind of hope a better explanation is coming, because I honestly didn’t value VR as a concept until I took the plunge and tried it – and this wouldn’t convince me to do that). Maybe the latest developer deep dive (which I’ll be posting next but haven’t had time to watch yet), will do that…
