After months of rumors, Formula One has confirmed that Circuit Zandvoort will return to the season calendar next year.

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.

Fans looking to watch live coverage of the 2019 Autobacs Super GT season will have to wait no more.

If the recent slew of Super Formula content in GT Sport has got your attention, then there’s some good news from Japan.

Another esport driver has made the jump to real-world competition. This past weekend, two-time Formula 1 Esports champion Brendon Leigh completed a trio of Formula Ford races at England’s Snetterton circuit.

Busy times here at the Hooncorp HQ! With three weeks to go until the famed 24 Hours of Lemons NZ, we can now announce the lineup of drivers who will be racing under the Hooncorp x GTPlanet banner.

This May, the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 will see a familiar name back at the Brickyard.

Fangio and Maserati. Clark and Lotus. Senna and McLaren. Certain pairings of names are famous in Formula One, with one modern duo standing out: Schumacher and Ferrari. And come next week, we’ll see them together again.

Brazil’s Igor Fraga is going to have a busy schedule this year. Not only will he be defending his title in the 2019 FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Championship, he’ll be duking it out on track in a full-blown open-wheel race car.

There’s another change coming to the Formula 1 rules for 2019, but this time it’s all about scoring points.

Precious few people have even got the chance to drive the new Toyota Supra road car yet, but already there’s three race car versions. Next week at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Toyota will add a fourth: the GR Supra GT4 Concept.

You can’t keep a fast driver out of a race car for long. Original GT Academy champion Lucas Ordonez’ name will be back on a car this summer, joining the crew from Crewe in the Bentley Continental GT3.

Last year, F1 revealed it was to partner with Netflix for a 10-part documentary series based on the 2018 season. Netflix officially revealed the title of the series this morning, Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

Over the last week and a bit, all of the F1 teams racing in 2019 have revealed their cars.

Things have been a little quiet on the GT Academy front recently. As GT Sport’s full esports competition got into action, the gamer-to-racer program seemed to wither somewhat.

Although Nissan is shaking up its motorsports program for 2019, one driver who’s going nowhere for now is Jann Mardenborough.

Formula One is a sport right at the cutting edge of technology. The systems and materials used on today’s race cars will inevitably reach the road in a few years — or sooner, in some cases.

You’d think that, by now, the idea that sim racers might be pretty handy with real cars would have sunk in. It’s been over a decade since Lucas Ordonez won GT Academy, and he’s had a class podium at Le Mans among other career highlights.

When you think of great manufacturers of rally cars, Porsche might not be the first name to spring to mind. Even if you’re a Porsche enthusiast, it’ll be more familiar as a brand with a second-to-none race track heritage.

We’re pretty big fans of the current Veloster here at GTPlanet. We’ve driven it in warm Turbo and genuinely hot N form and liked ’em both. But Hyundai’s gone and created another model that makes both look super tame.
