The team at Kunos Simulazioni continue to ride the hot streak after last week’s release of the anticipated Red Pack, bringing seven all-new Italian rides to the game, in addition to the Red Bull Ring.

The day has finally come, the Red Pack is now available to PC players for Assetto Corsa. Named after Italy’s national racing color, the pack pays tribute to Italian machinery and is dominated by a certain Italian automaker more synonymous with the color than any other: Ferrari.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of super lap and drift trial challenges, featuring capable machines from virtually all walks of life.

Leading up to tomorrow’s release of the Red Pack, Kunos continues to tease the remaining cars left to be revealed. While we may have already suspected the GT3 racer to be included in tomorrow’s DLC, the team have officially confirmed that the successor to the 458 Italia GT3 will make way to the Red Pack.

It looks like the cat is out of the bag in relation to the final three cars that will be included in the Red Pack for Assetto Corsa releasing later this week. Eagle-eyed viewers were able to spot the final three cars in the latest Kunos developer stream, Look What the Cat Hacked In at a little over 24 minutes in.

If you weren’t hyped enough consider yourself lucky, the entire team at Kunos Simulazioni have certainly become masters of that craft with these recent string of trailers. Whether it be further building the already high anticipation for the upcoming console release, or a slow trickling of reveals for the upcoming Red Pack – Kunos certainly knows how to get the job done.

This month is going to be packed with four races from the F1 circus. The second of those four feature races, taking place at Silverstone, home to the British Grand Prix, is set to kick off with the qualifying session in an hour’s time.

With the release of this year’s F1 game drawing near, Codemasters has taken the opportunity to drop a few new bits of information on the upcoming title. Beginning with the new trailer seen above, showing off the new hospitality areas, time-of-day editor, and action from the paddock.

If the recent talk of newer consoles on the way wasn’t enough to keep you going, the rumor mill is at it again, this time suggesting Sony could be announcing a slimmer PlayStation 4. An announcement that could be made as soon as the Tokyo Games Show in September.

With this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix just hours away from the green flag, what better time for another in-game look at the upcoming F1 2016 featuring – you guessed it – the Red Bull Ring.

Grand Theft Auto V really is an incredible game, just have a look into our dedicated GTA sub-forum to see that for yourself. With so much on the table it should come as no surprise that there’s plenty to do, and with the Rockstar Editor allowing players to record and edit in-game videos the possibilities are virtually endless.

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, covering three challenge levels and kicking things off with Ferrari.

Assetto Corsa has been on a hot streak as of late, and with the recent bombshell that a certain Stuttgart manufacturer is due later this fall, it doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon. Console racers on the look-out for the acclaimed title still have a little wait until it lands on the PS4 and Xbox One.

Talk about something you don’t see everyday. There’s no questioning the expense in securing any number of the available high performance, exotic torpedoes when advertising comes into play. Whether it be an issue of the vehicle’s availability, the location, or setting up everything for the ideal commercial or movie, it can all prove to be very troublesome.

Team VVV brings us the first gameplay footage of the upcoming WRC 6 from E3 2016, with developer commentary that’s sure to please fans of the series. Right off the bat, it’s confirmed that WRC 6 will be exclusive to current generation consoles, a decision that has freed up additional resources to develop the game without compromise.

Team VVV brings us new E3 gameplay footage of the upcoming F1 2016, featuring the Ferrari SF16-H taking a couple of laps around Autódromo José Carlos Pace, home to the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Earlier this week at Microsoft’s E3 conference, Phil Spencer put an end to the rumors by confirming the development of Project Scorpio, the next major addition to the Xbox family that’s much more than a simple refresh.

PlayStation VR had a strong showing at Sony’s E3 conference earlier this week, with plenty of demos on display, the likes of which including Batman: Arkham VR and Star Wars Battlefront X-Wing VR Mission. With these and plenty others in the pipeline, and those that were on the show floor, the industry is fairly optimistic about the adoption of VR headsets.

Talk about being taken by surprise. While Kunos Simulazioni, the brains behind the critically-acclaimed Assetto Corsa, may not have made the buzz at this year’s E3 that many were perhaps expecting, the small Italian studio, alongside publisher 505 Games, have made their mark elsewhere, having just announced a partnership no one was expecting.
