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.
If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.

TrackDayR Build 1.0.87.10 Adds Bike, Tracks, Time of Day, Holeshot Device
Tim Wheatley - Game News | Nov 30, 2021
0 CommentsThis new TrackDayR build is one of the largest I have seen come from this small development team and includes a feature they say has never been seen in a motorcycle videogame: A front and rear holeshot system (only available with the new GP bike). They’ve also made significant updates to the physics and braking behavior, updated Unity engine to allow NVIDIA DLSS and added a sky system that allows you to pick the time of day (from four current presets).
There are also two new tracks, SharkBay Circuit and Motor Arena Circuit and the new GP-spec “GP1000”.
