One of the most dangerous motorcycle disciplines on the globe is soon going to get its own video game iteration. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is an upcoming motorcycle simulator that aims to let players feel all the peril and excitement of the eponymous event.

Continuing with our hands-on time with some of the racing games from E3 2017, we’re now exploring Forza Motorsport 7.

June has been a busy month for the team at Codemasters. DiRT 4 was released into the public’s hands, Micro Machines: World Tour is due to launch next week and F1 2017 took to the stage for E3. The industry veteran hit Los Angeles to talk about the title and turn some heads with what it has in store this August.

During last year’s E3, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Design Lab, the Redmond team’s online customization tool for Xbox One controllers. At this year’s event, Microsoft announced an expansion to the program, giving users even more customization options.

We got a fair amount of seat time with Gran Turismo Sport at E3 last week. Between catching the latest trailer and interviewing series creator Kazunori Yamauchi (twice), we took in the latest build of Polyphony’s first PS4 game.

Games media outlet GameSpot has posted a new video interview with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. The discussion took place during last week’s E3 expo and includes some notes of interest throughout.

At the end of last year Kunos announced its prospective plans for 2017. While the wait for Laguna Seca continues, a new Assetto Corsa car pack celebrating the 70th anniversary of Ferrari is up next.

Revealed at this year’s E3, Forza Motorsport 7 looks to be Turn 10’s most ambitious effort yet. With an improved campaign mode, over 700 cars, and more, this year’s entry will keep racers busy later this fall.

While we were at E3 2017 last week, we got time behind the wheel of some of this year’s most anticipated games. One of these titles was Project CARS 2, shown off in the Bandai booth. On the show’s first full day, we sat down with Slightly Mad Studios for more info on the game.

Welcome to Mirror Mode, GTPlanet’s new series that shines a spotlight on retro racing games. For our second installment, we’re revisiting one of the most unique sixth-generation driving titles: Auto Modellista.

Polyphony Digital has released a small patch for the Gran Turismo Sport closed beta.

Early last month McLaren-Honda revealed its entry into the world of esports, known as World’s Fastest Gamer. Partnered with peripheral manufacturer Logitech, WFG aims to help the F1 team find the ten fastest gamers in the world.

DiRT 4 always faced a challenging road to release. After the immensely successful DiRT Rally, Codemasters now had two sets of fan to please: the thrill-loving mainline series fans and those enthralled by the hardcore spin-off. The good news then, is that DiRT 4 manages to impress on both sides generally but that doesn’t mean it’s without its blemishes.

Amidst all the madness at E3 last week, 704Games released more info on this year’s officially sanctioned NASCAR game. The good news: the developer seems to be listening to the fans.

At E3 last week, Polyphony Digital treated Gran Turismo fans to a new release window for GT Sport. If “Fall 2017” wasn’t specific enough for you however, it looks like PlayStation has revealed a more exact release date. According to the latest issue of PlayStation Official Magazine UK, the game will launch November 16.

Earlier this week Sector3 Studios unleashed its idea of a Formula One chassis for RaceRoom Racing Experience, the Formula RaceRoom X17. Loosely based on a modern day F1 machine, the X17 ditches the hybrid V6 for an uproarious 3.0-liter V10. The FRX17 joins the Formula Ford, Formula 2, and IndyCar style machinery to complete R3E’s open-wheel offerings.

This year’s Forza Motorsport 7 marks a new chapter for the sim-racing side of the franchise. As you may have heard, FM7 sports an all-new dynamic race weather system.

Image Space Incorporated’s rFactor Pro package has added an exciting new map to its portfolio: the French capital of Paris.

This year’s E3 has come and gone with all the excitement one would expect. For racing game fans, the message was clear: prepare your wallet, as you’ll be spoiled for choice this holiday season.

As the 85th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours heads into the final hours, another race begins in France. The Forza Racing Championship Season 3 grand finale kicks off shortly, with $100,000 in prize money up for grabs.
