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.

Sector3 updated Raceroom this morning, reworking the GT4 car balance of power and making both the Opel Astra TCR and Vålerbanen. I don’t really know if Vålerbanen has ever been seen in sim racing before (I haven’t indexed the content in either of the DICE-developed Swedish Touring Car titles yet), but it looks like an interesting track.
