The competition for a seat on McLaren’s new esport team is on. McLaren first announced its Shadow initiative earlier this summer, and now aspiring sim racers have two iRacing events to compete in.

We’re still absorbing all of the content and changes in the July update to GT Sport, but already there’s another on its way.

Spanish Gran Turismo Sport players, there’s a new esport event for you. No, we’re not talking about the third FIA GT season that’s about to start, but one with a pretty cool prize on offer: a seat on Fernando Alonso’s esport team.

Every once in a while, I get the urge to get out from behind my computer and quench my thirst for adventure. This typically involves a road trip in some fashion to see whatever sights are along the way. That’s why when the travel bug bit recently, I packed up my car and headed out to see the great American West.

It’s no secret that racing games have become a vital tool to real-word competitors. Whether it be to learn their way around a track, or to perfect their craft, modern racing games blur the lines.

The team at Hoonigan has done it again. With the same sort of gloriously overkill approach that results in 1400hp Mustangs, the garage has teamed up with Thrustmaster to build a pair of serious sim racing rigs. Best of all, if you’re in Austin, Texas this weekend, you could take them for a test drive.

Gran Turismo Sport recently saw its biggest feature update yet, and with it came some changes to the livery editor. We can now make helmet liveries and place decals on our suits. The future of the livery editor competitions should see some changes eventually too. Maybe one day you’ll get to design your dream helmet? Maybe a car+suit combo? The possibilities are endless.

Aston Martin Red Bull Racing has announced that Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo will leave the team at the end of the current season.

French carmaker Ligier is teasing us with a new car to celebrate its landmark year. But this one is a bit different to its current crop of vehicles: it’s a bonafide sports car.

Last week we got a chance to check out what the winter map of Forza Horizon 4 will look like. Now with the snow gone, we finally get to see it in all its splendor as the preview of the seasons comes to a close.

It’s one of those questions that car enthusiasts will argue over until they’re blue in the face. What is the greatest movie car ever?

There’s a long history of officially-branded Gran Turismo wheels. Starting out with Logitech’s GT Force way back in the days of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, Polyphony moved to a partnership with Thrustmaster almost a decade ago. The latest fruit of this collaboration is the wheel you see here, the T-GT.

In previous Wants, we took a look at cars that embraced the essence of Gran Turismo. These include vehicles like the Toyota Supra and the Nissan Skyline. For this week we are returning to the franchise, but instead of picking an outright performance car, we are looking at something a little different, the Honda Beat.

If you happened to be the area of Blaenau Ffestiniog in (obviously) Wales recently, you might have been treated to an unusual aerial display.

Since he was crowned U.S. GT Academy champion back in 2013, it has been a busy five years for Nick McMillen.

Codemasters has released the latest trailer for F1 2018. With its August 24 release date fast approaching, it offers a 150-second recap of what players can expect.

The date is finally set. Assetto Corsa Competizione enters Steam Early Access on September 12. The news came courtesy of Kunos Simulazioni’s Marco Massarutto at last weekend’s Total 24 Hours of Spa endurance race. As the official game of the Blancpain GT Series, what better time to make the grand announcement?

As with every week so far in GT Sport’s life time, Polyphony Digital has used Tuesday to rejig the Mileage Exchange.

As the v1.23 update lands, GT Sport players are having to get used to a rather unusual retrograde step. Polyphony Digital has changed the scheduling of the game’s Sport Mode Daily Races. Rather than daily, they’re now weekly — although still called “Daily Races”.

Back in March, the team at Kylotonn Games announced the return of the V-Rally series. Now we are getting our first look at the trailer for its upcoming V-Rally 4.
