The last chance for the official 2021 FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships drivers to gain some points before December’s World Final is coming up this weekend, giving us the opportunity to update our driver rankings.

One of the most interesting features in Forza Horizon 5 is one that was revealed right back at the game’s first announcement, but barely spoken of since: Event Lab. In fact it’s been kept so quiet that it wasn’t even mentioned in the guide Microsoft sent along with our review code last week, and we really wish it had.

A new set of GT Sport Daily Races is with us for the next seven days, with a spread of events that should have something to suit all tastes.

Update: The videos have now been removed, though we managed to preserve them on our own YouTube channel first.

It’s an odd time to be a Forza fan. After eight successive years with a full title in the franchise — Motorsport in odd years, Horizon in evens — it’s been three years since the last game in the series, and that was 2018’s Forza Horizon 4.

The latest Winter season in Forza Horizon 4 sees an air of change hover over the Festival. The launch of Forza Horizon 5 is imminent, and players are scrambling to finish up the latest events before jetting off to Mexico.

It seems there’s no letting up with the GT7 teaser videos, with a second clip this week landing today. This time the focus, quite literally, is photography, and the Scapes game mode.

There’s one final chance to get your foot in the door for the 2022 F1 Esports Series, with the last qualifying round for next season underway now.

Another new video in the “Gran Turismo 7 Behind the Scenes” series has landed, this time focusing on the game’s enhanced livery editor.

A new TV advertisement for Forza Horizon 5 makes its debut today, with just over a week to go until the official general release date of November 9.

Although much of the world is changing its clocks this week, the new set of Gran Turismo Sport Daily Races is right on time as usual. This week’s three races will see players tackling two tracks in Japan, and going flat-out in Italy for the next seven days.

Ian Bell, founder and public face of Slightly Mad Studios, has announced that he’s leaving the company he created back in 2009.

Assetto Corsa Competizione players will soon have a new toy to throw around the track in the form of the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo Evo 2.

Playground Games has announced that players who’ve played previous titles in the Forza series — both Horizon and Motorsport — will get a little leg-up in FH5 with some bonus cars, depending on which titles they’ve played.

As Autumn returns to the UK to kick off a new season, full Hallowe’en preparations are also underway. Aside from giving others a fright, players are continuing to tick off the latest haunting events.

The Gran Turismo 7 trailers are coming thick and fast, with a new video in the “Behind the Scenes” series dropping today.

Sony’s has released its latest set of quarterly financial results, revealing that the PlayStation 5 is still matching the PlayStation 4 in total unit sales.

The second round of this year’s F1 Esports Pro Series is running today and tomorrow, and already there’s a familiar look to the championship.

Barely five days after the last Gran Turismo 7 trailer video, we have another “Behind the Scenes” teaser for the title, revealing more about the cars and tracks that will be in the game.
