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.
Following up the recent video interview trailer with their own Executive Producer and Thrustmaster’s eSports International Team Manager, Studio 397 have now posted a new one with Porsche Factory driver Matt Campbell and Josh Rogers of Porsche Coanda eSports Racing Team.
Though the intro is worth watching, they begin to talk about the actual software at the 3:40 mark. There is some (minimal) footage shown of the software this time.
