UPDATE: The original Instagram post by Girardo & Co has been deleted.

PC players of Project CARS 2 found a surprise this morning. Slightly Mad Studios has pushed out the latest update — dubbed 5.0 — on the platform first, and it comes with a bonus car.

After many rounds of online qualifying, the DiRT Esports World Championships is reaching its final stages. 36 drivers have made the cut for the next phase of competition and it’s only going to heat up from here.

It appears 2017’s F1 esports championship was only a taster. Earlier today, Formula One announced the 2018 competition, and it promises to be an even bigger event than last year.

The latest update to Forza 7’s Specialty Dealer has shuffled its stock once again. As we’ve no doubt come to expect, the repeats continue unabated.

The latest round of the WRC Esports Championship is now live. After a frantic trip to Barcelona, the calendar shifts over to France for one of the toughest challenges so far.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Sony has taken mercy on players (and its servers, probably). The full 24GB download is no more: v1.16 weighs in at an otherwise normal 107MB. If your original gargantuan download is still going, simply cancel it and start the update process again to get the single most current patch. The rest of the article is from its original publishing.

The biggest esport initiative in Forza history has started. With over $250,000 in prizes up for grabs, the 2018 Forza Racing Championship season should provide plenty of close racing.

With less than week until its reveal, Audi has shown a new glimpse of its upcoming Vision GT car.

With the first quarter of 2018 done and dusted, Xbox is kicking off Spring with a sale. Naturally this means plenty of savings in our favorite genre, and we’ve collected all the best deals here.

The updates to GT Sport are coming thick and fast this Spring. Hot on the heels of the v1.15 content update, we’re due another patch this week.

Right on cue, Polyphony Digital has update the GT Sport Mileage Exchange update, bringing fresh paint and a change to vehicle offerings.

Is it April already? According to the calendar, and a bunch of bizarre automotive news bits, it is.

This week’s Project CARS 2 Community Event is now live. After a fairly mental karting challenge at the Nurburgring, this week returns to a more simple combo: take the wheel of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE on Silverstone for a British showdown.

On days like today, Fox Mulder’s “trust no one” warning feels especially relevant. It’s April Fools’, and that means plenty of tall tales. The crew at Turn 10 is embracing the trickster attitude however, with a variety of silly events opening up in Forza Motorsport 7 today.

Amongst the many goodies included in the latest GT Sport update, one was especially welcome for sim enthusiasts. Fanatec’s fantastic CSL Elite wheel is now officially supported by the title. It’s a big deal for those who own the wheel and now potential buyers have an even stronger case to pick one up. Fanatec is going one step further too, with a special Easter deal this week for the peripheral.

The smell of burnt tires is in the air. The 2018 Formula D season starts in a week, and we’ve teamed up with one of the stars of the show to bring his newest car to GT Sport ahead of time.

Now that’s certainly unexpected. The latest GT Sport update brought Tsukuba to the party, and with it, a subtle ad… for another sim racer.

We’ve got our first hint of what’s next in the world of Forza Motorsport 7. The next seven-car pack (and game update) arrives April 10, and it will feature a very powerful ’80s Nissan prototype.

Milestone has announced that the latest entry in the MotoGP series will arrive this summer. Reaching players on June 7, MotoGP 18 promises to be a big step forward for the franchise with new features, more accurate tracks and a new engine powering the title.
