In recent weeks we’ve seen a gradual increase in the number of otherwise idle F1 drivers getting into the world of sim-racing. McLaren’s Lando Norris and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen were already heavily involved, but almost half the grid is now racing online of a weekend.

If you like going incredibly fast or incredibly slow, this fortnight’s set of GT Sport Time Trials will cater for you.

Players booting up their PS4s this morning will discover that the 1.57 update for GT Sport has arrived. It comes in at just over half a gigabyte, weighing in at 503MB. That’s enough to bring a little bit of new content, but the update’s main focus is on changes to Sport Mode.

The next GT Sport update is almost upon us, arriving on April 23 after a period of server maintenance.

After circumstances dictated that Polyphony Digital had to transmute the original first ten races of the 2020 FIA Season into an Exhibition Series, it’s ready to start again for real. The official 2020 FIA Online Championship season restarts this coming Saturday, April 25.

The outside world might be in all kinds of disarray, but GT Sport’s Daily Race schedule continues unhindered. This week we’ve got three more races, which include a track we haven’t seen in the rotation for a very, very long time.

If you’re furloughed or otherwise social distancing right now, there’s not a lot to do. Many of us have been shut indoors for a month or so, and every possible small job that we can do is now done. It’s probably not much surprise then that we’re all turning to our games consoles for solace.

Audi’s factory DTM drivers have launched another esports initiative, with an unusual twist. Members of the public can gain a spot on the grid each week, not by playing but by painting.

There’s another unusual vehicle mix in this new GT Sport Time Trials for the next two weeks, although thankfully a little less pricey than the previous set.

Our Double-Double-Header Online Special Event and Time Trials over the past 2 weeks have been such a hit, we’ve decided to go back for more! As self-isolation continues, it’s more important than ever to find fun things to do and different ways of having social interaction.

Polyphony Digital has taken the rather unusual step of announcing a raft of changes coming to a future game update well in advance of the update itself.

There’s another set of three GT Sport Daily Races for players to get their teeth into this week, and it’s an unusual mix which feature no road cars at all.

If you were planning on a nice evening of FIA races in GT Sport last weekend, technology seemed to have a different idea. Players around the globe reported server issues across the weekend, with Sunday’s event particularly badly hit.

You’re going to need plenty of spare cash in GT Sport to get involved in this fortnight’s Time Trials, as it’s all about rare, road-going racers from the 1960s.
