It’s hard to believe it’s already been just over one year since Eden Games ported its popular mobile racer, Gear.Club, to the Switch. With its release, Nintendo’s hybrid console received its first semi-realistic racer — if “semi-realistic” can be defined by an absence of hovercrafts and cartoon mischief.

Pfaff and WorldGaming are back with another Canadian esport initiative this year. And this time the grand prize isn’t a trip to a race weekend — you could be the one behind the wheel of a race car.

A very brief lull in the proceedings at the 2018 FIA-Certified GT Sport World Finals allowed GTPlanet to catch up with series founder Kazunori Yamauchi.

The Suzuki Jimny has always been one of those cars. It’s the kind of car that those in the know love, despite many glaring flaws that put off regular folk – like Land Rover’s venerable Defender, or the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. In fact it’s a lot like the Defender and G-Class in many ways, only at one-third scale…

Even as Igor Fraga’s champagne is probably still chilled, Polyphony Digital has announced some significant format changes for Sport Mode, affecting the 2019 FIA Online Championship. The announcement, on the official website, details how PD’s planning to alter to how it organizes its signature feature.

Gran Turismo Sport has received the title of “Best Audio Design” from the 2018 TIGA Games Industry Awards panel. It wasn’t up against the usual collection of racing games, however: this was across all genres.
