Formula One has announced that, Hutch, a mobile game developer, will be producing officially-licensed F1 games in 2019.

When GT Sport launched in October 2017, one major criticism was the relative lack of content. Just 168 cars and 39 tracks (at 17 locations) made the game the least content-rich since Gran Turismo 3.

The end of the year festivities are in full force it would seem. With 2018 nearing its end, SimBin Studios has taken to Twitter to remind fans of the upcoming GTR 3 racing sim.

The action never ends in Forza Horizon 4. Last week saw the arrival of the Fortune Island expansion, and it’s been a blast thus far. Now that everything has had time to settle, the weekly seasonal change has come around.

If you were under the impression RaceRoom Racing Experience didn’t have anything left in the tank — think again. As we draw closer to the end of the year, Sector3 Studios has one final parting gift for 2018 in the form of a new update.

With the holidays upon us, it can be easy to forget just how close we are to the release of Codemasters’ highly anticipated DiRT Rally 2.0. The game launches on February 26, 2019, and a batch of new content has been revealed as an early Christmas surprise.

The latest version of iRacing is now available to all subscribers. Following the first update of the 2019 season, the iRacing team is back at it again, this time with some holiday cheer.

It’s been quite a year for racing games, especially in the competitive scene. The racing world of esports appears to grow larger by the day, with just about every major player onboard. If there’s one thing that could improve competitive racing, it would be the growth of the community at-large.

After a motorcycle accident injured his spinal cord, Alvaro Blanco was no longer able to use his hands and feet to control his favorite racing game — but that wasn’t about to stop him from playing. Now, Alvaro uses a special controller known as a Quadstick to play GT Sport using only his mouth.

The scene: it’s Sunday, it’s my day off. After a tough 6 hour race at Sebring the day before, I’m trying to rest my aching wrist and giddy head. I’m sitting on TeamSpeak with some friends, relaxing and having a laugh. Then I get a message from Atze Kerkhof (Member of Team Redline): “Would you like to race against Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in an F3 car?”

Audio. It’s an integral part of sim racing, but it’s safe to say it often takes a backseat to visuals, physics, and input devices.

With only days to spare, it looks like Wrench will meet its autumn release date. Heading to Steam Early Access on Wednesday, December 19, it beats the Winter Solstice by two days.

The iRacing Endurance Le Mans Series – or to put it another way, my favourite online racing series in sim racing at present. With its 6 hour races and multiclass format, including my beloved hybrid LMP1 class, it was always going to win me over.

We’re back for some good old-fashioned photographic fun in Forza Horizon 4. It’s been a while, but to make things simpler during this busy holiday season, our latest theme is all about Forza Edition cars.

If you’re active on social media, you might have seen a new project from Sony doing the rounds. “My PS4 Life” is a community feature that shows off individual players’ gaming skills in the PS4’s five years on sale.

Last week Fortune Island appeared off the coast of Great Britain in Forza Horizon 4. It introduced not only a harsh new environment to master and 10 new cars — it brought with it one of the easiest sources of credits in the game.

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes did it again in F1 this year. To celebrate, our latest Gran Turismo Sport photo mode competition is putting the game’s “Maestro” and the brand in the spotlight.

When Forza Horizon 4 launched earlier this year, it did so with the largest lineup of cars in the sub-franchise’s history. Despite that, it came without a handful of brands, including Lexus, Rolls-Royce, and Mitsubishi. Now, it seems like the latter could be returning to the fold.

Porsche is jumping onboard the latest esports competition as an official partner. The Porsche iRacing World Championship Series will get underway next month, with a $100,000 prize purse up for grabs.

Is Forza Horizon 4 getting an additional bit of French flair? An Instagram post from Modern Classics Magazine (MCM) suggests it is.
