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.

Quite a few gaming news sites are reporting the news that Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Gran Turismo, has stated that GT7 could come to PC based on an interview conducted by GT Planet that I encourage you to read.
However, I’m not going to hold my breath. He also stated that: “There are not many platforms which could run the game in 4K/60p natively, so one way we make that possible is to narrow down the platform.”
Reading that, honestly, seems like more of a confirmation that it would never release on PC because there are vastly more low-spec PCs than higher end machines and if that is truly his caveat to PC release, then it’s never going to actually happen. Sorry.
But let’s say that it does… I really think this would be a huge positive. Potentially the only loser in the whole scenario would be Sony and possibly Microsoft because they’d perhaps be forced to do the same with future Forza titles.
