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.
Saber have posted a new trailer for Dakar Desert Rally five months after their last content release and fully six months after their last post-release trailer. The game itself released almost a year ago.
While I believe Dakar Desert Rally is still a good game, having reviewed it as such, the timing of this new trailer seems extremely weird. Where’s the update?
Update:
Saber have tweeted to say that the update should be expected by Q4 2023:
Our team is working hard to bring the next major content update.
We don’t have precise release information yet, but we can confirm that we are targeting by the end of this year.
We’ll share more information as we have it. Thank you for your patience and ongoing enthusiasm!
