Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
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.
SIMBIN have released a new trailer that shows GTR and then some of the new features we can expect to see in their upcoming GTR sequel. Check out the trailer and the press release below.

Press release:
Tough competition on the circuits in GTR 2
Darmstadt, 28th April 2006: Developer SimBin Development and Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS reveal new scenes from their stunning racing simulation “GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game” which will be released in the summer of 2006.
One of the major innovations of this new title is the completely re-designed damage model, and in particular the true-to-reality reproduction of the vehicle physics in collisions.
Spectacular loops, flying sparks, torn off body parts and tires flying around are just a little taster of what the powerful engine is capable of. Improper handling of the HP-strong engine of the car might cause lasting damage. Man and machine stretching their limits as well as the extreme challenges on the circuits make power units go up in smoke and flames every once in a while.
Racing fans have the opportunity to see for themselves on the official GTR 2 website www.gtr-game.com.
