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.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.

Run 3DConfig in Win98/Me compatibility mode to create a config.ini, then run the F1C exe in Win98/Me compatibility so it can use that config.ini. You do not need to edit the INI file at all using this method, just use the config tool to set resolution, etc.
I do recommend setting anisotropic filtering to 16x (if your system can run it) and antialiasing to 8x (again, if your system can) in a video card profile, not in the sim, as it will greatly improve the visuals in the low resolutions available.
