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.
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.
Kunos Simulazioni have released the 1.10 patch (again, because numbers are fun) for Assetto Corsa Competizione and along with it the gorgeous looking Nürburgring 24h Pack DLC for $12.99. The patch itself adds the Alpine esports liveries for 2024, adds features to support the Nürburgring 24h, tweaks and fixes AI, GT2 and more.
