Codemasters will remain the exclusive games developer of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship until 2025, according to a post on its official blog.

In recent months, Polyphony Digital has been adding a new wet weather condition variant to a number of GT Sport’s tracks.

“More like a support race instead of the main event.” That was GTPlanet’s verdict on GRID upon its release a few short weeks ago. While the reboot of Codemasters’ beloved circuit racer retains the visceral on-track thrills you expect from the franchise, it lacks the substance to match its style.

After almost a fortnight of hard-fought competition, British gamer James Baldwin has taken the crown of World’s Fastest Gamer.

When the Bloodhound project hit the skids in 2018, we were a bit disheartened to say the least. Alongside using the latest technologies, and actually inventing more, to create a car to drive to Mach 1.35, it stood to be the most public feat of extreme engineering the world has ever seen.
