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.
In a post on their Patreon a couple of weeks ago it was confirmed that the FIAT Lingotto rooftop track is coming to Ages of Speed. I won’t share any of the full resolution renders, though Patreon members got to see 24 of them.
The track, best known by many for featuring in The Italian Job, was a test track built on the roof of the Fiat factory in Turin. It’s now used for jogging, but the re-imagined version that will be in Ages of Speed will include a pit area, grandstands, and is sure to be a hit in period vehicles.
