Brazil’s Igor Fraga, 2018 GT Sport World Champion, has finally nabbed his first point of his FIA Formula 3 career, courtesy of a fight-back and a slice of luck.

The 2018 GT Sport world champion Igor Fraga has had another weekend to forget in FIA Formula 3, after his car broke down during the sprint race at Silverstone.

Top-tier electric racing series Formula E is going to take a leaf out of the video game book and run a reverse direction circuit race to close out the season.

A third-lap incident in the FIA Formula 3 race at the Hungaroring robbed GT Sport world champion Igor Fraga of his first chance to score points this season.

As you can see from the image above, you’re soon going to see the Gran Turismo name plastered all over a new race car. For many fans, this is a sure sign that a car might be coming to a GT game at some point in the future — and it’s certainly something blowing up on social media — but we’re going to sound a note of caution.

Spielberg has not proven a happy hunting ground for 2018 GT Sport world champion, and 2020 Toyota Racing Series champion Igor Fraga. For the second time in a week, the Brazilian has come away from Austria’s Red Bull Ring without a point to show for his efforts, thanks to technical issues with his Charouz.

2018’s GT Sport World Champion Igor Fraga made his debut in FIA Formula 3 this weekend, and it’s safe to say that not everything went quite to plan.

It seems like months since we found out that 2018 GT Sport World Champion Igor Fraga would be making his FIA Formula 3 debut, but at long last it’s taking place this weekend.

The 2020 Formula 3 season finally begins in Austria this weekend, and with it comes a new chapter for Gran Turismo World Champion Igor Fraga.

The F1 world is in quite some disarray right now, with races cancelled and postponed all over the place. It’s all just got a little bit more chaotic with an extremely early start to the “silly season” of driver contracts, as Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel have jointly announced they are to part ways at the end of this season — before the first race of the season.

While GT Academy produced a number of successful racing drivers over the years, they all focused on a single discipline: circuit racing. One thing it never produced was a rally champion, but that might be about to change.

It’s been pretty hard to miss that there’s no motorsport on the TV right now. With teams, drivers, broadcasters, and fans all stuck at home, racing is impossible. The virtual world has been filling in, but there’s only so much it can do.

The virtual world hasn’t proven the best place for some racing drivers to ply their trade recently. Last weekend, NASCAR Cup Series driver Bubba Wallace lost a real world sponsor for his behavior on the digital track. This week it’s Kyle Larson, who’s one-upped Wallace by getting suspended by both his team and NASCAR itself.

Motorsport is proving just about impossible to stage right now, with quarantine measures, travel restrictions, and even just concern for the safety of drivers, team personnel and fans. With the backdrop of the current global climate, esports has really started to take its chance to shine.

The coronavirus outbreak continues to have an adverse effect on the motorsport calendar in 2020. Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) has now confirmed that the 88th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the latest event on the shelf, as efforts to curb the spread of the disease continue to ramp up.

The measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 across Europe are stepping up a notch this week, impacting more of our favorite events. This time it’s the Nurburgring 24 Hour race that’s on the shelf, and it may have further consequences.

GT Sport and reigning Toyota Racing Series champion Igor Fraga has joined the Red Bull Racing teams Junior driver program for the 2020 season.

One of the many things we were looking forward to this year on GTPlanet was Igor Fraga’s debut in the FIA Formula 3 championship.

Update: Formula 1 has now confirmed that it has cancelled the event, by agreement with the teams, the FIA, and the race promoter AGPC. You can see the official statement at the end of the article. The original article continues below:

If you were looking forward to watching Aston Martin’s Valkyrie compete in next season’s World Endurance Championship, including Le Mans, we’ve got some bad news for you. As of today, Aston has withdrawn its entry for the 2020-2021 season, while it “considers” its future participation.
