GTPlanet Lists

Last week, the FIA announced that the unsightly Halo protection device will be on every Formula One car starting next year. While it may improve safety, it’s not the best looking piece of kit. So we thought we’d take a look back at other “innovations” that didn’t really add to the glamour of F1.

Forza Motorsport 7 features the largest collection of cars in the genre this generation. With over 700 options, ranging from pre-war open-wheelers to 2017’s Le Mans winner, it offers unparalleled variety. That’s a lot to keep track of though — so we’re here to help.

Since the release of Gran Turismo Sport in October of 2017 (marked by an epic launch party in Modena, Italy) we’ve learned there will be a regular stream of new cars making their way to the game. To help keep you informed, GTPlanet maintains this always-up-to-date list of each make and model currently in Sport.

What do you call the person that graduated at the bottom of their class in medical school? The answer is deceptively simple: doctor.

Boasting more than 180 vehicles spread across over two dozen categories, Project CARS 2 is shaping up to be quite the adventure for racing fans.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the largest motoring events on the calendar. Combining a motor show with a race weekend, the meeting attracts around 200,000 visitors each year.

It sort of snuck up on us — we’ve been a little busy with a massive project, you see — but E3 2017 is nearly here. As we predicted back in January, this year looks like one of the busiest yet for our favorite genre. So what are we most looking forward to when the doors open in California next week? Well, we’ve got a list for that, in no particular order.

Earlier this month, Forza Horizon 3 saw its sixth car pack arrive, bringing an end to packs covered by the Car Pass. Within the Duracell Car Pack were two cars last seen in the Xbox 360 era: the BMW 507 and Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution.

Gran Turismo Sport is set to launch later this year, and will represent the biggest change to the series since its inception. Gone is the four-digit car roster, with a smaller, class-focused approach made up of “Super Premium” cars built for the PlayStation 4.

Now that we’re all suitably re-hydrated from New Years celebrations, it’s time to look forward: this year is going to be great. 2016 wasn’t bad by any means — you can read all about it in our Year In Review — but we truly believe 2017 will be looked at as a high-water mark for the sim racing genre.

According to a very pushy guy in a red suit at the mall, it’s the holiday season. One of the hardest things at this time of year — other than fighting off the endless waves of sweets — is buying gifts. Maybe you’ve got a fellow racing game fan that needs something new, or maybe your family and friends don’t have a clue what to buy you. Either way we’re here to help, collaborating with GT Channel to provide you with the best racing games on offer this year, in an easily-digestible short video.

Earlier this week, the Forza Horizon 3 demo drifted onto the Xbox One with a teaser of the acclaimed series’ third installment. Like many of you, we at GTPlanet have taken the preview for a spin (or two, or three) and, now that we have our breath back, we would like to share the five features we are most looking forward to upon the Sept. 27 worldwide launch on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

Assetto Corsa is arriving on consoles in two days. Some lucky individuals have already found copies in stores, while we here at GTPlanet are just beginning to get our feet wet with a pre-release copy of our own. Chatter about the game has hit a fever pitch in the staff room, so we’ve collected a small list of the five things we’re most looking forward to in Assetto Corsa’s console version. Much like the similar article for F1 2016 last week, this is in no particular order.

F1 2016 is a mere day away from launch. Codemasters’ latest iteration in their long-running franchise promises the return of features in previous games, whilst bringing in some new additions. Here at GTPlanet, Micheal Leary (you’ll probably know him as Terronium-12) and I have bashed our heads together and listed the top 5 features we can’t wait to try out when the game releases. These are listed in no particular order.
