Thrustmaster fans, rejoice! It seems the American brand, owned by France’s Guillemot Corporation since 1999, will finally offer a high-end load cell pedal set for sim racers. Say hello to the Thrustmaster ‘Load Cell and Magnetics’ pedal, or T-LCM for short.

In a surprise move, Sector3 Studios has announced Daytona International Speedway and the Porsche 911 RSR are coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience.

Since its initial announcement at last year’s E3, we’ve been waiting on confirmation of a release date for TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2. Late last year, publisher Bigben Interactive lightly penciled in a “first semester” (that’s the first half of the year) 2020 launch window, but an unusual source has now narrowed that down somewhat.

Long-running PC racing sim iRacing will further expand its BMW lineup with the addition of the M4 GT4 later this year. The good news comes courtesy of the iRacing Motorsport Simulations team itself, who shared details of a visit to Turner Motorsport — one of the largest BMW privateer teams in the world — earlier this week.

With the new year in full swing, Kunos Simulazioni is continuing to tease the next big thing coming to Assetto Corsa Competizione.

A first look at Forza Motorsport 8 may be just around the corner. At this year’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Turn 10 will be discussing ray tracing techniques, with likely applications to the next chapter in the Forza Motorsport series.

The next generation of gaming continues to grow more interesting by the minute. Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 touch down this holiday season, ushering in the ninth generation of consoles.

Talks of the next generation of video game consoles continues to heat up, though things have taken an unexpected turn.

At the tail end of 2019, Microsoft surprised everyone with the reveal of the Xbox Series X at the Video Game Awards. The event provided us our first look at the next-gen machine, and it’s unlike any Xbox prior.

The new year is off to a fantastic start for video game players. Earlier this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, Sony Interactive president and CEO Jim Ryan pulled the wraps off the logo for the PlayStation 5. Synonymous with the brand’s visual image thus far, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

The new year is off to a good start if you’re a fan of mobile racing title Real Racing 3. A new update is now available for the mobile racer, bringing with it three new cars and events for players to wade through.

Several days into the new year and things are already heating up for the next generation of video game consoles.

Forza Horizon 4 has been keeping players entertained for the better part of nearly 14 months now. It should come as no surprise that 10 million of us have played the game since it launched last September.

Last week saw the release of the December Update for RaceRoom Racing Experience. With it came new racing machines from BMW and Porsche, daylight progression, Ningbo International Speedpark, and more.

Last week at The Game Awards, Microsoft made the surprise reveal of its next-generation console, the Xbox Series X. The fourth iteration of Redmond’s video game console is a drastic departure in terms of aesthetic appeal. It bears more of a resemblance to a Small Form Factor (SFF) PC than a conventional console.

The governing body of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) will shake up next year’s race yet with a new two-stage qualifying format. It replaces the three-session qualifying we’ve seen in recent years, as the top-class LMP1 cars make their final appearance.

At this year’s E3, Bigben Interactive made the surprise announcement of TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2. With the end of year upon us, Bigben and Kylotonn Games have given us our first look at the sequel.

While all the chatter right now is about the next generation of consoles arriving this time next year, Sony hasn’t forgotten the current machines just yet. It has just announced a new add-on peripheral for the DualShock 4 controller, going by the less-than catchy name of “Back Button Attachment”.

It’s that time of the year where things go out with a bang, and Assetto Corsa Competizione is no different. A new update is now available for the PC racing sim on Steam.

During this week’s Forza Monthly broadcast, Turn 10’s creative director Chris Esaki revealed new details on the next Forza Motorsport.
