Despite all the non-stop action of the FIA-Certified GT Sport Online Championship regional finals, Polyphony Digital is still finding time to update the game.

What a difference a year makes.

Before we completely close the page on last week’s FIA-certified GT Championship EMEA Regional Finals and prepare for this week’s American Regional Finals in Las Vegas (which we’ll also be covering in full), we need to stop and take a moment to reflect on one of the best Gran Turismo events, ever.

In the season known for the dead rising back to life, this seems oddly appropriate. After years of silence, kart sim KartKraft is back in the spotlight, and will be in players hands later this week.

After a short delay, we’re now only a month away from the release of Ride 3. To further whet appetites for its two-wheel racer, Milestone has released a new trailer, highlighting the game’s livery editor.

Another weekend brings another pair of new cars to Forza Horizon 4. The end of October sees a special 2018 Ford Mustang by DeBerti Design and a Lamborghini Gallardo Performante hit the roads of Britain.

The springtime rains are fading away as Forza Horizon 4 enters its second summer season.

In case you missed it, GTPlanet was on hand at Madrid Games Week for the FIA-certified GT Sport Online Championship regional final. While there, with all the action going on around us, we were able to catch up again with Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi.

The EMEA Regional Finals of the FIA GT Sport Championship were held in Madrid last weekend, where Mikail Hizal — better known as TRL_LIGHTNING on PSN and here in our forums — beat the other top 30 drivers from across Europe in a dominating performance.

As you probably know if you’ve read our extensive race reports from the FIA GT Championship EMEA Regional Finals, TRL_LIGHTNING (Mikail Hizal) was crowned the overall 2018 European Champion. Nine more drivers also qualified to move forward to the next stage of the competition, with the chance to represent their countries in the World Finals next month.

In a surprise move, Playground Games has dropped the latest Forza Horizon 4 content update two days ahead of schedule.

Last month we got the very welcome news that DiRT Rally 2.0 is coming. The original has a reputation as brutally realistic, and now we’re seeing just how much Codemasters puts into the game to achieve that. Even down to the pace notes.

Another ten players have booked their places in the GT Sport Nations Cup final next month, with Germany’s Mikail Hizal (TRL_LIGHTNING) leading the way.

It’s a busy weekend for racing esports. Not only has the GT Sport FIA European Final just wrapped, it’s also the first day of the ForzaRC World Championship — and there’s $100,000 on the line.

Polyphony Digital’s hinted at it, confirmed it, and now, we’ve seen it in action. Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is coming to GT Sport, and it will be arriving at the end of this month.

30 of Europe’s fastest GT Sport drivers are about to compete for glory today and tomorrow. Get ready: the European GT Sport FIA Championship is upon us.

We are only a few days away from the release of the Spintires: Mudrunner expansion, American Wilds. Now we are getting our first look at all the new vehicles that will head to the game.

It’s the weekend, and for the fourth time in a row, that means a pair of new cars in Forza Horizon 4. Say hello to the BMW i8 Roadster and the Honda Civic Coupe GRC.

When Polyphony Digital released the schedule for the FIA GT Championship EMEA Regional Finals, we suspected a new track would be revealed at the event — just as the Austrian World Tour introduced Fuji Speedway.

Codemasters continues to keep F1 2018 up to speed with a new update, dubbed 1.12. Now available on all platforms, the latest update resolves a few issues for this year’s F1 racer. The eagle eyed will notice the latest patch skips over a 1.11 update — worry not as the two have rolled into one.
