Hi,
I found that the following files have 99.99% of torcs gl code in them:

torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/gui.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/img.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/screen.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/guibutton.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/guiedit.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/guifont.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/glfeatures.cpp
torcs/src/libs/tgfclient/guiscrollist.cpp
torcs/src/libs/confscreens/mouseconfig.cpp
torcs/src/libs/confscreens/joystickconfig.cpp
torcs/src/libs/confscreens/controlconfig.cpp
torcs/src/libs/raceengineclient/raceengine.cpp
torcs/src/libs/raceengineclient/racegl.cpp
torcs/src/libs/client/splash.cpp
torcs/src/libs/musicplayer/musicplayer.cpp

( find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -Iw gl.* )
