As the sun dips below the horizon, the latest Autumn season has kicked off in Forza Horizon 4. Among the piles of leaves are the latest round of new events, with more prizes up for grabs.

Codemasters has today announced the official game of the 2021 Formula One World Championship, F1 2021.

Polyphony Digital studio founder Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that he’s planning to continue working on the Gran Turismo game series into the future, and beyond next year’s Gran Turismo 7.

With a week to go until the racing action gets underway, Polyphony Digital has announced the full schedule for the first round of this season’s FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship.

Nacon and KT Racing have announced the next entry in the WRC series, the official game of the World Rally Championship. WRC 10 will arrive later this year, and brings new game modes and content to the series.

As players are waiting for some good news around PlayStation 5’s Gran Turismo 7, a development over the weekend could mean that Gran Turismo will also head to the world of mobile gaming.

Just like the real thing, F1 Esports has something of a gender imbalance. In four seasons to date, no female driver has ever taken part in an official F1 Esports race, and no team has ever selected a female driver.

A new week means a new set of GT Sport Daily Races to get to grips with, and this week’s trio of events brings a mixture of pace to satisfy all tastes.

Renault Trucks has teamed up with renowned trucking simulation Euro Truck Simulator 2 to deliver an interesting competition with a pretty unusual prize, all themed around a brand new lorry.

Italian developer Milestone and toy manufacturer Mattel have revealed the first official gameplay footage of Hot Wheels Unleashed, due for release later this year.

The seasonal wheels keep turning on Forza Horizon 4 this week, as another Summer season is officially underway. It’s also the kickoff for Series 34, bringing the first week of new and updated content.

If you’re one of the tens of millions of gamers who have been trying — and failing — to get hold of a new-generation console over the last six months, we’ve got a little bit of bad news for you. For now, at least, it doesn’t look like the console shortage is going to ease up, with some in the industry expecting the situation to continue through to 2022.

There’s a new set of Gran Turismo Sport Time Trial events ready for the next two weeks, and they’re taking players well outside their usual comfort zones.

Chris Esaki, the creative director at Turn 10 Studios, has revealed that some players will soon be able to get their hands on the next game in the Forza Motorsport series — or at least a part of it.

After a little tease yesterday during the 2021 FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship announcement, Polyphony Digital and Toyota Gazoo Racing have confirmed a third season of the online Toyota GR championship — but there’s a couple of changes.

An announcement from both Polyphony Digital and Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed that the new Toyota GR86 will be coming to Gran Turismo Sport later this year.

As well as announcing the new format for the 2021 season of the FIA Certified Gran Turismo Online Championship, Polyphony Digital has also revealed the largest expansion in eligible players since the esports series first started. Around a billion more people can now join in, as India and South Africa are both now officially part of the event.

Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to the PlayStation Blog to announce a new-look format for the upcoming 2021 FIA Certified Gran Turismo Online Championship, the fourth season of the flagship esports competition. As we were able to reveal last month, this year’s championship will remain online only, and with that in mind Polyphony Digital has delivered a shake-up to proceedings.

There’s a fresh set of GT Sport Daily Races now available, with players taking race cars — albeit in name alone in one case — to three of the game’s real-world circuits dotted around the globe. As with last week, you’ll be using the two core vehicle classes of GT Sport — Gr.3 and Gr.4 — and enjoying the most-recently added circuit too.

If you’re after a fun diversion over this long Easter weekend, Codemasters has a nice little gift lined up for you. From now through to April 5, DIRT 5 is free for everyone on PlayStation 4.
