Mazda will join the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar with a new straight-six engine in the near future. The Japanese brand announced the new engine model, including a diesel version, in its 2019 fiscal year financial report.

The Kunos Simulazioni team is back with more teases for Assetto Corsa Competizione. After last week’s peek at Brands Hatch, we’re back in the UK with the Home of British Motor Racing: Silverstone.

This week’s Time Extend kicks off with a chat about a game Brendan and I are very excited for — the Switch release of Sega’s arcade classic Virtua Racing. It’s without question the finest port yet of one of the most influential racers ever made, and we’ve definitely been bitten by the hot-lapping bug in the quest to improve our fastest times (especially around that tricky Bay Bridge circuit).

At its “What’s Next” presentation last month, Focus Home Interactive (FHI) showed off Mudrunner 2. Now, the company is finally giving us some official details about its upcoming game.

There’s not much we like more than a good restomod. Old school looks and feel but with the latest and greatest in modern car powertrains and suspension? It’s a fantastic recipe.

The sun is out again, which can only mean one thing. Summer is back on Forza Horizon 4. A new selection of content is also available alongside new events.

A new special Bounty Hunter challenge is available for players in Forza Motorsport 7. Hot on the heels of the May IndyCar update, Turn 10 has announced the event to celebrate the upcoming Indianapolis 500.

Formula One world champion Jenson Button has claimed another record at Australia’s Mount Panorama circuit. The 2009 winner and reigning Super GT champion drove Honda’s Civic Type R to set the fastest lap for a front-wheel drive production car at the 3.86-mile track.

Welcome to the 100th edition of the Wednesday Want! To celebrate in style we are once again bringing you a piece of Gran Turismo history. However, unlike the Art Morrison Corvette and the ‘51 Ford Coupe, this car is not from the GT Awards. Instead, it has an important connection to GT Academy.

The Mileage Exchange — or MiEx for short — in GT Sport is an in-game store that carries some things that are invaluable for making your car your own. You exchange your mileage (Mi) points that you gain from driving for the items within, hence the name.

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.

The latest update for Forza Motorsport 7 is here and this month’s theme is all IndyCar. Featuring cars from the past and present, plus a rather sporty pace car, it packs some fantastic content. Even better it’s all completely free too.

Playground Games has shown off the next round of updates coming to Forza Horizon 4. Dubbed Series 9, it will introduce a variety of cars and content for players to experience around Britain.

It’s been two weeks since the last DiRT Rally 2.0 DLC, which means a new batch of content is ready for sim racers.

McLaren is continuing to tease us with glimpses of its new car. We’ve seen it in various camouflaged guises in recent weeks, including at the Geneva Motor Show, but now the dazzle wrap has come off.

Finding an original film car is something special. More often than not, the cars are crushed or traded away only to end up on a ranch in New Mexico. So when one turns up it’s pretty cool. It’s even cooler when that car is the original Lamborghini Miura P400 from the film The Italian Job.

We’re always excited when any new car is making its way to Gran Turismo. When it’s a SEMA GT Award-winner, it’s even more exciting. These are cars which aren’t just some stamped-out piece of metal or carbon-fiber, but unique pieces of automotive art made with a passion by a small group — or even just one person.

I’m facing the wrong way. Again.

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.
