Image Space Incorporated took the experience from isiMotor2 and rFactor Pro and began the development of rFactor 2. isiMotor2 also laid the foundation for rFactor Pro, a software simulation engine used by real life racing teams and car manufacturers including most of the current Formula One grid and NASCAR manufacturers. IsiMotor2 was further licensed to companies such as Slightly Mad Studios, Reiza Studios and 2Pez Games. rFactor went on to become the preferred racing simulation platform for nearly a decade, with a plethora of community created content. This title became rFactor which was the first ISI release using the software engine referred to as isiMotor2. Image Space Incorporated then decided to make a racing simulator with an open architecture and provided tools for the modding community to create third party content. isiMotor is an umbrella term that covers every component of the software engine, for example the graphics engine gMotor, the physics engine pMotor, and so on.Īfter the release of F1 Challenge '99-'02, isiMotor was licensed to another company for the first time, SimBin, who went on to produce popular retail sim racing titles based on Image Space Incorporated's engine, including GTR and GTR 2.
