McLaren has announced Renault Sport driver Carlos Sainz Jr. as its replacement for the retiring Fernando Alonso.

BMW has sprung another leak. Once again, super-secret images that haven’t even appeared in press releases marked “Embargo” yet are turning up online.

When Polyphony Digital first announced the final format of the FIA Online Championships in 2018, we couldn’t help but notice a glaring omission. Although the entry criteria were expansive, they also excluded certain nations from the competitions.

The 1980s and 90s saw some rather strange cars hit the roads. The emphasis was on the future and it showed in nearly every radical new design. Supercars were no exception to this either. That’s why for this week’s Want we’re taking a look at two of these cars from Vector.

Ah, road trips. Being stuck in a car for hours on end, forced to listen to whatever the people in the front of the car settle on. Or shoving your headphones in and missing out on all the conversation and jokes.

Tin-top sim racers, rejoice: RaceRoom Racing Experience has gone under the knife for its latest update, and it’s brought a new touring car series with it. Say hello to the FIA World Touring Car Cup (or WTCR).

Automakers spend a ton of time and money to name their products. They often want something that conveys emotion without being offensive. It’s hard work for sure; for every Lamborghini Countach, there’s a Ford Probe. But Geely thinks it’s found a solution to this — let the internet do it.

It hasn’t even released yet, but we now know more details on the first DLC for Forza Horizon 4. Dubbed the Formula Drift Car Pack, it’ll arrive alongside the game on October 2.

The roller coaster that is the F1 2018 season continues on unabated. It began with the bombshell reveal of Daniel Ricciardo leaving Red Bull next season. Fernando Alonso has now confirmed he will be stepping away from the sport at the end of the current season.

Time is quickly winding down as we close in on the release of F1 2018. With 11 days remaining, Codemasters is keeping the hype going with the latest gameplay trailer.

Long-term GT Sport fans know what Tuesday means. It’s another update to the game’s Mileage Exchange.

What cars would you consider modern classics? That’s the question that inspires this latest GT Sport Photo Mode Competition, and we’re excited to see what the GTPlanet community comes up with.

If I had to choose one word to describe my approach to sim racing hardware, it’d have to be “minimal.” For the vast majority of my make-believe career, I’ve plugged away with nothing more than a controller. When a brief stint with iRacing forced me to use a wheel, I snagged a Driving Force GT and improvised a rig using a folding dinner table, along with a large stack of books behind the featherweight pedals to keep them from sliding.

Less than two weeks remain until F1 2018 launches. Codemasters is continuing the steady feed of info with latest developer diary, turning its attention to a hot button issue: physics.

While video games are at the forefront of Gamescom, Ford is looking to give things an automotive flair. At this year’s event, it will unveil a brand-new performance vehicle.

Turn 10 has cracked open Forza Motorsport 7 recently. In the August update, the team brought back Time Attack and gave players more drifting options. There’s a free Aston race car, too. That’s why our theme for the latest FM7 Photo Mode Competition is similarly open. But before we get to that, we’ve got another poll to attend to…

Have we really hit 20 iterations of our modern photo mode competitions? To celebrate, we’re casting a wide net this round, eschewing a theme to find the best shots out there.

Apparently 5.5 million of us have played GT Sport to date.

The countdown to Forza Horizon 4 is well underway, but that hasn’t stopped the community from uncovering hidden surprises before launch.

It’s been 18 months since we last heard about GTR 3. That silence has ended now, with word that the upcoming sim racer will be on the ground at Gamescom 2018 later this month.
