RSC contains a database of 153 developers, 468 software titles, 374 cars, 42 bikes, 242 tracks and more...Originally working in military simulator design, this Michigan-based studio developed Zone Raiders for Virgin Interactive before moving to Electronic Arts for publishing their second PC title, Sports Car GT, when Westwood Studios (their SCGT development partner) was acquired by the software giant.
Known primarily for their mod-friendly SCGT and rFactor racing platforms, ISI also developed Formula One and NASCAR titles on PC for Electronic Arts, but perhaps their lasting contribution to the genre was the licensing of the isiMotor engine that allowed studios such as 2Pez, Blimey! Games, KW Studios, Motorsport Games, Reiza Studios, SIMBIN Studios, Slightly Mad Studios, The Sim Factory, Tiburon and rFactor 2‘s ongoing developer Studio 397 to begin with or release on an evolution of their software.
Another fork of the isiMotor engine, rFpro, continues to be developed and is used by a wide array of automotive companies for both road and motorsport simulation.

iRacing today announced they will bring Brazil’s Stock Car Pro Series to their service in 2022. This will add the Stock Car Pro Series Chevrolet Cruze and Toyota Corolla to iRacing that are currently only in Reiza Studios’ Stock Car and Automobilista products.
Brazil’s premier stock car racing circuit was introduced in 1979, and celebrates its 43rd season in 2021. Many of the country’s all-time great racers, including Formula 1 and IndyCar race winners, have spent time in the series over the years; current full-time drivers include F1 veterans Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa, Nelson Piquet Jr., and Ricardo Zonta, as well as IndyCar and Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan.
The Chevrolet Cruze is the ninth Chevrolet model used in the history of Stock Car Brasil, as Chevrolets have competed in the championship every year since its inception. Drivers have taken the Cruze to each of the last four series titles, with Daniel Serra winning from 2017-19 and Ricardo Mauricio taking his third career title in 2020. The Toyota Corolla made its debut in the series in 2020 as Toyota’s first entry into the championship, and won on its debut with Zonta behind the wheel.
iR is a subscription-based online service that allows sim racers to race a variation of cars and tracks from all around the world.
