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.
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.
After exactly two years in their service, iRacing have moved the Porsche 911 GT3 R to legacy status which means it won’t be included in their official series. Let’s hope that licensing doesn’t eventually expire and force us to lose access to it entirely. Read my recent article about the problems with licensing.
The car will be replaced by the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992).
