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.
Microprose today announced on the official GP3 Web site that the final version of the CD has gone to duplication. Grand Prix 3 is scheduled for official release at the end of the month.
Today it all fell into place. The final bug was fixed, all paperwork was signed and the gold master of Grand Prix 3 was delivered. One shiny gold disc now holds the fruits of years of toil and expertise and is whisking it’s way to duplication plants across Europe.
