In a surprise move, Kunos Simulazioni has announced the next car pack set to arrive for Assetto Corsa. Players won’t have to wait long either: the new cars will be available next week.

Polyphony Digital has revealed the newest challenge held within the ongoing GT Sport closed beta. Dubbed the “Media Cup”, the event has already begun and will run through to the end of this weekend.

The European PlayStation Store is currently offering impressive price reductions for a variety of driving titles on the PS4. With price slashed by up to 77%, these offers will certainly appeal to players seeking bargains before the summer holiday period kicks in.

A recent community update from Assetto Corsa publisher 505 Games has reiterated that the next console update for the game will bring the Highlands fantasy circuit, changes to the driving physics on certain vehicles and two new car variants to the title’s roster.

We’re now in the final month before DiRT 4’s launch. With the game fast approaching, Codemasters has released another Road Book detailing the game’s two handling modes.

Following the launch of the weighty Hot Wheels Expansion for Forza Horizon 3, Playground Games has released a significant update for the PC version of the game, introducing welcome changes to players running the game on lower specifications.

Slightly Mad Studios has unveiled the various pre-order editions of Project CARS 2, with three offerings for European customers that cover a wide spectrum of goodies — and price points. The available options include the Ultra, Collector’s, and Limited Editions.

A surprise blog post on the official series website has revealed the first tidbits of information on Need for Speed 2017.

Today’s the day Forza Horizon 3 players start seeing a lot more orange, as the Hot Wheels Expansion is now available for the open-world racer.

A listing for an ultra-rare PlayStation 1 on eBay is sure to pique long-time Formula 1 fans’ interest.

Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed another powerful addition for Project CARS 2. Say hello to the BMW M6 GT3, a track-oriented machine specifically developed for the FIA GT3 class regulations.

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.
