GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: Driven to the Edge

We’re in the wake of another Formula One weekend, this time taking a trip to the Bahrain International Circuit, albeit with a twist. This year the circuit will make use of an all-new floodlight system that will see the Grand Prix event into the hours beyond the sun, making this the second race of the season to run without natural lighting.

We’re moving straight into the goodies this week as this week’s headline is actually a full-length segment that may very well return at some point later in the year with yet another look into what makes a racing game attractive.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: Build Your Own Porsche!

It’s a little funny to me that this week’s Rewind is being presented – the opening act, if you will – by an already prominent staple of the article itself; however, the community here is the central focus of the Rewind, and anything that makes the lives of the many easier will be showcased here.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: It All Begins Again

The inaugural race weekend of the 2014 Formula One season is finally here, and while I maintain a gross of reservations regarding the new engine formula and some of the new/amended rulings, it’s a level of excitement that I couldn’t feign if I honestly tried to.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: The Benchmark of the Fifth Generation

Twelve days are all that stands between me and the beginning of the 2014 Formula One season, and I’ve kept myself oblivious to most of what has already been unveiled because, well, to be perfectly honest it’s rather confusing. For example, gone are the days of teams preserving their tires throughout the final qualifying session, because now the drivers that get through to Q3 will start the race on the tires used to set their fastest lap times in Q2, should they choose to not run Q3.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: To Save the Day

We’ve been down this road many times in the past and I’m sure many of you know, at least by now, that I’m a photomode junkie. The photomode efforts present in Gran Turismo, and by extension, the efforts present in our very own Photomode Forum for GT6 are quickly becoming a cornerstone of GTPlanet.
