Grand Theft Auto V is an incredible game – huge, expansive and filled with content. As far as GTA titles go, you’d be hard pressed to find one with more stuff to do. That being said, perhaps the most impressive thing the game is capable of is this incredible GT5 homage video from Youtuber RavenwestR1.

One of the more curious announcements to come from Polyphony Digital’s partnership with the FIA is the “digital license” – a new type of racing license sanctioned by the FIA and local governing bodies of motorsport in countries around the world.

When Gran Turismo 5 was released, something unusual in the game’s Kyoto Photo Travel Location caught the attention of our community: a curiously detailed little cat. He blinked, turned his head, looked around, and generally drove people crazy.

Ginx TV, the UK’s dedicated gaming channel, has undergone a re-branding and change of focus: becoming the world’s first dedicated eSports TV channel. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Ginx eSports will provide a programme mix that will take footage from eSports tournaments and other relevant events to provide gamers and mainstream viewership alike with the latest from the ever-growing eSports gaming scene.

Talk about something you don’t see everyday. There’s no questioning the expense in securing any number of the available high performance, exotic torpedoes when advertising comes into play. Whether it be an issue of the vehicle’s availability, the location, or setting up everything for the ideal commercial or movie, it can all prove to be very troublesome.

Coming from the world of drifting to the warm Californian asphalt at the unforgettable Laguna Seca, Marcel is back on track with his Mixed Reality recordings. We’ve have been hearing a lot of rumors regarding Porsche lately, so what better time to turn our attention to their spicier counterparts?

Join us from 17:00 EDT / 22:00 BST / 23:00 CEST this evening as we air our report from a rather wet 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed where BMW takes centre stage as it celebrates its centenary.

The battle for All-Japan Formula 3 Championship title is heating up. After a successful 6th round at Okayama International Circuit during which Jann managed to grab his first victory, an ill-fated collision penalty handed out at the 7th round at Suzuka slightly hurt his successful progress.

One of the biggest announcements from Xbox’s E3 showing was the unveiling of Forza Horizon 3 – the latest installment in Playground Games’ open-world racing series – with the game taking center stage at the keynote conference on June 14th. The showing included an official reveal trailer and a small discussion about the game’s features. However, Microsoft may have teased (accidentally or intentionally) an unannounced manufacturer for FH3 as willbsn13 has spotted on the GTPlanet forums.

Highly-praised racing simulator Assetto Corsa is currently under the microscope, mainly due to latest confirmation of Porsche’s imminent arrival in the game. Although the console version received its third launch delay earlier this year (moving the release for late August), it was available to try at this year’s E3 conference. The exclusive gameplay footage above was captured by Team VVV and should give you a very good feel of how the game will look when it comes out later this summer.

It certainly seems to be a big week for Porsche fans. Hot off their Le Mans win, the German purveyor of sports cars has announced a serious tie-up with Kunos Simulazioni to bring the marque’s best and brightest to Assetto Corsa this autumn. It now appears another sim title could be seeing Porsche’s inclusion soon, judging by comments from Slightly Mad Studios CEO Ian Bell.

Although modern driving simulators tend to model gear changing fairly well, without the proper accessory right in your hand, it is hardly possible to capture the true joy of manual shifting. The new shifter from Pro Sim focuses in on that exact problem, by offering an enhanced experience through a partnership with respected engineering company Quaife.

With online racing taking center stage in Gran Turismo Sport, there has rightfully been many questions about the game’s match-making capabilities. Playing with drivers outside of your own skill set – whether they are faster or slower than you – can be a frustrating experience, especially if you end up with the rude and childish players who often plague online lobbies.

Team VVV brings us the first gameplay footage of the upcoming WRC 6 from E3 2016, with developer commentary that’s sure to please fans of the series. Right off the bat, it’s confirmed that WRC 6 will be exclusive to current generation consoles, a decision that has freed up additional resources to develop the game without compromise.

It’s an age-old argument that has been at the centre of attention for quite a while, but the usefulness and validation of professional racing simulators has been called into question yet again, this time by F1 World Champion Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Last weekend’s Grand Prix took place in Azerbaijan – a new race in the calendar – and in regards to steps taken to learn the Baku circuit, Hamilton was more critical than most about the simulation suites provided by F1 teams:

Photomode. It’s a standard feature simply expected in racing games these days; a clever addition that allows players to showcase their cars and photography skills, while also functioning as free advertising for the developers. With the current generation of consoles making video recording a priority, it looks like budding videographers and photographers alike will appreciate the latest tool Playground Games is adding to the Forza Horizon series: Drone Mode.

Team VVV brings us new E3 gameplay footage of the upcoming F1 2016, featuring the Ferrari SF16-H taking a couple of laps around Autódromo José Carlos Pace, home to the Brazilian Grand Prix.

With both grief and tears, supporters of the largest Japanese car manufacturer will remember this last weekend at the prestigious Le Mans festival. Toyota lost the race which was seemingly destined to be a sure victory, the first one for the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ after a long 25 years of hovering around the podium’s top spot.

Earlier this week at Microsoft’s E3 conference, Phil Spencer put an end to the rumors by confirming the development of Project Scorpio, the next major addition to the Xbox family that’s much more than a simple refresh.

Hotel rooms are booked up, restaurant reservations are all filled, and traffic jams are occurring outside of rush hour. While this would be business as usual in any city with a healthy tourism industry, in the French city of Le Mans it can only mean one thing: it is June and another 24-hour endurance event is about to kick off, bringing a massive influx of foreigners to support the most prestigious motorsport race in the world.
