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.

With a new trailer (below) and a news item, Codemasters and EA today announced that you will be able to select from a number of historic F1 figures in the F1 2021 MyTeam mode if you purchase F1 2021 at the deluxe pricing tier.

They also say:

F1® 2021’s digital Deluxe doesn’t just feature the seven iconic drivers, though. It includes a set of customisation items, 18,000 PitCoin, an in-game item pack inspired by the fictional stars of Braking Point (which we’ll be revealing more about very soon) and three days early access.

F1® 2021 also comes as a Standard edition, with the Braking Point content and 5,000 PitCoin.

MyTeam allows you to insert your own team into the Formula 1 World Championship and serve as owner-driver. Now you’ll be able to select from the following drivers to race your second team car:

Michael Schumacher
Ayrton Senna
Alain Prost
Jenson Button
Nico Rosberg
David Coulthard
Felipe Massa
