Formula One has confirmed that Netflix has renewed documentary series F1: Drive to Survive for a second season.

In F1, every second — or, for that matter, every hundredth of a second — counts. Teams spend tens of millions researching new components and new ways of directing air flow to gain a few yards on the track. It’s the difference between pole position and third on the grid on a Saturday, and that can decide the race the next day.

The reigning GT Sport and McLaren Shadow World Champion, Igor Fraga, took his maiden Formula Regional European Championship (FREC) win this weekend.

If you want to experience the most challenging racing around, you need to leave the race track behind. We don’t mean taking to the skies, but getting away from the safety and sterility of the millpond smooth asphalt, catch fencing and gravel traps of circuit and street racing.

In what can only be described as a titanic effort, Team GTPlanet x Hooncorp finished the 2019 24 Hours Of Lemons New Zealand! Not only that, but we finished 22nd despite starting dead last, suffering a high speed crash, and battling some much faster cars.

After 13 months of racing, the showpiece end to the 2018-19 FIA World Endurance Championship is upon us: the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Aston Martin has become the first manufacturer to reveal its Le Mans “hypercar”, under the new rules for 2020-2021.

The 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans is likely to mark an end for many programs. It’ll be the last race of the 2018-19 FIA World Endurance Championship “super-season”, and with a significant rule change coming for 2020 it may be the last we see of some cars.

With the 2019 ADAC Total Nurburgring 24 Hours (and the GT Sport World Tour event) just five weeks away, preparations are well underway. This past weekend saw the six-hour qualification race for the main event, and it yielded a victor that will be familiar to racing game fans.

After months of rumors, Formula One has confirmed that Circuit Zandvoort will return to the season calendar next year.

Making idle bets on Twitter is never a good idea. This is something that Busch Beer — the official beer of NASCAR (because that’s a thing) — forgot when it laid down a marker last November.

Fans looking to watch live coverage of the 2019 Autobacs Super GT season will have to wait no more.

If the recent slew of Super Formula content in GT Sport has got your attention, then there’s some good news from Japan.

Another esport driver has made the jump to real-world competition. This past weekend, two-time Formula 1 Esports champion Brendon Leigh completed a trio of Formula Ford races at England’s Snetterton circuit.

Busy times here at the Hooncorp HQ! With three weeks to go until the famed 24 Hours of Lemons NZ, we can now announce the lineup of drivers who will be racing under the Hooncorp x GTPlanet banner.

This May, the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 will see a familiar name back at the Brickyard.

Fangio and Maserati. Clark and Lotus. Senna and McLaren. Certain pairings of names are famous in Formula One, with one modern duo standing out: Schumacher and Ferrari. And come next week, we’ll see them together again.

Brazil’s Igor Fraga is going to have a busy schedule this year. Not only will he be defending his title in the 2019 FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Championship, he’ll be duking it out on track in a full-blown open-wheel race car.

There’s another change coming to the Formula 1 rules for 2019, but this time it’s all about scoring points.

Precious few people have even got the chance to drive the new Toyota Supra road car yet, but already there’s three race car versions. Next week at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Toyota will add a fourth: the GR Supra GT4 Concept.
