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.
Frontier have released an update for F1 Manager 2023’s PC release that should fix the cause of frequent crashes during the race weekend. This it the third major patch released to fix crashes and lockups since early access began last week.
Changelog:
– Fixed crash that could occur during race weekend
– Added DX11 stable fallback option where DX12 crash is detected
– Prevented patch notes pop-up persisting after first launch
The console release of v1.5 is not yet released.
