Serious racing game players have some serious set-ups. We’re not just talking about a driving wheel clamped to a desk in a spare bedroom either. No, we mean full-on Gran Turismo driving pods, and half of an Opel Astra.

There’s a new set of three races for you to take part in this week, with a first appearance for some of the latest game content.

Fanatec has announced some changes to its upcoming Podium Series of high-end sim racing hardware. These include a bigger, more powerful engine at its heart — and corresponding price increase.

We’re back with more footage of the upcoming F1 2019. Following on from the earlier F1 lap at night, it’s back to Bahrain for the first gameplay clip of this year’s new Formula 2 class.

It’s May, and that means the full release of Assetto Corsa Competizione is just around the corner. Ahead of its May 29 launch, developer Kunos Simulazioni has shared images of the laser-scanned version of Brands Hatch.

We continue our coverage of F1 2019’s first media hands-on event with a handful of gameplay videos from the title. These will include players’ first real look at the new Formula 2 class, but first, here’s a showcase of the game’s improved night-time visuals.

We were lucky enough to get our grubby mitts on F1 2019 earlier this week. Codemasters invited us to Hamburg to try it, and while we put in as much time behind the wheel as we could — impressions coming soon — we also got a rare chance to talk to the team behind the title.

In a preview event earlier this week, Codemasters gave the assembled media — including GTPlanet — its first hands-on experience with F1 2019. We also heard about new features coming to this year’s title, including a very in-depth multiplayer league system.

At this year’s Baikal Ice Motor Sports Festival, Jeep proved that its Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the fastest SUV in the world. Well, on ice at least.

The snow has melted once again, and Spring has taken its place in Forza Horizon 4. The latest batch of content and events will continue to keep players busy for this week.

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

Given the time and money Toyota has spent on developing the new GR Supra, you’d have to be nuts to challenge it to a race. Specifically, you’d have to be peanuts.

Slightly Mad Studios took much of the gaming world by surprise in January when it announced it would produce its own console.

The next Forza Monthly live stream, scheduled for May 7, just got even more exciting. As we reported last month, information about the “next Forza Motorsport” is set to be revealed on the show, and now it appears there is even more to look forward to with a special feature on an IndyCar legend.

The Mercedes-Benz X-Class is not a bad truck. However, if you’re a fan of vintage trucks it’s not really something you’d give a second glance to. This week’s Want fixes this though. With the body of a Ford F100 and the soul of an SLK, it’s where Americana and Euro-style clash.

Last autumn I started the journey of fatherhood. If you have kids yourself, you know what this means. If you don’t though, the best way I describe it is your entire world gets turned upside-down in the best way possible.

Aston Martin has revealed the new, higher performance version of its entry-level Vantage — and, importantly, its manual gearbox.

We’re only five weeks away from the launch of the 2019 version of the official MotoGP game, and developer Milestone has treated us to a first gameplay video.

It should come as no surprise to anyone to learn that the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is fast. A sub-seven-minute lap of the Nurburgring is not within reach of many cars, but the GT2 RS blows that mark out of the water.

Toyota has a bit of a love affair with the Nurburgring. It’s far from alone, but when it tags its top tier sports cars with the “Meisters of the Nurburgring” badge, you know it means business.
