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.

Ayrton Senna tested the Penske PC-21 on December 20, 1992 after his 1993 McLaren contract negotiations stalled. He ultimately never raced it.
First seen in sim racing with ICR1 (1993).

Earlier this week iRacing released a hotfix for their latest patch, updating their Season 2 content to fix rain effects and particles that were not staying consistent between different session types.
Patch notes:
SIMULATION:
————————————————————–
Graphics
The maximum number of particle draw requests iRacing can process has been increased.
Fixed an issue where particle effects (including rain and aerospray) would completely fail to render during a Race Session if it was joined from a preceding Practice Session.
For PopcornFX, fixed an issue where empty particle layers were being needlessly processed.
CARS:
————————————————————–
GT4 Class Cars Vehicle damage on these cars is now able to be fully repaired with enough time in the pits.
– – Required repair times remain unchanged.
TCR Class Cars Vehicle damage on these cars is now able to be fully repaired with enough time in the pits.
