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.

The TrackDayR developers have released a new major build for their software, along with a couple of hotfixes, that In this update brings “pro” and “newbie” modes. Pro mode has no lean limit, so you can attempt (and probably fail) to be Marc Marques, while Newbie mode has the features you had prior to Pro introduction. A new crash model is also implemented, allowing lowsides, front lock, loss of the rear wheel and highsides.
New content is also available in the form of motocross track ‘Israel Sand Track’.
You will need to reset default controller options in Options > Controls > Restore Defaults.
