We’re on the road! The home of British motor racing is the destination, and we want you to come along for the ride.

It’s a discussion that comes up time and again. Some people will swear up and down that the only way to get realism from a driving game is to use a steering wheel and pedals. After all, no-one drives a real car with a PlayStation controller, right?

Following F1 2017’s release, Formula One announced a new esports series with this year’s game at the helm. Partnered with Codemasters and Gfinity, the first season began last month.

Forza Motorsport 7 follows the series tradition of starting players off with (almost) nothing, and having them race to build up their car collection. What it does differently than before, however, is give players a much larger range of starter vehicles.

F1 2017 kicked off this year’s racing game madness for fans of the sport, and is rather impressive by all means. While taking a backseat to this year’s racing behemoth’s, the F1 racer is back with a new update.

Back in May 2016, we got our first look at the Peugeot Vision GT car. The Peugeot L500 R HYbrid was exactly the kind of madness we expected. Now, for the launch of Gran Turismo Sport, Peugeot is updating the L500 with a newer version dubbed the “L750 R HYbird”.

As morning broke yesterday in the UK, a new “Gran Turismo” experience fell into the hands of thousands. The GT Sport demo has been unleashed onto the public, bringing with it a preview of a “new era” for the franchise.

With the Gran Turismo Sport demo now upon us, there has been much discussion surrounding the latest taster of Polyphony Digital’s PS4 racer.

It appears Assetto Corsa has a few tricks up its sleeve as an answer to this year’s sim racing competition. Speaking with RaceDepartment, Kunos’ Stefano Castillo revealed new content is on its way to the racer.

Following last week’s surprise announcement, GT Sport’s four day demo is now live and playable.

Polyphony Digital gave eager players a small gift this weekend. While the features of the new limited-time GT Sport demo won’t go live until tomorrow, the game will still load up before that.

Welcome to Mirror Mode, GTPlanet’s series that shines a spotlight on retro racing games. To commemorate the release of Forza Motorsport 7, we’re revisiting the franchise’s landmark first installment. 

The surprise announcement of a new GT Sport demo is a very exciting development. Previously, only those invited to the closed beta phases got the chance to go hands on but that will change next week.

The latest Forzathon challenges are now live for Forza Horizon 3 players. The focus for this weekend is all on hypercars. Going under the name “Speed Is Key”, the newest challenges will see players putting their foot down in the world’s fastest cars.

Earlier in the week, we got our first look at the complete GT Sport car list.

The International Motor Sports Association kicked off the weekend by announcing a new “strategic alliance” with Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport franchise.

In the latest information blowout for Gran Turismo Sport, Polyphony Digital has released a full rundown on the game’s centerpiece, Sport Mode.

Well that’s a welcome surprise. The Gran Turismo Sport demo is now available for pre-load in certain regions, and while the features are still locked until Monday morning, the in-game “Attract Mode” videos have revealed some goodies early.

When one (digital car) door opens, another closes. With Forza Motorsport 7 now available across the globe, Microsoft has removed the first Xbox One Forza title from its online store.

The GT Sport media floodgates are cracking open further and further. The latest batch of screenshots give us our best look yet at some of the newest additions to the game’s lineup.
