A year is a long time on the internet. In the 12 months since our last GTPlanet Awards, we’ve seen dozens of game titles announced and released, the motor industry has moved on apace (but we still don’t have a new Toyota Supra), and GTPlanet has seen hundreds of thousands of forum posts fly by.

January 3 is the day that Michael Schumacher turns 50. To mark the record-holding Ferrari world champion driver’s birthday, Ferrari has opened a new special exhibition dedicated to his life and achievements with the brand.

Whenever I see an alert telling me Race Sim Studio have released a new car, there’s this excitement that runs through my body. RSS is, in my opinion, the best modding team around. Everything it has released has been of a quality you’d expect from a game developer. I could make an argument for some of its mods being better than official Assetto Corsa content.

If we have one suggestion for a New Year’s resolution, it’s to buy a race car. Why? Because race car of course! If you share the same sentiment as us, then this Wednesday Want is for you. In it, we will take a look at a few vehicles currently for sale to help get you behind the wheel of a racing machine.

We’re filing this as the first major surprise of 2019. Sim racing developer Slightly Mad Studios has a new project: an entire console platform.

Slightly Mad Studios’ CEO has been busy on our forums as of late. Not only did he confirm the team was working on Project CARS 3 last month — now he’s offered clarification on the nature of the upcoming title.

A new drifting simulator is on the horizon. Called Drift 19, it hopes to be the most realistic smoking and sideways experience around.

Another year is wrapping up. We’re mere hours away from 2019, and thus, we’re looking back on what the last 12 months have given us in the gaming world.

In a post here on GTPlanet, Slightly Mad Studios founder and CEO Ian Bell has confirmed the design direction of the next Project CARS game.

If you’re laying out a couple of million dollars for a 250mph “Hyper GT”, odds are you’re not going to want to park next to an identical one.

It seems like just yesterday we were looking at the 2017 Automotive Year in Review. Now in a blink of an eye, we’re closing in on the ending of 2018.

Back in July, Steam gave an update on the best selling games through the mid-point of the year. Now that 2018 is coming to a close, it’s released a list of the year’s top 100 best selling games.

Technical presentations recently published by Polyphony Digital engineers have given us a fascinating look at the work that goes on behind the scenes at the secretive development studio.

Bruce McLaren took his maiden win for his own team in June 1968. Driving an M7A, McLaren became only the third ever driver to win an F1 race in their own car. That race, at Spa-Francorchamps, was the first step for a team that would go on to win 20 F1 driver and constructor titles to date.

It’s that time of the week once again. A new season sweeps into Forza Horizon 4, with new races and prizes to be had.

Gran Turismo Sport will be one of the games to feature at the first esports competition in the history of Japan’s National Sports Festival next year.

Vehicle security is one of those things that’s always on the move. As well it should too; car thieves adapt to new security technology very quickly.

If you want to own a piece of Gran Turismo history, now’s your chance. At the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Art Morrison Enterprises (AME) 3G Corvette will cross the block. This makes it a perfect candidate for this week’s Want.
