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.

In their latest newsletter Straight4 Studios have confirmed that the Lister Storm will be coming to GTRevival in what is the first officially announced car coming to the title. There’s a superb write-up on their Web site detailing the history of the brand and racing pedigree of the car itself, but unfortunately – no screenshots.

I really do love this car as, perhaps more than the Dodge Viper that carried GTR sponsorship and was driven by SIMBIN’s Henrik Roos, it was probably the car most of us associated with their GTR franchise. It’s frankly really cool to see it returning!
There was a render posted along with the news. Feel free to compare that to the GTR 2 screenshot I used in the header, I guess?
Also in the newsletter was the confirmation that Jonathan “ZonZ” Marier has joined the studio. This, for me, is one of the cooler announcements as the trailers produced highlighting Project Cars and Project Cars 2 were really often spectacular.
