We’re nearing the end of the shortest month of the year, and that’s got GT Sport fans clamoring for the next update. But when will it be?

It’s been a week of updates for console sim racers. The latest to join the line is Project CARS 2, as Slightly Mad Studios has pushed out updates for it on both consoles.

Amidst all the news about Assetto Corsa Competizione, the folks at Kunos Simulazioni quietly released updates on the console versions of the original game this week.

At the beginning of February, we told you that Focus Home Interactive (FHI) was hinting at a possible US expansion for Spintires: Mudrunner. Now in a recent interview with Gamereactor, Andrey Iones confirmed the new DLC will happen.

For quite a while, we haven’t really heard much about Onrush. The latest racer from Codemasters did have a pre-order incentive detailed recently but outside of a few screenshots there’s been nothing to get the juices flowing. That ends today as we finally get another look at Onrush in action.

Remember when we told you Kunos had big plans for today? Well, here they are: say hello to Assetto Corsa Competizione, the official game of the Blancpain GT Series.

The Specialty Dealer’s stock in FM7 has completed its routine weekly refresh. Like last week, this week offers one new addition to an otherwise repeated lineup. That addition is none other than a Skyline, an R31 to be exact.

GT Sport players have been wondering when the next injection of new cars will arrive. A recent glitch may not answer that, but it could provide a hint of which models players should expect next.

It’s a question almost as old as racing games themselves: which is faster, virtual or real? Honda’s the latest to offer its take, using the latest Civic Type R and Forza Motorsport 7.

The wait is over. After a long saga, Burnout Paradise Remastered is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. EA and Criterion announced the new release of the title earlier today with a brand new trailer.

The latest sales charts for weekly UK retail indicate a good week for Forza Motorsport 7. After dropping out of the top 40 completely, the Xbox and PC exclusive sim made a sizeable return to form.

Polyphony Digital has again stuck to its two-week schedule, updating the GT Sport Mileage Exchange with vehicles.

A new Community Event has been added to Project CARS 2 for players to give a go. This time around, the latest challenge is celebrating the past weekend’s Daytona 500, one of the most prolific events on the NASCAR calendar.

GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series Time Trials are celebrating our 15 year anniversary! On this date in 2003, the first Weekly Race Series Time Trial was posted on the GTPlanet forums. We’re proud to carry on the tradition of those humble beginnings, as we feature weekly Time Trial Events for our registry members to participate in at their leisure.

It’s the Year of the Dog and to celebrate Steam is offering some awesome deals on thousands of games this weekend. Among those games are a plethora of both sim and arcade racing titles, along with other automotive games.

Turn 10 has announced the prize cars for this month’s Community Bounty Hunter events. Not only do they include one of the most popular Porsche models in modern sim racing, but the return of a classic British brand to the franchise.

PlayStation 4 owners may have noticed a sizeable download for Project CARS 2 earlier today. Coming in at just over 11GB, this is update 4.0 for Slightly Mad Studios’ sim racer.

After a pretty average showing at Monte Carlo, I was looking forward to the next challenge in the WRC Esports Championship. Dropping the technical madness of the Monte for a more speedy affair, Germany is certainly a fun drive. I was confident of a better placing at least, and I set a goal to finish in the top 200 in light of this.

Planning on owning all of the cars that came with GT Sport’s 1.11 update late last month? You’re going to want to start saving credits.

The highly requested online free roam is now available for Need for Speed Payback in its latest update. Dubbed “Alldrive: Hangout”, this new feature allows gamers to cruise the streets of Fortune Valley with their friends.
