It’s as they say: all good things must come to an end. After several days of teasing, PC players now have access to the third and final Porsche Pack for Assetto Corsa. Arriving alongside today’s finale is update 1.11 for the game, bringing with it an all-new Championship gameplay mode in addition to the following vehicles from the Stuttgart manufacturer:

The third and final Porsche Pack is almost here, and as usual Kunos continues the hype train for tomorrow’s pack by releasing several new teaser images showing off the contents of the pack. Here’s the rundown of everything players can expect to find in the final pack, just in time for the holidays:

Well isn’t this a pleasant surprise, the year has yet to come to an end and Turn 10 are already discussing plans for the new year. While a new car pack was expected for the first month of the new year, the contents within were a mystery – that is until now.

The Spotlight is back again to share the goings-on within the GTPlanet community. Last week the attention was drawn toward 24 racing games recreated in the world of Forza Horizon 3, by user Yui-san.

2016 has been full of surprises in the world of gaming, and the year looks to come to a close in much of the same way it began: with a bang. Team VVV has come across the exciting news that Bigben Interactive has secured the rights to develop future titles in the Test Drive series of racing titles from Atari, SA.

With the release of the third Porsche Pack only days away, Kunos have made an announcement on the official Assetto Corsa Twitter page regarding one of the cars set to be included in this month’s pack: the 2017 911 RSR.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events take you to three well-paced technical circuits where attack speeds are the key to victory. Three challenge levels cover this week’s events, giving you a choice of capable sporting and racing metal.

We’re less than 24 hours away from the release of Blizzard Mountain for Forza Horizon 3 for Xbox One and Windows 10 players. Both Turn 10 and Playground Games appear to be just as anxious, releasing a 26-second teaser trailer for tomorrow’s expansion giving players of glimpse of what to expect.

It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so if you’ll allow me one moment of enjoyment: the Community Spotlight has returned! As ever, this feature is all about bringing attention to the workings of the GTPlanet community. So without further ado, let’s get right down to business.

Ars Technica had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Gran Turismo Sport at the PlayStation Experience this past weekend. Not only getting a first-hand demonstration of the stark contrast of GT Sport’s HDR from series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, but scoring some seat time with the game’s dedicated VR mode as well.

HDR, or High Dynamic Range, has been a hot topic within the gaming community in recent months. With compatible hardware, video games, and video content on the rise, it is quickly becoming the de facto standard for high-definition viewing and perhaps rightfully so.

There’s no denying Assetto Corsa’s troubled release on consoles, and while players continue to patiently await to arrival of private lobbies, user WarriusZero has come up with a solution that gets the job done in the meantime. While the following steps are catered toward PS4 users, there should be little to no issue for Xbox One players looking to do the same.

The end is nigh. While there’s no impending doom on the horizon, the final Porsche Pack is due for Assetto Corsa this month for PC players. With it comes the end of this saga of well-received add-on content representing one of the most winningest manufacturers in motorsports history.

With just nine days remaining until the release of the first expansion for Forza Horizon 3, new images have begun to surface giving players a better idea of what’s in store for them when Blizzard Mountain arrives on December 13.

Virtual Reality is quickly becoming a mainstay feature within the industry, and with Sony recently staking their own claim with PlayStation VR, Microsoft has decided to step in the ring with their own offering aimed at Windows 10 users.

Polyphony have pulled the trigger on the latest Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of time trial and drifting challenges, testing your mettle at a variety of racing venues. Whether it be non-race equipped or tuned machines, or GT300-class racing machines, this week’s seasonals appeal to them all.
