Last weekend saw a landmark achievement for one of the most promising graduates from the GT Academy programme, as the 2011 U.S. winner Bryan Heitkotter was able to to take his first overall win in professional motorsport — which was then swiftly backed up by a second win the day after.

Today we’ve brought you some new entertainment from Marcel Pfister‘s Mixed Reality video series. Racing at night is what Marcel decided to demonstrate, using his tried-and-true pairing of an Oculus Rift VR headset with the aid of green-screen technology. Support for Oculus was made available for the PC version of DiRT Rally last month in a sizeable download.

With the doors set to open at the Koelnmesse in Cologne in only two days (three for the general public), Polyphony has revealed its plans for the event. Leading the charge is a newly-released video detailing Kazunori Yamauchi’s exploits at the Nürburgring 24H race earlier this year behind the wheel of the Walkenhorst BMW M6 GT3.

The clock is ticking; four days remain until the release of this year’s title, and InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continues with yet another detailed look at the much-talked-about career mode.

Team Redline is one of the world’s most prominent online racing teams, founded all the way back in 2000. Today, it claims some of sim-racing and motorsport’s fastest drivers, including iRacing star Greger Huttu and Formula 1 pilot Max Verstappen.

Only one week is left until the worldwide release of F1 2016. To ensure loyal supporters can prepare all the required equipment for their first drive, Codemasters has released the full list of compatible controllers and steering wheels for the game. Hopefully you’ll be able to find your beloved product in the list below:

With Assetto Corsa’s console debut imminent, Kunos have taken it upon themselves to reveal the Triple3 Pack for PC, set to compliment the game’s European release in two weeks time.

In the world of driving simulators, a lot of attention has been focused on Assetto Corsa recently. The highly-regarded PC sim is finally coming out on consoles in the next 2 weeks and thanks to Los Santos Sheriff on Youtube, we have some honest impressions about how the game is shaping up on PS4.

For those steeped in the world of competitive multiplayer racing there’s no escaping ill-mannered racers, souring an otherwise fruitful experience with practices of bad sportsmanship. In response to this Turn 10 have kicked off a new program, Forza Race Marshals. The intention of the program will be helping to keep multiplayer events in Forza Motorsport 6 “as clean as possible.”

The Forza Racing Championship kicked off earlier this week with the 2015 Mustang GT as the first featured car. In the Elite Series, players were challenged to take their pony car around the turns of Monza in a dedicated Rivals event.

We last heard about the sales numbers of GT6 in the final days of 2015, when Polyphony revealed the 2013 title had hit 4.71 million units sold. The company updated those figures once more this week, with the full breakdown below:

After Kunos posted their own video highlighting how Assetto Corsa controls with a regular gamepad on console, many fans of the game on PC felt it wasn’t very representative of how the game actually behaves with a controller.

With Sony recently announcing a special event in NYC next month, you’d be forgiven for thinking the company’s presence at Gamescom would be minimal. You’d be mistaken, though: the German PlayStation blog released the full list of titles Sony is bringing to Europe’s biggest gaming trade fair, and it’s quite the collection.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events take you to four well-paced circuits where whoever gets on (and stays on) the power first wins. Three challenge levels cover this week’s events, giving you your sports and racing car weapons of choice.

With just shy of a week until release, InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continue with another look at the much-talked-about career mode. Still behind the wheel of Manor Racing’s MRT05, this time ISR showcases the action that takes place at the Bahrain International Circuit.

The next video is all about visual presentation. IGN has recorded some Forza Horizon 3 video footage featuring one of the game’s cross-country competitions in 4k (2160p) resolution, the current peak of display technology. The various changes in the terrain surfaces the cars were running on offer good opportunity to inspect the technical abilities of the upcoming free-roam game. The stunt sections provide a great example as well.

With Assetto Corsa due to launch this month, the official Assetto Corsa Youtube channel has uploaded the above video to highlight what those on controller can expect against those with a dedicated steering wheel in terms of car control. Due to the PC-centric development approach that many sims have these days, the handling on controller has become an important metric when players factor in if they should purchase a game.

Buried within the press release that accompanied the launch of the Forza Racing Championship last week, Microsoft revealed some interesting numbers about the franchise’s fanbase.

Well that was fast. After rumours started circulating earlier this week about an event in New York City, Sony has gone and confirmed a PlayStation Meeting next month.

The new Developer Diary video from Monster Games contains more details regarding NASCAR Heat Evolution, the upcoming racing game scheduled for release on September 13 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. From the previous Developer Diary video we learned about  priorities the developer has set to offer a completely new experience to fans of the popular auto-racing event. Today we get to inspect details regarding the gameplay itself.
