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.

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.
