After initially teasing it last month, CEO Ian Bell has divulged further hints about Slightly Mad Studios’ new unannounced franchise.

Turn 10 Creative Director Dan Greenawalt has joined forces with the Xbox Design Lab to create his ideal motorsport-flavored Xbox One controller.

Assetto Corsa console players are going to need to exercise just a little bit more patience. The upcoming update for the title has fallen prey to various submission blocking issues, according to the official Facebook page.

Following up from the comparison to the original Project CARS, we now have some more footage directly looking at how GT Sport compares to its predecessor, Gran Turismo 6.

The achievement and trophy list for upcoming rally racer DiRT 4 has been released to the public this week. Codemasters has shown off the type of events and challenges that will put players to the test when the game launches on June 9. The list seems to be a good mix of career-based tasks and general driving tests whilst containing some entertaining names to boot.

Recent developments in the automotive industry have pointed toward self-driving cars being closer than we might expect. Firms like Alphabet (the parent company of Google) and Apple are leading the way in autonomous car investment.

One of the most promising features of DiRT 4 is the Your Stage feature, an in-depth track creation tool that players will be able to take advantage of. Codemasters has used the latest iteration of its “Road Book” blog series to tackle this topic and why the team is confident that the tool can deliver worthwhile rally tracks.

It’s no secret that Thrustmaster very much has a stronghold on the Playstation side of the sim racing market. Despite a few offerings elsewhere, the company has done well with its Sony-compatible products that include entry level wheels like the T150 series and high end products like the upcoming GT Sport wheel.

There’s been a ton of really good fictional tracks throughout the racing genre. Often memories of our favorite circuits are intertwined with our favorite games too. There’s no way this is simply a coincidence.

Information regarding Project CARS 2 has been coming thick and fast since the game’s formal reveal.

Last month, GTPlanet had an exclusive look at Thrustmaster’s official Gran Turismo Sport wheel, thanks to an anonymous tipster. The peripheral looks to be the definitive way to experience GT Sport when it releases and thanks to a well-spotted detail on the wheel by a Twitter user, it looks like it will host a very unique advantage over other wheels.

After years of wanting and waiting for Porsche to make its way over to the Gran Turismo franchise, it has been confirmed that, yes, the German manufacturer will feature in this year’s Gran Turismo Sport.

Looking forward to the driving in DiRT 4 but still want further details on the features the game will have when it launches in June? PlayStation Access got the chance to go hands-on with the title last week, and has released another video detailing the top eight reasons it believes DiRT 4 provides a full experience outside of the actual racing.

Microsoft has finally lifted the lid on its latest Xbox One model, with Project Scorpio having all sorts of technical specs being revealed to the public eye. Whilst it doesn’t have an official name, price or aesthetic look, the type of power the console will be capable of in relation to its fellow hardware seem nothing short of staggering.

With a car and track list as good as Project CARS 2’s is shaping up to be, it’s looking like the online community in the title will have a lot content to race with. The latest reveals have included a brace of Nissan GT-Rs, as well as the relatively new Circuit of The Americas.

With the launch of iRacing’s dirt-racing expansion just a few days away, the team has put together a launch trailer showing off all the content that will be available for the subscription-based racer. Players will be able to experience the “World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series” when the update arrives on March 29. If this trailer is anything to go on, the quality looks to be on par with the regular track-based racing iRacing fans are more familiar with.

A true SEGA arcade classic is now available to play on Xbox One, as Daytona USA joins the console’s backwards compatibility list. The re-release that was initially launched on the Xbox 360 back in 2011 joins the ever growing list of last generation titles to be playable on the latest Microsoft console.

On the road to DiRT 4′s June release, the official Codemasters blog has had a weekly review of the various features and gameplay elements players can expect when the game is in their hands. First we had a look at the innovative “Your Stage” track creator and then the “Landrush” gameplay mode. This time around, a core element of the title’s career mode has been tackled, as we get a look at the in-depth team management we’ll be able to tackle in the rally racer.

The PlayStation Now service hasn’t quite set the world alight since its Summer 2015 release. Despite offering nearly 500 titles from the PlayStation 3, the level of quality in both the library itself and the streaming technology has held the service back in the eyes of some gamers.

In the market for a racing seat and still can’t get enough of Codemasters’ DiRT Rally? Sparco Gaming and Codemasters have teamed up to create this lavish (and very loud!) racing office chair, suitable for even the most avid sim racer.
