While everyone’s still digging into their early Christmas present of Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, there’s another update on its way for GT Sport.

Update: Since we posted this article, Polyphony Digital has addressed the issue with additional barriers to prevent corner-cutting. The original article is preserved below.

Early November is always a special time of year for automotive enthusiasts. It’s when car manufacturers and aftermarket equipment suppliers descend on Las Vegas to show off their wares.

Codemasters will remain the exclusive games developer of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship until 2025, according to a post on its official blog.

In recent months, Polyphony Digital has been adding a new wet weather condition variant to a number of GT Sport’s tracks. We first saw it at the World Tour event in Germany, with the wet Red Bull Ring. Since then the team has also added some dampness to Tokyo Expressway and, just last week, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps debuted with rain as standard.

The Daily Races following a new content update invariably use the cars and tracks, and so it proves again this week.

GT Sport World Tour regular Cody Latkovski has won the first ever Digital Cup at the FIA Motorsport games. Latkovski, representing Team Australia, took the win after a hard-fought race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in which the lead seemed to change on almost a corner-by-corner basis.

We’ve got quite a few Gran Turismo memorabilia collectors here on GTPlanet. It’s not just scouring eBay for examples of rare game releases, but people who’ll collect absolutely anything with a Gran Turismo logo on it.

As we suspected earlier in the year, Sony’s PlayStation 4 console has now racked up enough sales to become the second best-selling home console of all time.

Possibly the most eagerly awaited update in GT Sport’s two-year history to date has arrived. Yes, it’s Spa day, as fan-favorite track Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is now part of the game.

“More like a support race instead of the main event.” That was GTPlanet’s verdict on GRID upon its release a few short weeks ago. While the reboot of Codemasters’ beloved circuit racer retains the visceral on-track thrills you expect from the franchise, it lacks the substance to match its style.

After almost a fortnight of hard-fought competition, British gamer James Baldwin has taken the crown of World’s Fastest Gamer.

When the Bloodhound project hit the skids in 2018, we were a bit disheartened to say the least. Alongside using the latest technologies, and actually inventing more, to create a car to drive to Mach 1.35, it stood to be the most public feat of extreme engineering the world has ever seen.

Revived performance car brand De Tomaso has revealed the last piece of the puzzle in its throwback P72 supercar: the engine. When the brand revealed the car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer, it told us everything but what actually powered it up the hill there.

PC gamers have another chance to qualify for the 2019 McLaren Shadow final over the next week, with an event in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Following last week’s globe-trotting adventures in the GT Sport Daily Races, we’re off on our travels again this week. The three races take us to Japan, Germany and the USA, at various speeds.
