UPDATE: The official Gran Turismo channel has released a video of Spa, with NYC GT Championship Manufacturer Series champ Cody Latkovski taking players on the tour:

Team Mercedes-Benz — Anthony Felix (USA), Cody Latkovski (AUS), and Bernal Valverde (COS) — has won the Manufacturer Series title at the third World Tour event, in New York City.

After the light-hearted action of yesterday’s Pro-Am Race, it’s time to get down to serious business at the New York World Tour event.

Need for Speed Heat continues to be a hot topic this week (pun intended). A new video from this year’s Gamescom shows off an all-new feature that’s sure to perk up one’s ears.

Polyphony Digital has used this weekend’s NYC event to announce the final leg of the Gran Turismo FIA-Certified Championship. Once again, the esport series will head to Monaco to wrap up the season.

Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed in a presentation in New York that the new brand partner for the GT Sport FIA-Certified Online Championships is Michelin.

The action at the GT Sport World Tour New York event is nearly upon us. This coming weekend, 36 drivers working in teams will race for their chosen brands in the Manufacturer Series. Then on Sunday, 23 drivers will battle it out for an automatic place in November’s World Final alongside Nico Rubilar and Igor Fraga.

It lives. Again. SimBin Studios has taken to Twitter to show off a new preview image for the upcoming GTR 3.

It’s one of the world’s most famous, most challenging race tracks. Unsurprisingly, it’s also one of the most in-demand tracks among fans of GT Sport. An impasse over licensing seemed to have dashed our hopes of ever seeing it in the game, but it now seems that it’s on the way — and a lot sooner than we’d thought.

This past Monday, EA and Ghost Games officially pulled the wraps off Need for Speed Heat at Gamescom. Now we have a gameplay trailer to walk players through what awaits them later this year.

Spring time has once again graced the UK in the latest season switch for Forza Horizon 4. It’s the final week of Series 12, which means the last batch of content for this month is up for grabs.

While we’ve been aware of GT Sport’s next content update for a little while, the exact contents have remained a bit more of a mystery. In the last couple of days, the fog has lifted slightly, with Kazunori Yamauchi’s traditional teaser post revealing that five cars are on the way (even if no-one can work out what one of them is).

We are quickly approaching the next Gran Turismo FIA GT Championship World Tour event, happening this weekend in New York City.

With just a handful of days to go until the next round of the GT Sport FIA Certified Online Championships World Tour, series producer Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed the next content update is on its way.

My, how time flies. A little over two years ago, the GTPlanet editorial staff and extended family pooled their heads together and ranked their favorite games in the series.

UPDATE (08.21.19): Toyota UK has released a series of tweets in regards to the (now-deleted) original “illegal street racing” comment:

If we were to start telling you how big esports is, we’d be preaching to the choir. Almost everyone is getting on-board with the message these days, right up to the governing body of motorsports itself, the Federation International de l’Automobile (FIA).

Continuing on with the deluge of info on Need for Speed Heat, developer Ghost Games has confirmed the game’s full list of trophies and achievements.

As we reach the halfway point of the 2019 FIA Gran Turismo Championship World Tour, it’s time to take a closer look at the top drivers.

Earlier this month, the team behind iRacing showed off its new, work-in-progress damage model. It looks to be one of the biggest leaps for the acclaimed PC sim racer yet, and if we’re being honest, it looks amazing.
