One thing we weren’t expecting to see this year was Project CARS 3. The announcement earlier this month came as a bit of a surprise, and now we have an official launch date: August 28.

It’s pretty to safe to say that the Gran Turismo 7 reveal video made quite an impact on long-term GT fans. Though GT Sport has its own charms, players have missed the old GT style in more ways than one.

Three more Daily Races have arrived to mark the new week in GT Sport, and the line-up is a pretty unusual one.

Whenever a new game like Gran Turismo 7 is revealed and the “hype train” leaves the station, it’s exciting to keep up with all the news, rumors, and announcements surrounding it. That’s our speciality here on the editorial side of GTPlanet, but it can be hard — even for us! — to keep up with everything that gets released.

If you were tuned into last night’s EA Play Live event you might have caught an interesting moment for racing game fans. It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but EA teased us with a snippet of the next Need for Speed game, and another curious little paradox.

Sim racing has been pretty big news this year, with major events springing up all around the world featuring some of the best-known names in the business. Now it’s becoming small news. Very, very small news.

If you’re a fan of the DIRT franchise you’ll need to get your calendar out and fill in this date: October 9. That’s when DIRT 5 officially hits on current-gen PlayStation and Xbox One consoles, Google Stadia, and PC.

As Winter takes hold across the UK in Forza Horizon 4, players can finally breathe a (slightly frosty) sigh of relief. At last, the delayed Series 23 content has arrived!

With only a few days to go until the June 23 launch date, the first console footage of Assetto Corsa Competizione emerged earlier in the week. Hot on the heels of that initial glimpse, 505 Games has published a new clip to show off the much-anticipated sim racer.

There’s a rather unusual mix of events in this fortnight’s GT Sport Time Trials, and you’re going to need a slightly different set of skills than normal.

Last week’s Gran Turismo 7 trailer had quite a lot to unpack, and we’ve put together a helpful guide to anything that might have slid under the radar.

Gran Turismo 7 is the eighth main entry in the Gran Turismo series. Developed by Polyphony Digital, a studio within Sony Interactive Entertainment, the series first launched in 1997 on the first PlayStation console and has sold over 80,000,000 copies worldwide since.

The grand reveal of Gran Turismo 7 during last week’s PlayStation 5 games event was a pretty exciting event. Along with confirming the game’s existence, it gave us a first look at GT7 in action — and a new career mode. We’ve put together a guide on everything we know about Gran Turismo 7, in case you need to get up to speed.

There’s only a week now until the console version of Assetto Corsa Competizione is with us, and at long last we’ve got to see the game in action.

If you’ve been waiting for news on the console release of Assetto Corsa Competizione, you’ll not want to miss this event today.

The latest F1 game is nearly upon us, coming on July 10 (or July 7 for Schumacher edition buyers) to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. As the anticipation builds, Codemasters has spilled the beans on one of the most interesting additions seen to date in the F1 series: My Team.

In these strange and uncertain times, we’ve seen a number of efforts from brands to bring people together and raise money for charity. Several of these enterprises have used the medium of video games — ideal for people stuck at home. Racing drivers like Charles Leclerc have run charity events, and the whole of the Formula E Race at Home Challenge was geared to fundraising for UNICEF.

You’ll be racking up the virtual air-miles with this week’s new set of GT Sport Daily Races, which unusually feature three real-world circuits — all of which arrived after the game’s launch. There’s quite the range of speeds on offer too.

Thursday’s big PlayStation 5 games reveal event provided a triple-whammy for Gran Turismo fans. Sony not only revealed the console itself, but also unveiled Gran Turismo 7. We have put together an extensive guide for everything there is to know about Gran Turismo 7, but we also wanted to take a deep-dive into exploring what is new with Trial Mountain.

Probably the most spectacular and ambitious race of this year’s unexpectedly virtual motorsports season is about to get underway. The first official 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual will see the French flag drop at 1300 UTC on June 3, getting a full day of digital racing underway.
