It’s the biggest week of the year for the video game industry: the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) kicks off in Los Angeles today with special press conferences from the largest players in the industry, namely Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.

The “Course Maker” in GT6 remains as one of the game’s last unreleased features – and the one fans are anticipating the most. We haven’t heard much about the new tool in GT6, though, which is expected to be a significant upgrade over the course maker we last saw in GT5.

In a JeuxVideo interview published last week from the Peugeot Vision GT launch event in Paris, Kazunori Yamauchi gave a direct answer when asked about the possibility of the Peugeot 208 Pikes Peak coming to the Gran Turismo series: yes.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know this is a big weekend for the world of motorsports, as the 24 Hours of Le Mans kicks off on Saturday. To help celebrate the event, Polyphony Digital has added two special new Quick Match race events to Gran Turismo 6, which feature both the old and new versions of Circuit de la Sarthe.

After several leaks, Logitech have officially announced their return to the sim-racing hardware market with the G29 and G920 steering wheels. The two models are roughly identical, though the G29 is compatible with both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, while the G920 is compatible with the Xbox One and does not include the same red adjustable dial. Both models will also be compatible with the PC.

This is it! There’s just a few days left in the final round of GT Academy 2015, and it’s proving to be one of the most challenging in the program’s history, as players wrangle the Nissan GT-R LM around a Circuit de la Sarthe invaded by cones.

A Croatian electronics retailer has published a new listing for a game called “Gran Turismo Sport” and is now accepting pre-orders. For its placeholder image, they appear to have created their own “Gran Turismo 7” graphic. (UPDATE: Shortly after this article was posted, the product listing has been removed.)

There’s been no official information or acknowledgement of Logitech’s G29 steering wheel, but two leaks over the past few weeks have all but confirmed the accessory maker’s return to the sim racing hardware market.

Since a team of Polyphony Digital employees were seen scanning the Snaefell Mountain Course last year – host of the legendary Isle of Man TT – there’s been a lot of talk about the possibility of motorcycles coming to the next installment of the Gran Turismo series.

Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi was in Paris last week for the formal unveiling of the new Peugeot Vision GT concept, offering the first chance in quite some time for members of the media to ask him questions. As would be expected, most of them were eager to get him talking about GT7.

Following hot in the heels of the news that Assetto Corsa will be coming to the PS4 and XBox One in 2016, Eurogamer Italy have interviewed Marco Massarutto from Kunos Simulazioni, the studio behind the highly praised PC sim.

As you may have heard, news of Logitech’s return to the sim racing hardware market recently hit the web, with pictures of what appeared to be the G29 Driving Force. Now, more details and a new photo of the wheel’s packaging have leaked, via a report recently published by GameReactor.

Assetto Corsa – the highly-praised PC racing simulator – is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016. The news was announced earlier today by AC’s Italian-based development team, Kunos Simulazioni, and their new publishing partner, 505 Games.

Peugeot’s Vision GT concept car was released in GT6 update 1.19 earlier this morning, and it’s quite an interesting beast, boasting an (almost) 1:1 power-to-weight ratio.

The start of June brings a fresh new GT6 update, version 1.19, available now as a 270MB download. Although it doesn’t bring any new game features, it does bring two highly anticipated cars – including one of the most intriguing new race cars to come along in quite some time.

The sim-racing hardware community is buzzing today after leaked photos and info appear to show a “Logitech G29 Driving Force” wheel prototype.

Nissan’s radical Le Mans challenger, the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, is coming to Gran Turismo 6 in just a few short weeks, when the final round of the GT Academy 2015 online qualifier kicks off on June 2, 2015, at 07:00 GMT/UTC.

Pirelli World Challenge series rookie Bryan Heitkotter is on quite a hot streak, notching his third straight GTA class win Sunday at the 2.46-mile Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Canada.
