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.

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.

Previously announced with an acquired license announcement and teaser, GameMill Entertainment have today officially announced NHRA: Speed for All will be released August 26, 2022.

I have picked the main details out of the press release for you (below). This doesn’t say an awful lot about physics at this point other than saying they are aware of them, but let’s hope for the best. Check out the trailer below that, which quite likely does include some pre-rendered scenes but also definitely includes in-engine visuals as well.

Screenshots:

– Release expected on PS5/4, XBOX X/S/1, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
– Pre-ordering available according to the press release, but I don’t see it on Steam for wishlisting yet and the Web site says “soon” for everything else. Priced at $49.99.
– 5 NHRA Vehicle Classes: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Mod and Super Modified.
– 38 Licensed drivers.
– Licensed tracks like Bristol Dragway, The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, zMax Dragway in Charlotte, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona and more.
– Career modes and sponsorship tiers.
– Online leaderboards.
– Split screen multiplayer on consoles.
– Deluxe, Ultimate versions being sold, and DLC packs expected with items (see below).
– Deluxe includes the game and John Force pack.
– Ultimate includes the game and John Force pack, along with The Battle Ready Pack, The Moonshot Pack, The Electo Blitz Pack and The Nitro Fire Pack.
