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.
Nacon today posted a gameplay preview showing some onboard and chase cam footage from a section of the Snaefell Mountain Course in the upcoming TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 title that is due for release in May, 2023.
The video description reads:
On the Isle of Man, the slightest mistake can be fatal. At more than 300km/h, the landscapes go by and you must not lose focus for a second. For this first gameplay video, you will discover the section one of the Snaefell Mountain Course, THE race of the Isle of Man TT, reproduced in 1:1 scale. From Bray Hill to Ballacraine, multiple dangers await you but also surprises, like the iconic buildings and churchs, the Railway Inn, the Twisted Chimneys of Glen Vine or the Crosby Hotel.
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 will be available May 2023 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
