A GTPlanet user has discovered that one of GT Sport’s flagship features, the Scapes function, has quite a great deal more depth than we ever realized — literally.

Team-based esports series V10 R-League will grow by two teams for its second season, which gets underway in April.

GT Sport Daily Race fans have another set of three new races to keep them entertained for the next week, and all three look set to be a bundle of fun. There’s two events for the Gr.4 and Gr.3 race cars (the in-game equivalent to GT4 and GT3), and a very odd car choice for the Race A event which should prove interesting.

It looks as if the next Project CARS 3 DLC is just around the corner, following hot on the heels of the Power Pack earlier in the month, although Slightly Mad Studios may be playing its cards a little close to the chest this time round.

As revealed earlier in the year, this season’s GT World Challenge Europe will break some new ground. For the first time in any motorsports series anywhere in the world, teams can earn points towards the real championship in virtual racing. Fanatec and the Stephane Ratel Organisation (SRO), which governs the series, have now revealed exactly how this will function when the series gets underway next month.

Summer is back on the menu in Forza Horizon 4 with a brand new season on the cards. The kickoff for Series 33 is a big one, as Steam players will be joining the fray for the first time.

Forza Horizon 4 finally made its way to Steam this week, and immediately shot to the top of the rankings for a title in the racing game genre.

If you fancy picking up a very special piece of Gran Turismo memorabilia, there’s an interesting opportunity this week for fans based in Spain.

Gran Turismo Sport Time Trial fans have another new set of events to occupy them for the next two weeks, both set on race tracks that are also public roads — although that’s only fictionally so in the case of one circuit. Unusually, the events are swapped round from their typical order, with the fixed setting trial on the right rather than the normal left.

Playground Games have kicked off March by giving a tantalising glimpse into new content coming for the next Forza Horizon 4 update. Series 33 is set to arrive later this week on Xbox and on Steam for the first time. Let’s open the hood and check out what’s coming.

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on super-cutesy racer Circuit Superstars, there’s some good news. The game has now entered Early Access on Steam, and publisher Square Enix has confirmed a console release is also still in the works.

As usual, Monday marks a new set of GT Sport Daily Races for players to rack up some vital Driver Rating points for their FIA GT Online Championship exploits, and this week’s selection takes us to some variations from the norm.

As the current Series in Forza Horizon 4 comes to an end another one is just around the corner, and Playground Games has confirmed a rather unusual machine will be coming to the game soon: the Raesr Tachyon Speed.

Spring has once again descended upon the UK to bring a new season to Forza Horizon 4. We’ve entered the final lap for Series 32, with the last batch of content now available to players.

A surprise update to the PC version of Assetto Corsa has landed today, and left something of a mystery in its wake.

The new season of the British GT Esports Championship will get underway this month, but there’s something of a change to procedings. For the first time, the series is now entirely under the SRO Motorsports Group’s purview, and shifts platforms onto Assetto Corsa Competizione.

EA’s next, and as yet unnamed, Need for Speed title is the latest racing game to suffer a postponement. Chief studios officer Laura Miele, who revealed the game’s existence last June, has confirmed that the title will not arrive in 2021, and instead reach gamers in 2022.

The mystery fourth car in this week’s Project CARS 3 DLC pack has broken cover, and it’s not only making its debut in the Project CARS series but in gaming as a whole: the Nissan 400Z Proto.

It’s the first of the month and the start of a new week, and there’s another set of new GT Sport Daily Races to keep us all occupied for the next seven days. This week’s selection is all about speed, as players go to three of the fastest race tracks in the world for their Sport Mode antics.

Milestone has revealed it’s developing a game based on that famous toy line from Mattel, Hot Wheels. The brands have worked together to create Hot Wheels Unleashed, which looks like it could be the dream toybox of cars we all wish we had as kids.
