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.
In the past week Ian Bell, CEO of Straight4 Studios, has posted more work-in-progress images from GTRevival on Twitter, showcasing the 3D grass visuals, lighting, and what appears to be the announced Lister Storm GT along with a Ferrari 550 and Dodge Viper GTS.
