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.
ICR2 is a simulation of the 1995 IndyCar Series. It featured 15 tracks and a selection of chassis and engines.
Re-released as CART Racing.
Join Jon Denton, Tim Wheatley, Simon Croft and guest(s) as they discuss sim racing and racing games past, present and future.
In a thread on the Steam community forum for rFactor 2 a user is reporting recently seeing “Server credit” as an item to purchase in the rFactor 2 steam store. While it has now been removed from the store this does appear to indicate that, like iRacing, rFactor 2 users will soon be able to setup a server – for a fee – using someone else’s hardware. Queries on whether this would replace the free hosting options were quickly pushed aside with a Discord response from a developer that stated “Normal hosting is untouched by this”.
It’s very likely this feature will also be present in Le Mans Ultimate so it remains to be seen (and confirmed) just how this is going to work in rFactor 2. As an employee of ISI when the packaging system was first developed, and someone who actually hated it because of the complexity it added for hosting, I’m really hoping this simplifies the whole process. However, I do wonder whether this will have mod support… Ideally I’d love to see it hook into the rFactor 2 Steam workshop in some way…
