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.
The ASR 1991 mod for rFactor 2 got a nice update today that tweaks the physics for both the league and historical versions. The mod includes all the 1991 cars and can be found at asrformula.com.

1991 Season by ASR Formula ChangeLog Version 1.1 LE and 1.2 HE– New Physics League Edition and Historic Edition by Nicola Acciarri
Please note:
The update will finally include the Historic Edition, which is real performance for each team. For this I would like to publicly thank Nicola Acciarri, who helped me with this by accepting my request for help.
In addition to minor graphical adjustments and minor general improvements, there will be 2 physics. A League Edition physics that will upgrade the basic mod package to version 1.1 LE.
This version will include all free racing teams, 2 drivers per team and a single No Tobacco skin.
The same package will also be updated on Steam Workshop.
The Historic Edition version will upgrade the basic package to the advanced 1.2 HE version.
The package will be included in the usual additional Coloni DLC.
Updating to the 1.2 HE version will include all drivers participating in the 1991 season, all skins for each GP (included in the package), customised sparks and of course different performances for each team, including of course the drivers’ RCDs (Talent).
