As we settle down to a first week in a long while without either FIA events or the Toyota GR Supra GT Cup, there’s a new set of GT Sport Daily Races to keep your eye in. It’s an odd set this week, with two low-speed one-makes — both previously seen combinations — and a little trip to the Spa to break things up.

After picking up his first point of the season last weekend, GT Sport World Champion Igor Fraga could have been forgiven for some optimism in Barcelona this week. Indeed in our exclusive interview, the Brazilian was looking forward to more progress and putting the memories of the first few races behind him.

The FIA World Rally Championship is the latest motorsport discipline to turn to gaming to find the next generation of racing drivers. Starting in 2021, it’s launching a program called “FIA Rally Star”, using racing games to unearth hidden talent and launch their off-road racing careers.

There’s a new set of GT Sport Time Trials starting today, with a couple of interesting challenges that might be a little unusual. You’ll need to pick your car carefully for one, and choose your line even more carefully for the other…

There’s a new update now available for F1 2020, and it brings along an interesting additional offering. It’s a DLC pack that goes by the name of “Keep Fighting Foundation DLC”, and it’s all in aid of charity.

Microsoft has officially revealed that the Xbox Series X will be on shelves this November.

There’s a good chance that the Microsoft Xbox Series S is already the worst-kept secret in gaming, but it seems to have just become even less secret somehow. Two different Twitter users have published images overnight that appear to confirm the console.

This week’s GT Sport Daily Races will feel like a bit of a time warp for long-time players. In fact not only were all three races possible right from day one of the game, but you’d have been able to race two of them in the pre-release Beta, a full three years ago now.

Brazil’s Igor Fraga, 2018 GT Sport World Champion, has finally nabbed his first point of his FIA Formula 3 career, courtesy of a fight-back and a slice of luck.

A post on the official Project CARS 3 Discord channel seems to have confirmed that Slightly Mad Studios has some post-launch support in mind for the title, including new cars and new circuits, the latter of which it apparently intends to release for no extra cost.

British luxury sports brand Bentley is offering up an unusually inexpensive brand-new car. For two-thirds the price of a Chevrolet Spark — or the same money as a Dacia Sandero, for our European readers — you can pick up a shiny, new Bentley Continental GT.

There’s another new DIRT 5 preview video out today, ahead of the game’s launch in October. This week, the clip shows off the Ice Breaker event type, marking the third week in succession that we’ve seen one of the game’s nine different types of event.

While there’s been an annual release of an official F1 game every year since 1996, F1 2020 is the 13th such game since Codemasters picked up the official licence.

Right on cue, Logitech has revealed its new console and PC racing wheel, which it calls the G923.

Although we heard some good news yesterday that the PlayStation 5 would continue to support PlayStation 4 racing wheels, it looks like Logitech has something else up its sleeve. The brand, officially called “Logitech G” as the gaming division, is due to unveil a new racing wheel tomorrow, which could be its next-gen offering for later this year.

It’s only a few short weeks until Project CARS 3 is with us and, right on cue, Slightly Mad Studios has revealed more about the car and track content coming to the game.

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has officially confirmed that third-party peripherals licensed for PlayStation 4 will continue to work on PlayStation 5.

Given the speed at which 2020 has been passing, it might be hard to believe that it’s the 31st Monday of the year. Nevertheless, a new Monday means a new set of GT Sport Daily Races, and in accordance with the recent trend for slightly left-field events, there’s an odd flavor this week.

The 2018 GT Sport world champion Igor Fraga has had another weekend to forget in FIA Formula 3, after his car broke down during the sprint race at Silverstone.

In June we announced a new initiative here at GTPlanet: the GTPlanet Guides. The Guides section of the site is resource we’ll be building up over the coming weeks and months, into a comprehensive library of about the biggest topics we cover.
