This is a trip report from February 2020, before the global lockdowns began.

BMW has shown a lot of interest in sim-racing lately, with its biggest commitment coming in the form of a special partnership with Fanatec that lets you go sim-racing with an actual M4 GT3 steering wheel.

Since Gran Turismo 7 was first revealed back in June of 2020, its release date has remained a slightly confusing mystery.

For players in seven countries — the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan — the age of the PlayStation 5 is upon us. Sony’s new generation console officially launched on November 12, and among GTPlanet’s users there is only one question right now: how does GT Sport play on PS5?

The latest step in the next-generation console launch push will come today, with Sony’s PlayStation 5 Showcase event.

It’s launch day for Project CARS 3, and since the review embargo lifted yesterday, the internet has been flooded with opinions on Slightly Mad Studios’ latest racing game.

It has been a roller coaster of a year for FIA Gran Turismo champion Igor Fraga.

The recent announcement of a new British Touring Cars Championship racing game has generated a lot of excitement, but there are still plenty of questions. It’s a title that isn’t coming until 2022, and naturally details are scarce.

A few weeks ago, a partnership was announced between Gran Turismo and Getty Images, one of the largest providers of visual media services in the world.

The 2020 Alienware Games have just been announced, and they offer an excellent chance for players in the United States and Canada to win a high-powered gaming PC.

Last month we announced the GTPlanet Guides, a new library of comprehensive resources about the biggest topics we cover.

The 2020 Formula 3 season finally begins in Austria this weekend, and with it comes a new chapter for Gran Turismo World Champion Igor Fraga.

Whenever a new game like Gran Turismo 7 is revealed and the “hype train” leaves the station, it’s exciting to keep up with all the news, rumors, and announcements surrounding it. That’s our speciality here on the editorial side of GTPlanet, but it can be hard — even for us! — to keep up with everything that gets released.

The next generation of gaming is just over the horizon, with both of the main players in the next-generation console market winding up the hype and anticipation. With that in mind I am excited to announce the new Gran Turismo 7 forum opens today on GTPlanet.

Over the past few weeks, we have celebrated two years of GT Sport Livery Editor competitions with a very special round dedicated to the GTPlanet community itself.

Last month, we began celebrating the second anniversary of our GT Sport Livery Editor competitions with a special GTPlanet-themed round.

Since he first began commentating on GTPlanet’s live racing streams so many years ago, Tom Brooks has become known as the “voice of Gran Turismo Sport”, and you have almost certainly seen him on the FIA Gran Turismo Championship World Tour live streams.

It might be hard to believe, but our community has hosted over 50 GT Sport Livery Editor competitions since GTPlanet user syntex123 launched the official contests two years ago.

As the world faces the increasingly grim threat of the coronavirus, a bright spot of joy popped up this weekend thanks to sim racing. Two major events were hastily organized in just a few days: Veloce Esports’ “#NotTheAusGP” and Torque Esports’ “All-Star Esports Battle”, both of which we detailed in our preview article.

It’s easy to watch the latest Gran Turismo World Tour events and forget just how far the FIA-certified championship has come.
