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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.

It seems that there has been some confusion around the upcoming season addon for GP3. Hasbro have now stated that a patch addressing general gameplay issues that exist in Grand Prix 3 will be free, while the upcoming 1999 season content won’t be free. Clear?
Their statement:
Hasbro Interactive will soon offer a free patch for Grand Prix 3 to address the joystick and steering wheel issues identified just after the game’s European release. The patch will be available for download at the Hasbro Interactive Web site.
Separately, Hasbro Interactive is planning to release an expansion pack for Grand Prix 3 that will include the 1999 F1 season. Details regarding the expansion pack will be shared around ECTS, in early September.
