A new Thrustmaster peripheral has started to appear on various European online retailers. Product pages for the Thrustmaster “T700” and “T700 GT Edition” have been popping up online, and the correlation of price and product names between the pages suggest this is no mistake.

To start off May, another free Porsche is being offered to Forza Horizon 3 racers for a short time, with even more to come later in the month. Titled “Doing It For The Fans,” this weekend’s Forzathon prize is likely to put a grin on the face of car history buffs.

Project Cars fans were given a treat back in March. Following the reveal of the McLaren 720S at the Geneva Motor Show, Slightly Mad Studios announced the British supercar would be coming to the next installment of the dev’s racing franchise.

After initially teasing it last month, CEO Ian Bell has divulged further hints about Slightly Mad Studios’ new unannounced franchise.

2017 is shaping up to be a massive year for racing games, in part due to the sudden (and very welcome) availability of Porsche across the genre. On the face of it this is great news, but one manufacturer seems increasingly rare on the car lists of upcoming games: Ruf Automobile.

Following a short spell of mystery and intrigue, McLaren-Honda has revealed that it has entered the world of esports.

You’d have been forgiven for thinking that last month’s announcement of a partnership between Logitech and McLaren-Honda would amount to little more than a name on a car.

May has begun. Sure enough, the beginning of the month has brought with it three new Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6.

Turn 10 Creative Director Dan Greenawalt has joined forces with the Xbox Design Lab to create his ideal motorsport-flavored Xbox One controller.

Polyphony Digital has pushed out an update for the Gran Turismo Sport closed beta. The update addresses numerous issues, and weighs in at a whopping 9.8GB.

New car packs are usually released on the first Tuesday of the month in the Forza world. That’s not going to be the case for May, and there is a valid reason why.

One criticism often leveled at Gran Turismo regards its sounds, with Kazunori Yamauchi himself apologizing for the audio quality. A promise of change has proven to be true for the latest iteration of the series, at least in this early beta phase.

The Porsche party seems to be never-ending. After Porsche basically became the mascot for April’s Forzathon events, May looks like it will be continuing the trend. That’s not to say receiving these German beauties for free is a bad thing, though. Let’s take a peek at what Forza Horizon 3 players can look forward to in the upcoming weeks.

Assetto Corsa console players are going to need to exercise just a little bit more patience. The upcoming update for the title has fallen prey to various submission blocking issues, according to the official Facebook page.

Studio 397 has released a substantial beta for PC sim rFactor 2 today. We’ve got a detailed breakdown of what racers can expect from the update, care of Dom Duhan.

Fresh off the release of a muddy new experience, iRacing is expanding into another discipline, one for those players seeking challenges outside of fixed online schedules: Time Attack.

Jeff Gordon — the man who coached players through Gran Turismo 5’s NASCAR School and is seen as one of the greatest racers in the sport — has learned what the big deal is about racing simulators.

Gran Turismo Sport is set to arrive later this year. While Kazunori Yamauchi says the game could be called GT7, it bucks the numbered-title trend. This has inspired us to take a look back at the first spin-off titles in the long-running franchise: the Gran Turismo Concept trilogy.

The grand finale of a month packed with Porsches in Forza Horizon 3 has arrived. “Horizon Secret Service” is the last Forzathon of April, and marks another opportunity to obtain a part of the German manufacturer’s lineup at no additional cost.

Last week, Team VVV was fortunate enough to get some seat time with Project CARS 2, testing out the recently announced inclusion of the Red Bull Ring. There was a catch though: recorded video would be done with a controller instead of the expected sim racing rig.
