2018 GT Sport Nations Cup champion Igor Fraga is continuing his real-world motorsports development. To start the 2020 season, he’s heading down to New Zealand to race in the Toyota Racing Series.
Peugeot has confirmed plans to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2022 with a new hypercar programme. Parent company Groupe PSA revealed the good news on Wednesday morning. The brief statement confirms its intentions to not only compete in Le Mans, but to contest in the 2022 World Endurance Championship (WEC) as a whole.
Defending GT Sport World Champion Igor Fraga put in an impressive showing in Italy over the weekend to round out his Formula Regional Championship season in style.
It’s the sort of story we’ve heard before, yet we’ll never get tired of. An established sim racer will be moving up in the world of real motorsport this weekend. In this case, its Toro Rosso Esports F1 driver Cem Bolukbasi.
It seems like only yesterday that Chevrolet revealed its new, mid-engined Corvette. The “C8” generation (that’s shorthand for Corvette, eighth-generation) of Corvette became the first in the brand’s history to have the engine not only fully behind the front axle, but behind the driver too.
This weekend marks the 71st running of the 24 Hours of Spa, and those of us with an interest in the virtual world might want to keep an eye on the action.
In F1, every second — or, for that matter, every hundredth of a second — counts. Teams spend tens of millions researching new components and new ways of directing air flow to gain a few yards on the track. It’s the difference between pole position and third on the grid on a Saturday, and that can decide the race the next day.
If you want to experience the most challenging racing around, you need to leave the race track behind. We don’t mean taking to the skies, but getting away from the safety and sterility of the millpond smooth asphalt, catch fencing and gravel traps of circuit and street racing.
In what can only be described as a titanic effort, Team GTPlanet x Hooncorp finished the 2019 24 Hours Of Lemons New Zealand! Not only that, but we finished 22nd despite starting dead last, suffering a high speed crash, and battling some much faster cars.
The 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans is likely to mark an end for many programs. It’ll be the last race of the 2018-19 FIA World Endurance Championship “super-season”, and with a significant rule change coming for 2020 it may be the last we see of some cars.
With the 2019 ADAC Total Nurburgring 24 Hours (and the GT Sport World Tour event) just five weeks away, preparations are well underway. This past weekend saw the six-hour qualification race for the main event, and it yielded a victor that will be familiar to racing game fans.
Making idle bets on Twitter is never a good idea. This is something that Busch Beer — the official beer of NASCAR (because that’s a thing) — forgot when it laid down a marker last November.
