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.

It was announced today that New Star GP will be released to Steam’s Early Access on August 8, 2023. You can wishlist here.
They also released some footage showing off their modified Monaco layout named Cote D’Azur which looks like a decent and easy to race layout that retains the feel of the real track for the arcade racing crowd. As with the previous footage they have showcased I do have some concerns about the AI and I am hoping that will get some significant updates during Early Access.
