Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
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.

iRacing today announced that their 2021 Season 2 build had another update, this time a hotfix for their previous changes.
Here is the full changelog:
iRACING UI:
General
– Improvements have been made to the iRacing UI window behavior.
– – This should improve the behaviors for resizing, maximizing, un-maximizing, and remembering the window positions. This also fixes an issue where the mouse position could appear slightly offset from the actual window.
SIMULATION:
Race Control
– Fixed an issue with the early release of missed-start vehicles in multi-class sessions when a pack of vehicles was more than 20 seconds behind the leading pack.
Hybrid Vehicles
– Fixed a crash-to-desktop issue that could occur when a hybrid vehicle attempted to transition from a Practice Session to a Race Session.
Audio
– Ambient crowd audio should now be less repetitive.
– – Everyone has found new topics to discuss!
Controls
– Logitech TrueForce support has been temporarily disabled by default.
– – The latest G-HUB version (2021.2.7359) has a bug that causes a lockup at Sim shutdown. This feature will be re-enabled when the issue is resolved. You may need to re-calibrate your racing wheel.
