Known primarily for their mod-friendly SCGT and rFactor racing platforms, ISI also developed Formula One and NASCAR titles on PC for Electronic Arts, but perhaps their lasting contribution to the genre was the licensing of the isiMotor engine that allowed studios such as 2Pez, Blimey! Games, KW Studios, Motorsport Games, Reiza Studios, SIMBIN Studios, Slightly Mad Studios, The Sim Factory, Tiburon and rFactor 2‘s ongoing developer Studio 397 to begin with or release on an evolution of their software.
Another fork of the isiMotor engine, rFpro, continues to be developed and is used by a wide array of automotive companies for both road and motorsport simulation.

This official update for the Windows 95 version of IndyCar Racing 2 updates the 1.0.0 version to 1.0.1. Will not update the DOS version. The update addressed issues with loss of connection on the standings screen and unmatched weather in multiplayer sessions, UI buttons not working as expected, fixed replay positions after visiting the garage, stops the system from crashing if you quit during the credits and makes the championship winner screen show even if you don’t win the last race of the season.
GP2 is a simulation of the 1994 Formula One World Championship. It includes the 16 tracks from the season and allows the player to select from 14 teams.
