June 2019 looks like it could be a bit of a bumper month for new GT Sport content. We’ve got new cars in the pipeline, new weather conditions set to shake things up, and now we’ve got a brand new circuit on the way.

The FIA-certified Gran Turismo Championship is back! The next World Tour event is happening at the Nurburgring this weekend alongside the circuit’s own infamous 24-hour endurance race.

It’s almost a tradition now for the GT Sport World Tour events: new event, new content.

When you watch the competitors at any esports event, it’s easy to think that these are people so freakishly talented that mere mortals cannot hope to match them. The Gran Turismo Sport FIA-Certified Online Championship events are a case in point. At each event you’ll see a large proportion of those who qualify who were also at the previous event. In fact the sim racing community even has a name for them: aliens.

It looks like GT Sport players will have one more reason to tune into this weekend’s Nürburgring FIA World Tour event. A recent leak has seemingly confirmed the addition of new wet weather conditions within the game.

With Assetto Corsa Competizione finally out, and GTPlanet’s verdict now live, there’s no better time to highlight the latest episode of Time Extend. Last week, Brendan Rorrison and I dove head-first into Kunos’ new Blancpain GT-licensed sim.

Here at the beginning of summer, Assetto Corsa Competizione sits in a rather unique position. It has the spotlight all to itself, at least until F1 2019 touches down later this month. While we first got to know it with our hands-on preview last year, we’re now back to put our spin on the retail release.

A recent report from a hedge fund has suggested a new sales figure for Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo Sport. It’s a big one too, with the copy total coming in at an estimated 8 million.

Playground Games has hit another milestone with Forza Horizon 4. The Britain-based open-world racer has cracked the eight-figure mark, recording over 10 million players since its launch last September.

Wildcard entry Veloce Esports has won the inaugural Le Mans Esports Series, following a 24-hour race marathon.

There’s a taste of the Gran Turismo World Tour coming to the Daily Races this week.

With a little under two weeks to go until the release of F1 2019, Codemasters has unveiled the full input device compatibility list.

Codemasters is stoking excitement for the next DiRT Rally 2.0 with its newest video. Here, players can get a good look at the Latvia Rallycross circuit before it drops on June 18.

It might be the most grueling sim-racing event ever conceived, and it gets underway today.

Autumn has come around once more in Forza Horizon 4. The traditional season switch also means another fresh batch of content and events for players.

First it was the rumor nobody could quite believe. Then the Xbox E3 presentation revealed it was actually real. Today it arrives in Forza Horizon 4: LEGO Speed Champions is here.

We’re beginning to pick up on an unofficial theme for the racing genre at E3 this year. First there was LEGO, and now Square Enix has shown off the charming Circuit Superstars ahead of a 2020 console (and Steam) release.

With E3 2019 well and truly in the swing of things, we’ve been so focused on the games (or expansions) that are coming, we almost missed the great deals on ones that are already with us. The latest Xbox sale celebrates the biggest gaming expo of the year with huge price cuts on practically all the major driving titles on the platform.

With less than two weeks to go until its release, Activision and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled developer Beenox have revealed more info on the remastered kart racer. The big news? There will be genuinely new content — and it’ll be free.

Bigben Interactive offered racing fans a pleasant surprise at E3 yesterday. The publisher announced that a sequel to last year’s TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is coming in 2020.
