Two years ago, I watched a game of basketball. It got me thinking: wouldn’t it be great to see racing teams compete head-to-head against one another, just like teams do in other sports?

Autumn has taken a hold of the UK once again in Forza Horizon 4. Players will be keen to get their hands on the latest new and returning content this week.

It’s the sort of story we’ve heard before, yet we’ll never get tired of. An established sim racer will be moving up in the world of real motorsport this weekend. In this case, its Toro Rosso Esports F1 driver Cem Bolukbasi.

It seems like only yesterday that Chevrolet revealed its new, mid-engined Corvette. The “C8” generation (that’s shorthand for Corvette, eighth-generation) of Corvette became the first in the brand’s history to have the engine not only fully behind the front axle, but behind the driver too.

Right on schedule following its reveal earlier this week, the latest version of Gran Turismo Sport is now available. A chonky update at 1.2GB, it may not introduce new cars or tracks, but it represents a step-change for the title nonetheless.

Exactly one year ago, Playground Games unleashed Forza Horizon 4. The third iteration of the franchise this generation, FH4 took players to a Greatest Hits version of Britain, complete with four seasons.

It’s during a heated battle at Zhejiang that I truly learn the reach of GRID’s Nemesis system. I have some time to really consider it too, since I’m currently wedged into the wall lining the main straight.

On this day in 2009, the Gran Turismo franchise officially made its first foray onto something other than Sony’s home console.

It’s barely a week since the last GT Sport update, but there’s another on its way.

The world of motor racing esports has got one championship larger over the weekend, with a new national competition in Japan. It goes by the name of Japan Esports GT Grand Prix — or JeGT Grand Prix for short — and it aims to unify esports and motorsport, to “revitalize” both industries in the nation.

We get to try out some of GT Sport’s new content in this week’s Daily Races, with a new car in one race and a new (ish) track in another.

There’s a new way to play Codemaster’s DiRT Rally 2.0. No, we’re not talking about VR — that’s available on PC — but through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

One of the most iconic race tracks of all time is now available for the rFactor 2 crowd. Yes, the Nurburgring has arrived on the PC sim.

The release of Codemasters’ reboot of GRID is fast approaching, and players are keen to know which of their peripherals will be supported.

We’re only two weeks away now from GRID’s amended launch date of October 11. The game, a reboot of the GRID (or Race Driver: GRID, if you prefer) series will land on PS4, XBOne, and PC in two Fridays’ time, with a couple of days’ early access for Ultimate Edition owners.

Nearly two years after its original launch, a new version of GT Sport becomes available from next Friday.
