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.
Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
In a community update posted today, Motorsport Games gave some basic info on the near future for KartKraft. Here are the main details to note:
– Multiplayer is focus, major update due Holidays, 2022
– New class coming Q3, 2022
– Adjustable time of day coming Q3, 2022
– Console release coming “in the future”

KartKraft Community Update May 2022
To our loyal fans,
Following on our April community update, our team is hard at work to bring you new content and features to enjoy. We have an update planned in the near future to introduce some quality-of-life improvements to the game. While multiplayer racing mode still is our top priority, we expect this feature will require more work and to be available Holiday 2022.
We are committed to bringing you the best experience possible and have some exciting content planned in the meantime. You can expect a new engine/class, and multiple time-of-day track conditions in Q3 2022. We are aware of the many requests for content including new karts, weather and custom helmets and are eager to bring these, among other things, to life. Additionally, our team is working closely with Microsoft and Sony in order to bring KartKraft to the masses on console in the future.
The team can’t thank you enough for the continued support – The future of KartKraft is bright, and we can’t wait to share more information with you!
