McLaren Automotive has revealed what might be the most extreme car it has ever made. Resurrecting a famous name from its past, the McLaren Elva is an 800hp roadster that’s quicker than the McLaren Senna, but it has no windows, windshield or roof.

The World Final for the 2019 FIA Online Championship might be just around the corner, but your chance to qualify for next year has already started.

If London-based racing game developer Slightly Mad Studios (SMS) didn’t already have enough on its hands at the moment, it’s also apparently working on something ‘enormous’.

A quarter of a century. That’s how long Need for Speed has been part of the gaming landscape. In fact the original game — The Need for Speed — predates the PlayStation itself by three months, and initially launched on the 3DO console. If you remember that, you’re showing your age.

It’s out with the new and in with the old this week, as the Daily Races return to some fan favorites from weeks past.

The recent Tokyo World Tour event for GT Sport had a significant part dedicated to the newest entry in the Vision Gran Turismo project. Jaguar’s design is the first we’ve seen since the Audi Vision GT in 2018, and marks the 28th vehicle in the unique project.

Early November is always a special time of year for automotive enthusiasts. It’s when car manufacturers and aftermarket equipment suppliers descend on Las Vegas to show off their wares.

In recent months, Polyphony Digital has been adding a new wet weather condition variant to a number of GT Sport’s tracks. We first saw it at the World Tour event in Germany, with the wet Red Bull Ring. Since then the team has also added some dampness to Tokyo Expressway and, just last week, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps debuted with rain as standard.

The Daily Races following a new content update invariably use the cars and tracks, and so it proves again this week.

GT Sport World Tour regular Cody Latkovski has won the first ever Digital Cup at the FIA Motorsport games. Latkovski, representing Team Australia, took the win after a hard-fought race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in which the lead seemed to change on almost a corner-by-corner basis.
