Just yesterday we learned that GT Sport would be receiving another update at a very unusual time, falling in the early Saturday morning hours for most of the world.

It looks like the GT Sport patches are coming thick and fast, with an announcement of a second update this week.

Gran Turismo is set to announce a series of collaborations with three of the most prominent “streetwear” clothing brands on December 9.

Forza Motorsport 7 has been crowned the best Sports/Racing game at The Game Awards 2017. The announcement was made during the pre-show for the awards ceremony.

It’s been quite a “dirty” year for the iRacing crew. 2017 started off with the announcement of dirt oval racing, and we learned over the summer that rallycross would also be coming to the service.

As you’ve probably heard, Forza 7’s curiously-named “Doritos Car Pack” went live on Tuesday. Of course, nothing says “Doritos” quite like “old cars”, which is most of what you get in this latest update.

As the Porsche 911 RSR unexpectedly landed in Forza 7 this week, the vehicle has become a new comparison point between the generation’s top racing games. The RSR is now widely available to drive in the genre, appearing in GT Sport, Assetto Corsa and of course, Forza 7. Comparison expert MotogamesTV has put each title up against each other in a new video.

As we draw closer to year’s end, Kunos has one final trick up its sleeve for Assetto Corsa: “Bonus Pack 3” touches down on December 20. The free content pack — consider it an early Christmas gift — will include a new track, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Codemasters has launched a new update for DiRT 4 bringing many fan-requested changes to the title. The news front has been quiet recently for the rally racer, but players can download the new version right now.

Back in October, Microsoft and Porsche invited us to Silverstone circuit in the UK to get some seat time with the modern sports car lineup, as well as the Xbox One X-powered version of Forza Motorsport 7. It was a lot of fun, not only to hear more on the franchise’s future from Dan Greenawalt, but also to experience these sports cars on the track.

This week is all about the land of baguettes, wine, and great electronic music. That’s right, the GTPlanet GT Sport Photo Mode Competition is heading to France.

As revealed yesterday, the latest update for GT Sport has gone live overnight.

There’s another set of cars in the Forza Motorsport 7 Specialty Dealer. This time around, you’ll want to make sure you’re well-stocked with credits before visiting, though.

It’s no secret that the recent increase in GT Sport copies sold in the UK has been impressive. Claims of an 800%+ boost in week-on-week sales numbers during Black Friday only told half the story.

It seems Turn 10 has quietly snuck Porsche’s mid-engine track weapon into Forza Motorsport 7.

Another week has passed, and so the Mileage Exchange has updated with items you can buy with your hard-earned points.

Microsoft has just revealed the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 7. Dubbed the “Doritos Car Pack”, it brings seven new vehicles to the game, covering a whopping 90 years of automotive history.

Gran Turismo Sport users are waking up this morning to an unusual in-game notice. It advises that Polyphony Digital will patch the game with an “emergency update”.

We’re into the final month of the year now. With a new week comes a new Forza Motorsport 7 Photo Mode Competition. Read on for all the details on this week’s theme, as well as the latest poll.

Despite a large software falloff in the wake of Black Friday, two sim racing titles placed in the UK Top 10 sellers list last week. Gran Turismo Sport and Forza Motorsport 7 continue their strong performance in the region as seen in previous weeks.
