McLaren F1 driver — and Triple Crown hopeful — Fernando Alonso is getting into the esport game. The Spaniard has formed his own digital race team, and Gran Turismo Sport players will be some of the first to try out for the squad.

The numbers are in for the first week of 2018. With holiday sales behind us, it was another solid week for the racing genre in the UK, with multiple titles making the cut.

Kicking off the second week of 2018, we’re looking at some of the most popular cars in Project CARS 2 for this week’s photo mode competition.

The official PlayStation Blog has revealed the top downloads from its digital store front over the course of 2017. There are a lot of big names on the charts, with a notable exception: the racing game genre.

It’s a new year, and since 2011, that’s meant a Forza game arriving in the final third of the calendar. The rumor mill has already begun swirling, but it might be a bit pre-mature.

The Forza Motorsport 7 Specialty Dealer stock has shuffled again. If you’ve been keeping track over the last few weeks — and read the title — you can guess what the deal is this time around.

2017 is in the books. It was an amazing twelve months — which you can relive here — but right now, we want to look forward. This year has a lot of potential.

Forza 7 players anxious for the latest batch of new cars can rest easy. The next seven-car pack will be arriving January 16, according to community manager Brian Ekberg.

The folks at Ghost Games rang in the new year with Need for Speed Payback news. As it turns out, a fan-favorite feature is returning in the form of online free roam.

World Gaming is kicking off the new year with a special Gran Turismo Sport competition for Canadian gamers, and it’s all about Porsche.

As we get the champagne on ice in preparation for New Year’s Eve, we’re taking a look back at the frankly historic last 12 months. 2017 was a great year to be a sim racer, and we’ve got a ton of supporting evidence.

It’s the time of end of the year lists. Eurogamer’s just published its own, and sim racers will spot a familiar name on it.

Now that we’ve eaten just about all the Christmas treats we can manage, we’re back with another round of GT Sport test drives.

It’s official: Gran Turismo 6’s days are numbered, at least in terms of online play. Polyphony Digital has pencilled in the PS3 title’s server shutdown for Spring 2018.

The turkey’s all gone, the gifts are unwrapped, and GT Sport is no longer suffering connection issues. It’s time for some photo snappin’, then!

You may have heard a little thing called the 1.10 update landed in GT Sport late last week. Just in time for the franchise’s 20th anniversary — and before some unexpected major down time — it brought a dozen new cars to the game.

Project CARS 2 players received the first bit of the game’s DLC last week, with the surprise release of the Fun Pack. We’ve spent some time with the content of the pack, and come back with a verdict: it’s an appropriate name.

I was never a coffee drinker.

If you’ve been holding out for a last-minute holiday deal on GT Sport, you’re in luck. Polyphony’s latest is back on sale on both sides of the Atlantic for the next few days.

Here it is — the most substantial update to Gran Turismo Sport since it launched in October. Version 1.10 is officially here.
