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.
SIMBIN today announced that their historic GT Legends title will be published by Atari in (if I understand the press release correctly) Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Scandinavia, Greece, Israel, South Africa, South America, Australia and New Zealand.
Press release:
10TACLE and ATARI conclude comprehensive distribution agreement regarding GT Legends
Apart from Central and Western Europe the distribution agreement comprises South America, Australia and South Africa.Darmstadt (Germany), 11 August 2005: The German publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS AG concludes a far-reaching distribution agreement with ATARI for its new motor sports simulation “GT Legends”. Thus the two companies continue their successful collaboration that they started with “GTR – FIA GT Racing Game” and extend their sales territory to Scandinavia and the German-speaking countries. The French company is henceforth in charge of the sale of the title in the following countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Scandinavia, Greece, Israel, South Africa, South America, Australia and New Zealand.
“GT Legends” is the successor to the internationally successful “GTR” and thus satisfies the highest demands in virtual motor sports. Even after the first previews “GT Legends” has become the new reference for racing games. The prospective release for October is being confirmed!
