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.
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.

F1 2020 will feature the original 22-Track schedule. I don’t know if there truly was much doubt that this would be the case, but it’s good to have it confirmed in any case. This means we will get to run the new Zandvoort, and see what would have perhaps happened this year if the planet wasn’t under the grip of a global pandemic.
However, it seems that the teams shutting down has had an effect on the release date. It sounds like some have not yet delivered CAD to Codemasters for car modelling, and have shuttered operations. We may not see F1 2020 until at least a couple of months after the F1 teams go back to work.
