Polyphony Digital has fired the starter’s pistol for the latest Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6.

Earlier this month many of the rumors surrounding Project Scorpio were finally laid to rest, care of Digital Foundry, who revealed the first in-depth look at the hardware powering the next Xbox.

Once it hits stores sometime this year, Project CARS 2 will arrive with over 60 drivable locations, all of which are going to support complete dynamic weather conditions and daytime changes.

Head of Slightly Mad Studios Ian Bell took to the GTPlanet forum yesterday to tease that the studio behind the Project CARS franchise is working on something brand new — and that there’s a prize involved for whomever can guess what it is.

In an unexpected surprise only one week after a batch of new circuits were revealed, it appears that Autódromo José Carlos Pace (known by its former name of Interlagos) is coming to Gran Turismo Sport later this year.

Information regarding Project CARS 2 has been coming thick and fast since the game’s formal reveal.

When Turn 10 announced a six-year non-exclusive partnership with Porsche last week, gamers wondered if that would put an end to the expensive post-launch DLC approach the manufacturer has been subjected to for years. Dan Greenawalt has confirmed that the Stuttgart sports car maker will now be included in-game from launch.

It’s easy to forget precisely how much work goes into making games these days.

Today is the big day for many Forza Horizon 3 racers around the globe looking to get their hands on one of the many pieces of Stuttgart’s finest up for grabs. In a special one-day only Forzathon, players can earn the much sought-after 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder.

Leading up to this year’s E3 where Project Scorpio is expected to be revealed in full, Microsoft has partnered with Gamasutra to offer an in-depth look at the ways developers can take advantage of the Scorpio XDK to build their games.

If you’ve been chomping at the bit waiting for the Assetto Corsa April console update, then unfortunately you’ll have to wait a little bit longer.

The beloved Stuttgart-based automaker continues to make rounds this week all over the racing game world. Porsche has decided to introduce itself in Gran Turismo Sport, while being reintroduced to the Forza series via a Forza Horizon 3 car pack and as a sponsor for Season 3 of ForzaRC. To make things even better, a couple of Porsches will be up for grabs in this month’s Forzathon events.

Last week Digital Foundry paid a visit to the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington for the first technical overview of the hardware powering the next Xbox, Project Scorpio. While the specs and underlying technology are truly impressive, a real-time demo would only validate the new machine even further. This is where Turn 10’s ForzaTech demo plays a key role.

It’s been quite a week for Gran Turismo fans. European players were invited into the ongoing beta, Porsche finally joined the GT fold, and three new circuits were unveiled. As part of that final bit of news, Polyphony Digital released a batch of wallpaper-friendly images.

After a bit of a winter break, Turn 10 is gearing up for a third season of its Forza Racing Championship. Coinciding with yesterday’s big announcement, this season will be sponsored by Porsche, and it kicks off this weekend.

Last month, GTPlanet had an exclusive look at Thrustmaster’s official Gran Turismo Sport wheel, thanks to an anonymous tipster. The peripheral looks to be the definitive way to experience GT Sport when it releases and thanks to a well-spotted detail on the wheel by a Twitter user, it looks like it will host a very unique advantage over other wheels.

It’s official: Porsche has returned to the Forza series, and unlike before there are no crippling agreements in play. Turn 10 and Porsche have announced an “in-depth six-year partnership” that will include the Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series of games moving forward.

Slightly Mad Studios has just released a trailer giving us a look at one of the most anticipated modes in its upcoming racer Project CARS 2 — Rallycross.

Whoops. After a leak back in January gave away a lot of the upcoming content for Forza Horizon 3, another hole has given us a look at upcoming content. The next car pack is set to be Porsche-themed, with a few surprises mixed in for good measure.
