The latest Forza Motorsport 7 update has landed. Weighing in at 756MB on Xbox One, it’s a comprehensive one, with wide-ranging changes to Turn 10’s sim racer.

Those of you familiar with GT Sport know that there is a weekly scheduled server maintenance period. Every Wednesday, at 0500 UTC, Polyphony Digital flips the switch to turn the server off, turning it back on again two hours later.

Right on cue, Polyphony Digital has updated the Mileage Exchange. As expected, it’s all-change this week, bringing different cars along with all the other items. It’s a well established major/minor update cycle that shows no sign of changing.

Did you catch all the action at the British Grand Prix last weekend? Raring to set your own open-wheel lap time around Silverstone? Slightly Mad Studios has lined up a new Project CARS 2 community event that you should find appealing, then.

Summer is traditionally the season of vacations. How appropriate then, that Polyphony has put out another teaser for the upcoming GT Sport July update: It looks like players will be heading to the south of France.

We know that Forza Horizon 4 is taking players to the United Kingdom. However, the UK is a big place and we aren’t really sure where on the island the game takes place. Now, thanks to video from IGN we have a better understanding.

Fans of NASCAR, get ready. NASCAR Heat 3 is launching September 7, and it’s introducing dirt track racing on the road to the cup.

Recently, the gaming site IGN sat down with the guys at Playground Games to take a closer look at Forza Horizon 4.

Much to our wallet’s rejoicing, the Steam Summer Sale is at an end. To mark the occasion, along with the halfway point through the year, Steam also put out a list of its 40 best selling games of 2018.

Polyphony has taken to Twitter to confirm the next major game update for GT Sport is coming at the end of July. With this, we see a brief glimpse of what could be a new track — or a returning classic.

Do you hear that? It’s the swelling rumble of cheers from the Forza community. After almost a year, Turn 10 is changing one of the more controversial aspects of Forza Motorsport 7, by unlocking (nearly) all the 700+ cars for purchase.

If you’ve been doing online races in Gran Turismo Sport recently, chances are you’ve noticed something new.

We’re back! The last livery competition, like the ones before, was a huge success. Community member JKCreativeworks set a creative theme that was followed up by a track day with the liveries made for the competition.

Codemasters has shown off the first episode in a new dev diary series for F1 2018. In it, Lee Mather discusses the expanded career mode, and how players’ off-track performances can influence the experience on-track.

Summer is well and truly here. That means serious deals on games, before the onslaught of new releases in autumn. The PlayStation Store is the latest to slash prices, and there’s plenty of gold here for racing fans.

We’re less than two months out from the release of this year’s official F1 game. With a general idea of what’s in store thus far, F1 2018 packs a punch. Fans of the sport will finally being able to get their hands on the Brawn BGP-001 and Williams FW25.

The final round of the F1 triple header is set for this weekend. While the Austrian GP was chaotic in its own right, Haas walked away with its best performance to date. As such, Kevin Magnussen is here to take us along for a lap around Silverstone.

Remember World’s Fastest Gamer? It was McLaren’s 2017 esport initiative, which promised a coveted role as the brand’s simulator test driver. Thousands vied for the spot, and in the end, Netherland’s Rudy van Buren came out on top.

You know what time it is: the Specialty Dealer in Forza 7 has seen another weekly refresh. With it comes an all-new lineup featuring two cars you’ll definitely want to sweep up.

It’s been a while since we heard about Dakar 18. After the original announcement (which coincided with the real-world event), developer Bigmoon Entertainment has been hard at work to nail a more specific release date for this year.
