The second major update of March for Gran Turismo Sport has just been released. Although it does not come with a new track — Autopolis was just introduced a few weeks ago — 1.36 brings with it an interesting new “overtake” feature.

Kunos Simulazioni has announced the first season of its new Assetto Corsa Competizione esport series. Called the SRO E-Sport GT Series, it will kick off next month alongside the Blancpain race at the historic Monza circuit.

Group C truly is the dog’s bollocks. A truckload of power, tons of downforce and brutal power delivery — it’s hard to understand why the class didn’t receive more love within sim racing. With this wonderful sim racing explosion we’re in the midst of, that is finally changing.

If you’re not into grinding for credits, we’ve got some good news. By raising the price cap for eligible cars, Polyphony Digital has expanded the number of available vehicles in the GT Sport PSN Store by seven. This will make 271 of the game’s 289 cars available to purchase with real money instead of in-game credits.

There’s few requested content items quite like it. Other than perhaps a premium Mk4 Supra (which Polyphony Digital delivered over a year ago), there’s nothing the fans want to see in GT Sport quite like Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

We are not fans of Forza Horizon 4’s Festival Playlist, introduced in Series 7. However, after a backlash from the community, it looks like Playground Games is exploring a patch to make it more palatable. The question remains though, is it enough to fix it?

It’s a more traditional-looking affair in the GT Sport Daily Race this week, as you get a chance to break out your Manufacturer Series rides.

It’s that time again. Time to venture to the picturesque version of Britain that makes up Forza Horizon 4 and snap your favorite picture.

Brazil’s Igor Fraga is going to have a busy schedule this year. Not only will he be defending his title in the 2019 FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Championship, he’ll be duking it out on track in a full-blown open-wheel race car.

With the F1 season getting underway earlier this month, our community is taking the opportunity to celebrate, GT Sport style.

Kazunori Yamauchi has made his traditional silhouette Tweet, confirming a further content update is inbound.

If you want to emulate Igor Fraga in 2019 and stand on the top step of GT Sport’s Nations Cup podium, your chance starts this weekend.

Yesterday we brought you the first part of our interview with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, from the Paris World Tour event.

The temperature is dropping, and the leaves are changing color. Autumn has once again descended on Forza Horizon 4, along with new races and content for players.

At the recent, season-opening Paris World Tour event, GTPlanet again had the opportunity to sit down with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

McRae and Skoda — one of these is not like the other! I think of McRae and some of the most memorable moments in WRC come to mind. I think of Skoda and the box-like Octavia WRC is what pops up. One is a legend of the sport, the other is quickly forgotten.

“Play your way.” This was the phrase often associated with Forza Horizon 4 in the months leading up to the game’s release. However, in recent weeks this concept changed. No longer is it play your way, but rather play Playground Games’ way.

Google took the wraps off its not-so-secret vision of gaming earlier today. Meet Stadia, its cloud-powered gaming platform.

Switch owners, rejoice: another racing game is arriving on Nintendo’s hybrid console in a matter of months. Isle of Man TT: Ride on the Edge will bring two-wheel fun to Switch May 23.

GT Sport players participating in the recently announced GR Supra GT Cup will have an unusual extra role: vehicle development.
