For the past several weeks the team at Kunos Simulazioni have been riding a hot streak; the news just keeps coming without an end in sight. With Assetto Corsa’s console release imminent, it appears the team are full steam ahead leading up to its launch.

As you may have just read, GT3 celebrated an important 15 year milestone today. On July 20, 2001, the game became available in Europe following earlier roll-outs in North America and Japan. To celebrate, we’re holding a little contest, with two prizes up for grabs.

The teams over at Playground Games and Turn 10 have stayed remarkably quiet on the car list front for their upcoming open-world driving game. After the initial reveal at E3 this month, gamers have had to piece together Forza Horizon 3’s garage based on videos, pre-order info, and interviews. That changes today, as CNET has revealed the first 150 cars set for inclusion.

Although noise has gone relatively quiet on the official news front for GT Sport, new images of GT Sport’s Scapes mode have appeared thanks to WordPress blog ‘Clix GT’ (discovered on our forums by Farushi).

The team at Kunos Simulazioni continue to ride the hot streak after last week’s release of the anticipated Red Pack, bringing seven all-new Italian rides to the game, in addition to the Red Bull Ring.

Summer holidays are going to leave a big impression on Gran Turismo fans spending their vacation in Japan, as Polyphony Digital recently took to its Pit Stop blog to announce it will be hosting special GT Sport public sessions over the course of the summer. Much like the previous event in the country, these will be open to the general public.

The folks at YouTube channel SurrealCar are back at it with another video comparing Assetto Corsa with the real world. This time, the star isn’t an Audi hatchback or a carbon-tubbed Alfa Romeo, but the fearsome Lamborghini Aventador 750-4 SV. The big Italian bull arrived as part of the Red Pack earlier this week, and the video highlights how accurately the digital version replicates its physical counterpart.

Previous Mixed Reality videos recorded using iRacing featured GT3-themed gameplay where Marcel Pfister aimed to display the benefits of the Oculus Rift VR headset while tackling corners in a RUF GT3 machine. The video we are presenting today is exactly the same concept, albeit with one difference major difference: Marcel narrates this video. Listen to his thoughts on flying starts and overtaking at the Inner Loop bus stop while he navigates around Watkins Glen International, the Mecca of North American road racing.

There’s been a curious trend of vehicles showing up in Forza Motorsport 6 without notice. First was the 1966 Nissan Silvia last December, which players were able to purchase through an unusual method. Access to the car was removed in the next update, but that hasn’t stopped other cars from being discovered. The most recent car pack – titled “Turn 10 Select” – has brought with it another new ride: the Ford XY Falcon GTHO Phase III.

The day has finally come, the Red Pack is now available to PC players for Assetto Corsa. Named after Italy’s national racing color, the pack pays tribute to Italian machinery and is dominated by a certain Italian automaker more synonymous with the color than any other: Ferrari.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of super lap and drift trial challenges, featuring capable machines from virtually all walks of life.

Leading up to tomorrow’s release of the Red Pack, Kunos continues to tease the remaining cars left to be revealed. While we may have already suspected the GT3 racer to be included in tomorrow’s DLC, the team have officially confirmed that the successor to the 458 Italia GT3 will make way to the Red Pack.

Sony has recently released details regarding the package appearance of PS4 video games that will feature compatibility with the PlayStation VR headset. This information will undoubtedly help the customers purchasing the games at local retail stores.

Once you witness the level of immersion VR headsets have to offer the driving genre, the world of racing as you know it will likely change tremendously. With VR being one of the most advanced and anticipated additions to the driving genre, we’re excited about all the possibilities. We’re not alone, either: Marcel Pfister has been presenting its abilites using green-screen technology, to better convey what players will witness when they strap in. His latest video highlights one form of driving where being able to look out the side windows is of the utmost importance: drifting.

Turn 10 has just revealed the latest car pack for its 2015 sim racing title, and it’s easily one of the strangest the game has seen. As you can see in the video above, the full gamut is on display, with a new “entry-level” supercar taking pride of place in front of a collection of racing vehicles and two older road-going models. One of these – the BMW Isetta – is one of the smallest cars found in the game, while the youngest racer in the pack introduces European Racing Trucks to Forza. The full break down:

The PlayStation VR headset is going to be the newest addition to the realm of virtual reality accessories once it appears on store shelves October 13th. Prior to release, prospective buyers in the US and Canada looking to find out more about the product – including taking it on that all-important test drive – should be pleased to hear that Sony has established places to experience virtual reality for free.
