If you’ve been chomping at the bit waiting for the Assetto Corsa April console update, then unfortunately you’ll have to wait a little bit longer.

The beloved Stuttgart-based automaker continues to make rounds this week all over the racing game world. Porsche has decided to introduce itself in Gran Turismo Sport, while being reintroduced to the Forza series via a Forza Horizon 3 car pack and as a sponsor for Season 3 of ForzaRC. To make things even better, a couple of Porsches will be up for grabs in this month’s Forzathon events.

Last week Digital Foundry paid a visit to the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington for the first technical overview of the hardware powering the next Xbox, Project Scorpio. While the specs and underlying technology are truly impressive, a real-time demo would only validate the new machine even further. This is where Turn 10’s ForzaTech demo plays a key role.

It’s been quite a week for Gran Turismo fans. European players were invited into the ongoing beta, Porsche finally joined the GT fold, and three new circuits were unveiled. As part of that final bit of news, Polyphony Digital released a batch of wallpaper-friendly images.

After a bit of a winter break, Turn 10 is gearing up for a third season of its Forza Racing Championship. Coinciding with yesterday’s big announcement, this season will be sponsored by Porsche, and it kicks off this weekend.

Deep within the realm of hell Dodge pulled out the Demon, the fastest Challenger ever made, and currently the most potent muscle car built for a road-going use.

Last month, GTPlanet had an exclusive look at Thrustmaster’s official Gran Turismo Sport wheel, thanks to an anonymous tipster. The peripheral looks to be the definitive way to experience GT Sport when it releases and thanks to a well-spotted detail on the wheel by a Twitter user, it looks like it will host a very unique advantage over other wheels.

Many moons ago, a headline like that would’ve come as no surprise. Back in the sixties, racing drivers competing across multiple categories was a rather common occurrence. For example, recently deceased motor racing legend John Surtees is the only person in history to have won major championships on both two and four wheels.

It’s official: Porsche has returned to the Forza series, and unlike before there are no crippling agreements in play. Turn 10 and Porsche have announced an “in-depth six-year partnership” that will include the Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series of games moving forward.

Slightly Mad Studios has just released a trailer giving us a look at one of the most anticipated modes in its upcoming racer Project CARS 2 — Rallycross.

Whoops. After a leak back in January gave away a lot of the upcoming content for Forza Horizon 3, another hole has given us a look at upcoming content. The next car pack is set to be Porsche-themed, with a few surprises mixed in for good measure.

One annoying issue that sim racers faced when the PlayStation 4 was released was steering wheel compatibility. Owners of wheels like the highly popular G-series from Logitech (G25, G27) or older Fanatec items quickly found out that they wouldn’t be able to use their existing wheels to play racing games.

April seems an appropriate time to say this: when it rains, it pours. We’ve been bombarded with GT Sport news today — the EU beta access, the momentous unveiling of Porsche — and here’s the final piece of the puzzle: three new tracks are coming to GT Sport.

After years of wanting and waiting for Porsche to make its way over to the Gran Turismo franchise, it has been confirmed that, yes, the German manufacturer will feature in this year’s Gran Turismo Sport.

The wait is nearly over: Sony has officially announced that EU Gran Turismo fans will begin joining the GT Sport Closed Beta Test Version this Saturday, April 15.

It was a busy time for racing last weekend, with the second round of Formula One as well as the kick-off of the 2017 Super GT season. Not to be outdone, the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship had arguably the most dramatic race of the weekend.

Looking forward to the driving in DiRT 4 but still want further details on the features the game will have when it launches in June? PlayStation Access got the chance to go hands-on with the title last week, and has released another video detailing the top eight reasons it believes DiRT 4 provides a full experience outside of the actual racing.
