Video game development is rarely about one man, but if it was, then Terence Groening should certainly get a mention for his contributions to the genre as the man responsible for the physics of Sportscar GT, EA’s PC F1 and NASCAR games of the early 2000’s, rFactor, rFactor 2 and every title and rFpro simulator that spawned from ISI’s engine.
This interview with RSC details his early life and career, through to him joining iRacing in 2021.

Ayrton Senna tested the Penske PC-21 on December 20, 1992 after his 1993 McLaren contract negotiations stalled. He ultimately never raced it.

I have been working on an update to the Setup Developer Tool in my free time over the winter. There were a couple things that I wanted to add to the app after gaining some knowledge in the coding department as well as hearing from some of the users of SDT18 over the years. The primary purpose of the re-write was to provide greater details to the user without making it more difficult to use.
