Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of the Gran Turismo series and Senior Vice President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE).

Another patch for Forza Motorsport 7 landed earlier this weekend. It brought various game fixes with it, and perhaps most notably, a return to form.

Thrustmaster has officially taken the covers off its latest steering wheel add-on. It’s a big one, and should be a hit with the rally fans in the sim racing community.

After an insanely busy couple weeks in the world of sim racing, Ghost Games has revealed the full car list for its arcade racer, Need for Speed Payback.

Well, that was quick. After stating that the DLC had reached approval last week, Kunos has revealed a release date for Assetto Corsa’s Ferrari 70th Anniversary Pack. Players will be able to download the new content October 31.

PlayStation Europe has put together this video, featuring father-and-son racers Martin and Alex Brundle, to find out what they think.

Forza Motorsport 7 players were given a small surprise earlier this week. Depending on your tastes, it was either a good or bad one.

Gran Turismo games come with big launch parties. For Gran Turismo 5, Polyphony Digital hosted a swanky event in the City Hall of Madrid. The Gran Turismo 6 event was even larger, consuming the entire city of Ronda, Spain and the nearby Ascari Race Resort.

As we revealed a couple of months ago, there’s a new Vision GT in town, and its from one of the coolest manufacturers ever.

It’s been just over a week since Gran Turismo Sport launched. Earlier today, Polyphony Digital released the third update for the game, bringing it up to version 1.03.

Slightly Mad Studios has pushed out another Community Event in Project CARS 2. This new event will test the skills of even the most veteran of sim racers.

The developer of Assetto Corsa has provided an update on the current status of the console release for it’s latest DLC pack. Kunos Simulazioni’s “70th Anniversary Ferrari Pack” adds a selection of the marque’s finest models and arrived on PCast month. According to a post on the official AC forums, console players may not be too far behind.

It looks like GT Sport is off to a solid sales start, if its first week physical tally in the United Kingdom is anything to go by.

Kylotonn has released a new patch for WRC 7. The official game for the motorsport series is now up to version 1.2 as improvements arrive in the form of camera options and force feedback upgrades. As of the writing of this post, the patch is currently available on PlayStation 4.

Polyphony Digital is renowned for the polish it brings to the GT series. The little touches that make the game so unique are often praised and for GT Sport, it’s no different. When players log into the game on their birthday, they will be gifted a new car for their garage.

Turn 10 kicked off the weekend with additional events for Forza Motorsport 7 players. This includes the first open drift hopper for the game, as well as a hardcore, no-assists Rivals event.

The Sport Mode races, they’re a-changin’. That’s a saying, right?

2017 has shaped up rather nicely for sim racing enthusiasts abroad. With so many racing games now available, there’s something suited to everyone’s taste. Two franchises are of particular notoriety: Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo.

How many things in your life have you kept for 20 years? Even better: how many of these two-decade old items have gone relatively unchanged?

It was only a couple of months ago that Sony revealed a special, limited edition PS4 console for GT Sport.
