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.

Ian Bell, CEO of Straight4, shared a link to an unlisted YouTube video posted by Doug Arnao driving what appears to be the Ferrari 296 around Interlagos. The footage appears to have been recorded on either the 20th or 30th of November, 2023, based on the date shown on the Windows taskbar at the bottom right of the screen.
The software is obviously work-in-progress, possibly not completely fit for public showing, so it’s hard to judge anything from the video itself apart from an apparent lack of input lack and the fact the framerate looks strong. The most notable thing to me is the involvement of Doug, who I first remember seeing in the credits for Grand Prix Legends way back in 1998. He has been involved with Ian Bell basically ever since.
