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.
Milestone today released the Best Vintage 80’s-90’s DLC for Ride 4.
The $5 DLC adds:
– 5 exclusive bikes (listed below)
– 10 extra events
The bikes:
– Kawasaki GPZ 900R Ninja (1989)
– Ducati Monster 900 (1993)
– Yamaha YZF-R1 – Racing Modified (1998)
– Kawasaki KZ 1000R (1982)
– Kawasaki KZ 1000R – Racing Modified (1982)
As I’ve said, I haven’t yet had time to delve deeply into the Ride series, so I don’t know whether it meets the criteria for simulation I’ve set at the Web site yet. But I will continue to report news until I get around to that.
