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.

Pre-orders were announced, as I said, but as both Steam and Epic will not have pre-ordering available (and therefore no 48 hours early unlock as advertised – again – in most locations), the developer also announced in a tweet that the Peugeot 206 DLC (shown in the trailer above) will be available for free to users purchasing the Standard or Fully Loaded Editions of WRC Generations in the first two weeks after the game’s launch (until November 17).
WRC Generations was also delayed on console from October 13 to sync-up the launch with the PC release on November 3, 2022.
