We’re inching closer to the return of a classic rally franchise with V-Rally 4. The game will touch down in the first week of September (or the last, on PC) and now we’ve got a look at its entire vehicle roster.

Another open-wheeler could be coming to the Gran Turismo series in the future. No, not a modern Formula One machine, but a 51-year old Indy 500 competitor driven by motorsports royalty.

Canada’s favorite word is “sorry”. It’s so pervasive we literally have a law on the books that uttering it isn’t an admission of guilt. But you wouldn’t know it at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park — or more affectionately, simply Mosport, its original name. No, here, about an hour outside of Toronto, one word rises up above the trees:

Jeff was right. Damnit.

Well that’s a bombshell. Amazon has announced fans of The Grand Tour will soon be able to relive their favorite parts of the show in digital form.

Gamescom opens its doors to the media tomorrow, August 21. While it doesn’t offer quite the mountain of racing titles as last year’s show, there’s certainly some quality pickings here. Plus, this year’s crop of racers covers a wide spectrum, from sim to arcade, and even Nintendo’s Switch.

This weekend saw the extended Le Mans Super Season hit Silverstone. To coincide with the six-hour race, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) officially kicked off its inaugural Le Mans Esport Series.

We had our suspicions, but now it’s confirmed. Just as Forza Horizon 4 is set to touch down in the autumn, one of its predecessors will reach End-Of-Life status.

(EDITOR NOTE: This interview has been slightly edited for clarity.)

The team at Thrustmaster has confirmed the September launch of its TSS Handbrake for consoles. Joining it is a surprise item, and it will be available this coming Monday.

With Gamescom less than a week away, the announcements are coming thick and fast. The latest comes from Microïds and Eden Games, with the news that Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is coming to Nintendo’s Switch before the year is out.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not to be outdone by rival — and one-time-BFF — McLaren, Mercedes-AMG has announced its own complete F1 Esports squad. It’s even got one more driver.

McLaren Shadow has announced two new additions to its 2018 F1 Esports squad. While they’re new to the team — itself only a few weeks old — they’re both veterans of the sim racing world.

The racing game calendar just got a little more packed. Kylotonn Racing has announced the release date for V-Rally 4, with the first new franchise installment in over a decade touching down in less than a month.
