In a surprise move, iRacing released a new trailer announcing the addition of two LMP1 cars en route to the acclaimed racer.

As gearheads, the roar of an engine is often music to our ears. We love everything from the whine of a high-strung I4 to the bellow of a meaty V10. Thankfully, Audi shares our sentiment and rolled out a musical rendition to some famous classic TV shows for the Emmy Awards.

Audi’s in-house performance division Audi Sport GmbH has raised the cloak of the new RS4 Avant at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Audi is synonymous with its Quattro all-wheel-drive system, with the flagship R8 supercar sitting at the top of the tree.

It’s safe to say that the major German manufacturers have some of the most confusing badges in the world.

Scroll back to 20 years ago and the concept of a supercar coming from anywhere other than a niche manufacturer from Italy or maybe the UK was ridiculous. Audi clearly had different ideas, and we’ve been out driving the new generation of its R8 to see how it has done second time around.

It’s nearly two years since the Dieselgate scandal first broke, but it shows little sign of slowing down.

If you’re worried that your 600hp, V10 supercar isn’t quite as conspicuous as you were hoping, Audi has the solution for you. The marque is soon to release a selection of retrofit goodies for its R8 and TT ranges, under the “Audi Sports Performance Parts” brand.

FIA’s Formula E championship is due to bring in some big names over the next two years, as Audi and BMW join the ranks. The German manufacturers broke earlier this week.

Audi has revealed the latest generation of its luxury executive car, the A8, at the Audi Summit event in Barcelona.

You know the story by now: last month the Ready To Race car pack made its way to Assetto Corsa. Included were 10 brand-new vehicles ranging from a “budget” supercar to two hardcore Le Mans prototypes. Throughout the week we’ve put seven of the ten vehicles through their paces. At last, it’s time to bring the series to a close with the final three — the extreme three.

Earlier this week we celebrated Assetto Corsa’s Ready To Race car pack by breaking in four of the included cars. We’re picking up where we left off with three new vehicles, all with something to prove. However, it’s worth acknowledging that the liveries featured are not standard fare with the car pack.

Early last month Kunos released the Ready To Race car pack for Assetto Corsa. The pack brings 10 all-new vehicles to the game, with PC players being the first to sample the new content.

Attendees at the 24 Hours Nürburgring will get a chance to try a brand new version of Gran Turismo Sport, starting today.

We haven’t forgotten about Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, the latest free-to-play release of the Forza series and the first one built for the Windows 10 platform. Although it doesn’t feature the traditional hallmarks of the console-released titles in the franchise (online multiplayer, wheel support and livery editor), with 63 cars and approximately 20 variations of 6 playable circuits, the game still offers a tease of what’s to come, as future Forza titles will be released on Xbox One and PC simultaneously.

The emotional investment toward Assetto Corsa now that we’re just over a month away from the console release is almost palpable, and with good reason: console-goers have plenty to look forward as many of those currently enjoying the game on PC will surely attest.

Partnerships between automotive manufacturers and video-game companies are nothing new –Gran Turismo’s own Vision GT programme is built around the relationships that can be forged through collaborations.

Kunos Simulazioni have revealed on the offiicial Assetto Corsa Facebook page that new content is on the way to the game. That content, pictured above, is the Audi R8 V10 Plus and unlike its GT3 class brethren that was introduced in last month’s Dream Pack 2 expansion, the R8 V10 Plus will be made available to everyone as free bonus content.
