The Stanceworks Track Expansion is now available for Project CARS in a continual effort by Slightly Mad Studios to keep the WMD-powered game feeling new with monthly content.

By following in the footsteps of the 1.03 patch and last November’s update, Codemasters continues to offer extensive fixes for its leading F1 title. This time the improvements are oriented mostly towards Xbox One owners, with limited focus towards PlayStation 4 ones. One particular upgrade that we would like to stress is the corner cutting rule – it has been adjusted on both consoles. The list of all the fixes is as follows:

We all love racing games; it’s the reason we’re all here. Whether it be waiting for the coveted Assetto Corsa, cheering a professional team, or putting our own spin on things, it’s a genre we know and love for better or worse. And it is a genre is need of a reboot.

After 18 rounds of grueling high-intensity racing, the SMS-R Driver Network Championship has come to a close. Sim racers battled it out across the various disciplines that Project CARS has to offer, on some of the world’s greatest race-tracks, to fight for a generous prize package that included:

Taken from the cluster of ingenious Fantasy tracks, the Nimble Beat Circuit made by GTP member watermelon punch occupied our attention this week, by offering its entertaining flow of blind and variously elevated S-turns. If you’ve recently considered taking out some of your favourite hot-hatches or Kei micro-machines for a spin, this could be a reason to do it.

New seasonal events are now available in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are an ensemble of challenge events featuring NASCAR stock cars, race cars, tuner cars, and non-race cars.

Your eyes do not deceive you. Parked up there, in all its light-green splendor, is the Pontiac Aztek. The chariot forever intertwined with one of the most interesting characters on TV in the last decade, Breaking Bad’s Walter White. Now, imagine it racing.

Forza 6 launched in September of last year with three distinct digital flavours. The Ultimate Edition came bundled with the Car Pass: a $30 upfront cost to cover the first six months worth of Car Pack DLC’s, which are normally priced at $7 each. The four packs that are currently available – the latest being the Polo Red collection – have been received favourably, while the fifth is set to be revealed next week. Now, Top Gear magazine has revealed that the DLC program will extend at least one more month.

Earlier this month, we reported on a certain upcoming Hot Wheels set, that could possibly shed some light on GT Sport’s roster of vehicles. Today we have more information on the pack, including a surprise addition.

The 8.0 Update is now available to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners, and is just in time to prepare the game for next car pack set to arrive this Friday, January 29th.

In December 2015, Polyphony updated their website, including profiles on some of the personnel. These interviews shed some light on the people behind the scenes that make Gran Turismo what it is. We offer them here in translated form, which wouldn’t be possible without the generous efforts of community member Imari.

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 the official release of the upcoming Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo rallying simulator just around the corner, Milestone has stoked the anticipation by releasing the newest demo version for PC owners. Weighing 4 gigabytes, the demo allows players to drive on a 5.9km long Monte Carlo course using one of the three available cars:

Earlier this week, Team Redline talked with us about the exciting future of eSports and sim racing. The team has countless achievements to their name, stretching as far back as Grand Prix Legends, right up to present day iRacing championships. Today, we’re happy to be a part of the unveiling of their dedicated Gran Turismo team. Team principle Dom Duhan starts things off, while the new lineup collectively answered the rest of our questions.

We’re a little late this week, but here it is: another custom track to add to your collection, courtesy of the Track Database here at GTPlanet. It’s a bit different than most of the others we’ve picked over the past few months…

PC owners of the highly praised racing simulator can now enjoy benefits of the new 8.0 update from Slightly Mad Studios. The new update responds to several technical bugs and introduces few updates, of which we highlight the new support for Oculus Rift users and improved regulation of heating on under-inflated tires. The full list of fixes is as follows:

Console players eager to drive one of PC’s most praised driving simulators won’t have to wait much longer, with developer Kunos unveiling a 22nd April release date. Assetto Corsa will bring an iconic laser-scanned track roster and over 90 cars to the next-generation racing table, alongside an advanced physics engine which will push drivers to their limit with a level of simulation not matched by many in the racing genre.
