MicroProse has reunited with legendary developer Geoff Crammond, the mind behind some of the most influential racing simulations of the 1990s and early 2000s. The renewed partnership brings Crammond back into the spotlight as the team works to revive the technology that helped shape the genre.
The collaboration will see the return of Crammond’s original racing game engine through a modern re-release that includes enhancements, updated tools and Steam Workshop support. This effort will take shape as the Geoff Crammond Racing series with GCR1 through GCR4 planned for release in 2026. The games will carry new names to reflect an independent path and maintain separation from official motorsport licensing, while still preserving the heart of the original experience.
Although the branding has changed, the core simulation engine, physics systems and design philosophy remain intact. Crammond’s work laid much of the groundwork for modern racing games, introducing features like advanced real-time physics, configurable driving assists, realistic AI behavior, detailed telemetry, deep car setup options and dynamic weather systems that pushed realism forward.
