Originally known as Papyrus Design, the legendary Massachusetts-based software studio developed highly-regarded simulation titles and published with Electronic Arts, Virgin Interactive and Sierra before their shutdown by Vivendi, owners of Sierra, in 2004.
Co-founded by arguably the father of the modern racing simulation, David Kaemmer, the studio created NASCAR and IndyCar titles that consistently pushed the genre forwards.
Their groundbreaking Grand Prix Legends game engine was used in three NASCAR titles between 2001-2003, evolving to become iRacing after Kaemmer re-acquired former Papyrus assets for his new company.

Also in a Q&A session on Discord the developer confirmed modding, saying:
“We want to provide the most powerful toolkit possible so you can easily add new cars and tracks – and other elements that we decide to open up to modding.”
“We looked at what is out there and feel that there is potential to do it in a better way. We realized that we have to create a special team which is just focused on creating tools for modding and APIs. Currently, we are in the hiring process for that team. It is a big priority for us.”
While I can see it being reasonable to assume the sim can do GT cars it’s likely to take a number of years for the studio to adjust their engine for other vehicles. It’s somewhat hard for me not to be cynical about this one, because they haven’t seemingly even begun to work on the feature yet.
