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.

Fanatec have announced a new $500 bundle that includes a direct drive wheelbase, wheel rim and pedals that really helps to highlight just how overpriced the Logitech DD wheel really is. (No, I don’t have an affiliate link with Fanatec prompting me to say that).
Full announcement:
High perfomance. Low Price.
Since we launched the CSL DD we’ve been working towards a clear goal – make direct drive technology available to everyone. Today we’re launching a new bundle that is an easy and cost-effective path into sim racing.
Let us introduce…
…The CSL DD Race Ready P1 Bundle!
The new CSL DD Race Ready P1 Bundle For PC comes with the CSL DD Wheel Base, CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2, and the CSL Pedals, giving you a realistic experience out of the box, while also being a great starting point in the extensive Fanatec ecosystem.
The combination of a high-performance, direct drive servo motor, an upgradeable metal pedal set and a versitile steering wheel suitable for many different driving styles makes this starter kit a simple plug and play experience for all major PC racing games.
Other Fanatec peripherals are also supported, including a shifter and handbrake.
The best deal in sim racing!
Pedals: Both the throttle and brake axes use precision Hall-effect sensors. By measuring pedal position with magnets, the system is contactless, meaning no wear on the sensor and consistent performance.
Rim: The 300 mm diameter is suitable for many vehicle types, and the lightweight construction retains fine force feedback detail even at low torque settings.
CSL DD: When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. The clear choice of all professional drivers and enthusiast sim racers is now available to a broader audience.
Price: $*/€ 499,95 – AUS$ 799,95 – JPY¥ 72,900
