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.

The 1994 Jordan 194 was an extremely competitive car that took Rubens Barrichello and Jordan to their first pole and podium finishes. With a string of fourth-place finishes Jordan took fifth-place in the constructors championship, albeit powered by the non-factory Hart 1035 V10.
First seen in sim racing with GP2 (1996).
