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.
Codemasters released a couple of cars this week for DiRT Rally 2.0. Information below:
Between 2000 and 2003, the factory run Peugeot 206 Rally was extremely nimble and adaptable. This car was built to replace the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 E2, and followed in its footsteps of being based on a compact hatchback with a short wheelbase. This car took success at the hands of Marcus Grönholm on the world stage.
