The world of sim racing rigs can be a challenging one to navigate. Products come in all shapes and sizes — and prices can easily stretch into the four digits. If you’re looking to get into a full-on chassis, but are concerned about affordability and ease of use, GranStand has an offering you won’t want to overlook.

Earlier this year, Fanatec unveiled its latest product, the CSL Elite. No, not the one we reviewed last year — a new model, featuring official support for the most popular console this generation, the PlayStation 4.

During last year’s E3, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Design Lab, the Redmond team’s online customization tool for Xbox One controllers. At this year’s event, Microsoft announced an expansion to the program, giving users even more customization options.

Thrustmaster and Sparco have announced a new partnership between the two brands. The agreement will see Thrustmaster supplying licensed Sparco products to complement its own game controllers.

During its E3 2017 program, Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed an impressive sales success for the PlayStation 4.

Thrustmaster has revealed its much-anticipated Gran Turismo Sport tie-in T-GT racing wheel this year’s E3.

Originally announced during last year’s gaming event, Microsoft has finally revealed the name of Project Scorpio. Meet the new Xbox One X.

Thrustmaster has revealed the name of its upcoming wheel ahead of E3 and it goes by the name of “T-GT”. Originally teased on the Thrustmaster Facebook page, the name of the new peripheral disproves prior listings of the “T700”.

With only a few days remaining until E3, Microsoft has revealed Project Scorpio will offer additional memory to game developers. Xbox chief Mike Ybarra took to Twitter, announcing that developers can access an additional 1GB of RAM for games. For those keeping count, that bumps the total up to 9GB.

At Gran Turismo Sport’s blowout event back in May of 2016, a mysterious Thrustmaster-branded wheel sat in a glass case. In May of this year, numerous retailers began putting up listings for the supposed Thrustmaster “T700.” We still don’t have the full details about this wheel, but the peripheral maker has thrown us a bone or two over the past few days.

Shortly after revealing its new PS4 wheel offering, Fanatec has dropped some new information on the team’s upcoming direct drive steering wheel.

After a cryptic initial teaser, Fanatec has revealed its first officially licensed PlayStation 4 accessory. Here it is: the CSL Elite.

SimXperience has announced the second generation of its highly-realistic racing wheel, the AccuForce Pro V2. The company is also giving five lucky people the chance to try it out!

British simulator manufacturer Vesaro, known for its high-end offerings, has revealed a new range of products developed in collaboration with McLaren.

A listing for an ultra-rare PlayStation 1 on eBay is sure to pique long-time Formula 1 fans’ interest.

A new Thrustmaster peripheral has started to appear on various European online retailers. Product pages for the Thrustmaster “T700” and “T700 GT Edition” have been popping up online, and the correlation of price and product names between the pages suggest this is no mistake.

Jeff Gordon — the man who coached players through Gran Turismo 5’s NASCAR School and is seen as one of the greatest racers in the sport — has learned what the big deal is about racing simulators.

Getting into a sim racing is a commitment, one many people understandably have a hard time making because of the cost involved. Sure, you can play with a controller, but the full experience — and often the fastest times — belong to those who shell out big bucks for the best gear.

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.

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.
