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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about.

The folks over at Kunos Simulazioni have released another small update for 1.7 today. It balances the GT3 cars and fixes and/or tweaks the UI. The update also fixes one of my main annoyances with ACC – finally – and that is the permanent kerb sound in replays. I can’t even tell you how many times I have tried to use a lap to make a video and just hear that kerb rumble looping over and over, ruining the rest of the audio.
GENERAL:
– Bonus Alpine Esports Series livery for Special Event hotlap competition.GAMEPLAY:
– Removed 90-minute Free Practice length option from all championship race weekend types.
– Fixed gallery replay having permanent kerb sound in some situations.
– Fuel widget now shows per lap calculation based on last 3 laps instead of session aggregate.UI:
– Slow cars and cars with significant damage are now marked yellow on the track map.
– Fixed team logo stretching on the car selection page when season strip is hidden.PHYSICS:
Minor balancing tweaks for the following GT3 cars and track categories:
– BMW M6 GT3 at BrGT A and IGT D
– Porsche 991II GT3 R at BrGT A and IGT D
– Mercedes-AMG GT3 and Evo at BrGT A
– Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3 at BrGT A and B
