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.

New sim RENNSPORT have today announced that the Goodwood Hillclimb run will be coming to their software title. I find this a bit of a confusing addition along with the vehicles shown so far, but I am interested to see whether it will have an array of historic vehicles to compliment it.

World famous Hillclimb racetrack included in RENNSPORT
Festival of Speed in Goodwood can be relived virtually.When the past meets the future of motorsport. The RENNSPORT Roadshow brought us to the world’s greatest celebration of motorsport and car culture, Goodwood Festival of Speed. We had the chance to showcase the latest build of RENNSPORT to the festival guests. To make the fit even better the visitors of our booth have been able to race the original Hillclimb racetrack in the respective build of RENNSPORT that was shown.
Although the Festival of Speed is more of a tribute to motorsport than a serious race, the Goodwood Hillclimb racetrack probably draws the greatest notoriety among motorsport fans of any decade. Since 1993, this event has been held on the grounds of Goodwood House near Chichester in southern England and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
While the festival takes place only once a year, the feeling of driving up the hill can be recreated regularly in RENNSPORT as soon as our sim will be released. With the integration of the Hillclimb, we have reached another milestone in our young company history, because this is not only an addition to our currently available racetrack, the Hockenheim Ring, but also the starting point for an exciting future partnership with Goodwood Roads & Racing.
Impressed and inspired by the past and present of racing, the feeling of Goodwood also drives us at RENNSPORT to become an important part in the realization of the Festival of Speed. Thus, in the future, we want to add the digital layer to the real race. RENNSPORT can be another pillar of this event steeped in history, paving the way for emulating the heroes of the past and present digitally, but as real as possible.
