Alfa Romeo

The changes coming in the 2018 F1 season continue to flow, although this one will be more welcomed than others. The Alfa Romeo name returns to the sport with Sauber as the two have agreed to a technical partnership.

Every week we read loads of automotive news stories here at GTPlanet that we can’t fit into their own articles. In a new feature, we’ll be bringing you a quick round-up of things we might have otherwise missed.

It appears Assetto Corsa has a few tricks up its sleeve as an answer to this year’s sim racing competition. Speaking with RaceDepartment, Kunos’ Stefano Castillo revealed new content is on its way to the racer.

Welcome to Wednesday Want. Each week, our team will pluck a car from our thousands-strong Car Suggestions forum and give it some time in the spotlight. From the weird to the wonderful, we’ll be covering the full automotive spectrum. You can check out past Wednesday Want entries right here.

Turn 10 has revealed a chunk of classic vehicles you can expect to drive this October in Forza Motorsport 7. The list is over 50 strong and includes rides from the world’s biggest manufacturers. The post follows last week’s 167 car reveal.

While the Porsche Packs are deserving of their time in the spotlight at the moment, Kunos is seemingly never content with what is and are already planning content releases well into the next year.

As Assetto Corsa gets closer to a mainstream release, buzz around the game is expected to grow larger as time goes on. A video released on Youtube – by Kunos Simulazioni team member Aristotelis Vasilakos – aims to build around this buzz, showing off just how well AC handles (and looks) compared to reality using the bellissimo Italian combination of an Alfa Romeo 4C on the Modena Circuit.

With all of the exciting news and announcements generated from Vision Gran Turismo projects over the past few weeks, like Subaru’s VIZIV GT and GM Design’s Chaparral 2X, it might be easy to overlook one manufacturer who has apparently withdrawn from the program: Alfa Romeo.

Gran Turismo 5 and the Red Bull X1 Prototype have both been featured in the latest issue of Top Gear magazine, and the dramatic screenshot above introduces several important new cars to the game. Most notably, you’ll find the new McLaren MP4-12C, a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, the 1965 Alfa Romeo TZ2 (2009 winner of the Polyphony Digital Trophy at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance), the Lexus LF-A, and Philip Koenen’s 1970 Ford “Trans-Cammer” Mustang.
