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.
Supercars and iRacing today announced that Sandown Raceway and Winton Motor Raceway will join the iRacing service in 2022 along with AI support for the Australian V8 Supercars. These join the existing Australian circuits of Mount Panorama, Phillip Island, and Oran Park. Read more about the tracks at the iRacing Web site and check out the laserscan pointclouds below:
