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.
Screenshots are below their new TV advertisement (below). Interesting to note that you can clearly see the rear end of a Williams sporting their new livery that was only revealed the same morning Codemasters published this trailer.
These screenshots no longer have the huge “NOT FINAL CAR MODELS” disclaimer, so I’m happy to assume they are final car models. All screenshots taken at Hungary.
