L'ormai ben noto simracing team Redline, scuderia virtuale che può vantare tra le sue fila addirittura il pilota F1 Max Verstappen, oltre all'imbattibile "alieno" della simulazione Greger Huttu, è stato intervistato da GT Planet, per parlare a più voci del futuro del simracing. Ovviamente si comincia parlando di Grand Prix Legends...
You’ve mentioned GPL being a part of the team’s history. Papyrus’ game is approaching the two-decade mark now, which means some sim racers have the unique experience of growing up with these realistic simulators. How do you find that changes things?
Dom Duhan: GPL was huge for us, there were a few things it did that moved sim racing to new levels and indeed weren’t matched for many years. The GPL physics engine felt so dynamic and even to this date despite being superseded by most other titles out there, it still feels relatively good. It was also insanely difficult to drive, some of our drivers like Greger or Andy Wilke drove in leagues where you would race 100 laps of Monaco with full damage, one tap of the wall and you are out – this training shaped many of the top sim racers for the next 10 years.
