All eyes have been on its free-roaming British sibling, but Forza Motorsport 7 continues to evolve. The latest update for the game landed yesterday, and it brought with it a relic of automotive history: Merkur.

Debuting on the busy Paris Motor Show floor, VinFast is the newest automaker to burst onto the scene, with some help from David Beckham. But it’s not the cars or even the legendary footballer making waves, however — it’s where the company hails from.

When it comes to doing things a little different under the hood, Mazda has a bit of history.

Welcome to Mirror Mode, GTPlanet’s series that shines a spotlight on retro racing games. To commemorate the release of Forza Horizon 4, we’re revisiting another popular racer from Xbox’s past. 

20-year-old Patrick Blazsán will get his first visit to Japan later this year after winning the inaugural Nissan GT Sport Cup last weekend.

It’s 4AM, and like a kid on Christmas morning, the anticipation for what the day has in store is stopping me from sleeping any longer.

It’s all-change in the Mileage Exchange this week. Keeping with the traditional schedule, Polyphony Digital has shuffled the deck, bringing back cars, paints and other items for personalizing your GT Sport experience.

If you’re a VIP with the need for absolute protection, then we have a vehicle for you. Thanks to German custom vehicle maker Klassen, the world now has a bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan limo.

There’s a new vehicle joining the Skoda vRS range. Getting its first public showing at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, the Kodiaq will now find a place in the company’s performance line. It also signals a few firsts for the brand as well.

Some car makers are busily making headlining F1 cars for the road. There’s the outlandish Aston Martin Valkyrie for example, and the F1-powered Mercedes-AMG ONE. Infiniti meanwhile is quietly getting on with the business of making F1 tech work on existing road cars.

One of the best racing games to touch down this year is enjoying a massive discount barely over a month after launch. But you’ll have to act fast.

When we sat down with Ralph Fulton in mid-September, we knew the launch of Forza Horizon 4 was only the beginning for the game. Now in a recent tweet from Fulton, we now know when the first major update will arrive.

The retro designs just keep on coming. This latest comes courtesy of Peugeot, in what’s quickly becoming a long line of throwbacks that will roll out at the Paris Motor Show.

When the announcement dropped for Forza Horizon 4 we found out we could buy houses. Now that the early access is underway for Ultimate Edition owners, gamers are looking to ramp up their real estate portfolio.

If you’ve ever wanted to live out your Mario Kart fantasy it’s about to get harder.

Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo… whatever we play, we’re all gamers. Even the “PC master race”.

The latest open-world Forza adventure has begun. Owners of the Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition can now begin their four-day head-start over the general population.

Patriotism. We’re sure everyone here is a patriot to some extent. Our newest competition focuses on nations, and as Matt says, it was inspired by the Nations Cup in the Gran Turismo World Tour event last weekend. But before you dive in:

Retro race cars are quickly becoming a hot trend. First Infiniti debuted the Prototype 10 in August, then just last week we saw the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2. Now Porsche is back with its own throwback design, the Porsche 935.

The launch of Forza Horizon 4 is fast approaching. Early access for Ultimate Edition owners begins in just a matter of hours — it’sactually just started in the UK itself — and we’re excited to see the best of Playground Games’ new sandbox racer.
