The latest game update for GT Sport has arrived and, as expected, it’s all about housekeeping.

Not content with having its Fast and Furious Crossroads title landing on shelves this summer, Slightly Mad Studios has also now revealed Project CARS 3 for the same time frame.

Like so much of this year’s motorsport, the 24 Hours of Le Mans has fallen to the unusual global conditions. The event will still run, albeit in September, but the race’s governing body, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), has opted to stage a virtual event to run in its original June calendar slot.

If you fancy yourself as a two-wheeled esports champion, recently released motorbike racer TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 has a competition that should pique your interest.

Toyota and Nacon — formerly Bigben Interactive — have announced that the automotive brand will be the title sponsor for the 2020 and 2021 seasons of WRC 8’s “eSports WRC” online esports challenge.

It’s not quite two weeks since our last game update to Gran Turismo Sport arrived, but there’s already another one on its way.

British game developer and publisher Codemasters has picked up the official WRC license, and will develop titles in the series from 2023.

The second stage of GT Sport’s radically altered 2020 FIA Online Championship gets underway this week, with another block of ten races in each of the two series.

The calendar has clicked over to June, and coincidentally it marks the start of another new week. That means there’s a new set of three GT Sport Daily Races to take us through the week, and we’re visiting alternate ends of the modern automotive spectrum.

After last weekend’s exciting, packed, and controversial weekend of esports, there’s still more action to come. Aside from NASCAR, the world of physical motorsport hasn’t restarted after a prolonged layoff, but the digital world continues to spin.

Famed Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini will take its first steps into the world of esports with its own challenge series.

F1’s real-world activities in 2020 may not be going to plan, but the official F1 2020 game is still on the hook for that July 10 launch date. Continuing the tease, Codemasters has today revealed another piece of the new title, and it’s the new-for-2020 Hanoi Circuit in Vietnam.

The sun is out once more, meaning Spring has made a welcome return to Forza Horizon 4 for another week. It’s the home stretch for Series 22, with one last helping of content for the month.

Things have gone a little quiet for Fast and Furious Crossroads since last year’s surprise announcement. However, it’s all come back with a bit of a bang, and a new launch date, with today’s gameplay trailer.

Famed niche German car manufacturer Ruf has released a new documentary film covering its 80-year history. The “Love at the Red Line” film tells the rather unusual story of the Ruf family business’s origins under Alois Ruf, with extensive interviews with current company owners Alois Ruf Jr and his wife Estonia.

Back when Gran Turismo Sport launched in October 2017, it faced two main criticisms. The first was that no true offline mode existed, while reviews also pointed to the relatively small amount of content.

One of the fastest closed-cockpit racing categories in the world, Super GT, has announced it will hold a special online event for its pro drivers, using Gran Turismo Sport.

It’s another new week, and that means a new set of three GT Sport Daily Races. There’s a little something familiar for players this week, but also something a lot more unusual.

There’s been a few controversial incidents in this year’s esports extravaganza. We’ve seen drivers crashing other drivers, rage quits, and even racism from the pro drivers. This week’s talking point might be the most bizarre yet.

This weekend is one that all motorsports fans will have marked in their calendars with the fattest Sharpie possible. May 24 is the date when two of the three arms of the Triple Crown of Motorsports stage their showpiece events: the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500.
