Today is an important day: the day all those extra Valentine’s Day chocolates go on heavy discount. PlayStation might just have a sweeter deal for sim racers though, with the Critics’ Choice Sale going live today.

A record-setting race car has just made the transition to the digital realm. Volkswagen’s Pikes Peak-conquering I.D. R is now available in V-Rally 4.

It’s been a while, but it’s time to wax lyrical about my favourite kind of racing once again: multiclass. Around three weeks ago, I was a part of a race that I’ll probably still be talking about in a few years time. It was an hour of the most intense, craziest, nose-to-tail action I’ve ever known.

Summer has once again descended on Forza Horizon 4. A new selection of events and prizes are up for grabs for players this week, as well as a new pair of Car Pass cars.

Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios can add another award to the trophy cabinet this week after Forza Horizon 4 took home Racing Game of the Year at the 2018 D.I.C.E Awards.

We’re less than two weeks away from the release of DiRT Rally 2.0, and the news keeps on coming. As a quick reminder, last we heard from DR2 saw the confirmation of Oculus Rift support coming this summer.

Karting sim KartKraft won’t be a PC-exclusive for long. As it turns out, the developer is targeting a console release before the end of this year.

Things have been a little quiet on the GT Academy front recently. As GT Sport’s full esports competition got into action, the gamer-to-racer program seemed to wither somewhat.

We’re coming up on the middle of the month, which usually means an update for Assetto Corsa Competizione is nigh.

What do you say about Bathurst? It’s breathtaking, terrifying and brutal. Somehow, those three words don’t quite do it justice. It’s a track with a rich history, with incredible stories from the Bathurst 1000 and, in more recent times, the Bathurst 12 Hour.

Fans of the longest-running licensed racing game franchise got good news from Electronic Arts last week. In a report on its Q3 FW19 earnings, the company name-dropped Need for Speed amongst its plans for the next year of releases.

It’s official: renowned racing venue Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is coming to iRacing.

What automotive games are people playing on Steam? This is the question we asked ourselves and thankfully, Steam Charts could solve it. The answers, however, are a little surprising.

Fancy yourself pretty good with Gran Turismo Sport’s livery editor? One of the big names in esports is on the hunt for a designer.

The latest patch, version 1.34, is now out from both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. With the update comes some excellent new content along with several fixes for both maps.

We’re 18 days from the release of DiRT Rally 2.0. While players count the days, there’s something else to look forward to: VR support.

Buried within this week’s Forza Monthly show was arguably some of the most important news to long-time Forza Motorsport 7 players. After almost a year since its initial announcement, the Race Regulations system should be coming to the game next month.

The weather has mercifully warmed up in Forza Horizon 4 this week. Spring has sprung once again, bringing with it the usual smattering of seasonal events, plus a pair of cars for Car Pass owners to add to their garage.

Right on schedule after an announcement earlier this week, a new version of Gran Turismo Sport is now available.

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it news blast, Polyphony Digital has confirmed a new Gran Turismo Sport update is coming later this week.
