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.
Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.

TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 Announced: May, 2023 Release
Tim Wheatley - Game News | Nov 25, 2022
0 CommentsYesterday during Milan Games Week, RaceWard Studio (who I thought had fully re-branded to Nacon Milan – because that’s what they said) announced the third title in the TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge franchise. Using the Kylotonn engine once again, the product is scheduled for release next May (2023).
Apart from the TT course (click here to view my hotlap in the first title) I am very curious what the other 31 promised tracks might be, whether they have fully embraced Irish road racing, or whether they’ll be generic fictional tracks as-seen in the previous two titles. Also curious what will be free or paid DLC as the Formula 2 Sidecars were paid DLC in the past.
Lastly, I’m hoping they improved the physics… I actually felt it went backwards between the first and second title.

Press release:
THE WORLD’S MOST LEGENDARY MOTORCYCLE RACE IS BACK WITH TT ISLE OF MAN – RIDE ON THE EDGE 3
Lesquin, 24 November 2022 – During Milan Games Week, RaceWard Studio, racing label of Nacon Studio Milan, is unveiling its next motorsports simulation game: TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3. Developed by veterans of the studio with many motorcycling games to their name, TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 lets gamers experience the thrill of the most dangerous motorbike race in the world.
The TT Isle of Man takes place on a 60km (37 miles) circuit where riders and their overpowered bikes take incredible risks to try and win the ultimate prize: being crowned champion of the TT Isle of Man. TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 includes the official content of the 2022 TT (teams, bikes and courses) and offers a unique and authentic experience. Thanks to the power of the KT Engine and the team’s extensive experience (already put to good use in RiMS Racing), RaceWard Studio recreates all the tension and passion of the iconic race. The realism of the TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge series is such that multiple professional riders trained on the previous game to prepare for the official race!
TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 features 32 different circuits, including current and historical courses, nearly 40 Superbike and Supersport motorbikes and riders, and upgraded physics. Controlling cornering and braking requires more precision than ever, and motorcycle upgrades gives players the tools they need to achieve maximum performance.
A new “Open Roads” feature has been added and plays a central role in TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3. Riders can travel freely on 200km (124 miles) of roads around the Isle of Man to find points of interest and challenges to complete, including online competitions as well as weekly and monthly events.
“After the great feedback we received about RiMS Racing, we are delighted to have applied all our expertise into this incredible race,” said Marco Ponte, CEO and Creative Director at RaceWard Studio. “For a team of developers with such passion for motorcycling, it makes us immensely proud to make the official game that recreates this legendary race for motorbike fans around the world.”
TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 will be available on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo SwitchTM in May 2023.
