Players looking to snag Codemasters latest rally game are in for a treat this week. Well, at least in North America.

A new video provides an easy and direct comparison of just how accurate the daunting Green Hell is in GT Sport.

The final garage update for Forza Motorsport 7 has focused on the selection of racing cars included in the title. The range of vehicles revealed varies from classic icons straight through to modern powerhouses. The biggest standout aspect of the list is the lack of new additions.

Two of the most anticipated racing games of 2017, Forza Motorsport 7 and Project CARS 2, scooped prizes at the Gamescom awards ceremony this year. With 21 categories covering a wide variety of games, both claimed one award each in their respective genre categories.

Turn 10 has confirmed that the latest Forza Motorsport title will incorporate the use of in-game loot boxes. Confirmation comes by way of AR12 Gaming, who attended a Gamescom discussion on FM7 that brought up the topic. The incorporation of this feature is a first for the series.

Fanatec has taken the wraps off its latest steering wheel. The CSL Elite P1 is the Xbox equivalent of its first officially-licensed PS4 wheel.

The past week was an eventful one for F1 fans with the release of F1 2017 and the sport’s return. This year’s F1 racer is arguably the best installment in the series yet and offers fans a wealth of content. For those still on the fence, we reviewed the game and have a high opinion of it.

Gamescom 2017 is over. Thousands of people passed through the doors of the Koelnmesse last week — including the German Chancellor.

North American racing game fans looking for a good deal should act fast this weekend. The PlayStation Store’s monthly flash sale is live, and there are some solid options for less than a tenner.

Next month’s Xbox Live Games With Gold will feature Forza Motorsport 5. Announced by Major Nelson, players will be able to pick up the title for free from September 1 to 30. This marks the first time Microsoft has made a current generation Forza title free on the service.

F1 2017 launches today, and we think it’s a fantastic game. It’s a must-buy for any fan of the series or sport itself since it’s the most feature-packed edition yet. But, what if you know nothing about F1? Could F1 2017 be good enough to capture the attention of any fan of racing games in general? We set off to find out.

The wait is finally over. F1 2017 is now available on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC platforms. The timing is perfect as the sport returns from its summer break for the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend.

The journalists at Gamescom’s press day earlier this week may have been a bit surprised to see a member of the political elite in their midst. Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel, dropped in on the games show in Cologne.

One of the more exciting aspects of Forza Motorsport 7 will be its redesigned career mode. The previous two titles have been serviceable in this department but paled in comparison to the 360 era titles. A new video uploaded by MotoGamesTV has given us our first glimpse of what Forza 7’s campaign is all about.

The boys at Slightly Mad Studios have provided yet more details on the online aspects of Project CARS 2. The news, covering esports and multiplayer options, comes courtesy of the last official live stream.

Turn 10 and Playground Games have treated Forza Horizon 3 players to a much longer set of Forzathon challenges this week. In celebration of Gamescom kicking off in Cologne, the event offers a handful of new items.

A fan-created video has given us a comprehensive overview of all of GT Sport’s various time of day settings.

Project CARS 2 is now out in the wild. With the car list all known, we wanted to turn attention to the list of circuits players will get to enjoy.

Microsoft spilled more details regarding the Xbox One X this week at Gamescom. Among the news was a list of about 120 titles the new console will enhance. Fortunately for us, more than a couple of those happen to be racing games.

While Gamescom has kicked off, Turn 10 has continued its weekly tradition of car reveals for Forza Motorsport 7. It’s safe to say this week’s is a little different, however.
