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.
As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Studio 397 deployed a new build earlier today, mentioning within their news post that Diriyah would be released later today… Well, here it is!
The Diriyah Street Circuit is located in Saudi Arabia and was the first Middle Eastern track to host Formula E. It is currently two years into a 10 year hosting contract with the series.
The Studio 397 track is laser scanned, has 21 turns, and a length of 2.459 km. You can purchase on Steam.
