In a world where we analyze every minute detail, striving to understand every facet, and every nook and cranny of the hobbies we take part in, it’s weeks like this one that makes everything worth it. If you haven’t been keeping up with the events of this week then allow me to outline a few things for you.

Here we go! It’s the start of a new approach for Track of the Week here at GTPlanet. We saw 16 entries last week by our community, which then went to a vote a few days ago. As decided by his peers, WRS regular Whitetail has secured the title this week, with his eponymously-named Whitetail Raceway.

For the full effect, you’ll want to read that title in your best Jan Brady voice.

The Gran Turismo series has been honoured with a spot in the ‘GAME ON’ exhibit within the Japan National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. In this event, which showcases the history of video games, a fully functioning GT cabinet running Gran Turismo 6 can be played with a Thrustmaster T300RS steering wheel (pedals from the T500RS are used, however).

The updates keep on coming! Detailed earlier this week, the latest in the line of Need For Speed’s free content updates showed up this morning on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, weighing in at roughly 1gb for either camp.

Critically-acclaimed racing simulator Project CARS is going to receive another spot in the limelight with a special release recently announced by the title’s creator, Slightly Mad Studios.

With the recent reveal of the ultra exclusive Centenario and the accompanying announcement that it will be featured in the next Forza game, Lamborghini has been a hot commodity this week. As a part of the ongoing partnership between Forza Motorsport and Lamborghini, a brand new program featured exclusively in Forza Motorsport 6 has been revealed: the Lamborghini Super Trofeo race series.

Indeed, who could have seen that coming? The new adapter from Thrustmaster features compatibility with non-Thrustmaster pedals as long as they feature a DB9 connector. That naturally includes Logitech and its G-series pedals.

What we’re looking at above is what could be the first official acknowledgement of Forza Horizon 3. Much as they did with Motorsport 6, Turn 10 has announced a cover car at a major automotive event, this time at the Palexpo during the Geneva Auto Show. Now we know why some of the studio’s higher-ups are on the ground in Switzerland…

This year would have marked the 100th anniversary of Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the eccentric Italian marque. To celebrate the occasion, the storied automaker is producing an extremely limited production run of the Centenario pictured above. Unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the Centenario’s design is built around a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 powerplant to date, producing 770 horses, and can propel itself to 60 in a paltry 2.8 seconds.

Hot on the heels of last week’s new tour packs, Evolution Studios have finally pushed out their smartphone application to the masses with the official Driveclub app hitting iOS and Android storefronts yesterday afternoon. Initially promised for launch in October 2014, the app’s core functionality allows players to track in-game challenges they are currently competing in and accept recommended challenges from around the Driveclub community.

We asked, and you answered. Last week, Track of the Week was opened to community suggestions, and the response was better than we could’ve even hoped. There are sixteen ribbons of tarmac waiting for players to enjoy, all plucked from the GTPlanet Track Database. You can drive any or all of them, but only one will get the TOTW title this weekend.

The US Race Car Pack is now available for Project CARS in a continual effort by Slightly Mad Studios to keep the WMD-powered game feeling new with monthly content.

Hot on the heels of the news of PC-based Apex spin-off, Turn 10 unleashed the long-awaited Porsche Expansion Pack for Forza 6 today. The pack spans six decades of the storied marque’s history, from the 1955 550A Spyder to the Le Mans-winning 2015 919 Hybrid. It also ups the track count, introducing Virginia International Raceway to the lineup with seven different layouts, as well as both night and rain variations.

Following the accidental Need for Speed leak by EA’s Twitter earlier this week, Ghost has dropped full patch notes on what to expect from March’s update – aptly named ‘Hot Rods’.

It seems that recent indicators regarding a possible expansion of Turn 10’s ultimate seller Forza Motorsport to the PC platform are really becoming something to rely on. According to a cached version of an article at The Seattle Times (which was quickly deleted, though the details have now been made official), Turn 10 and Microsoft are working on an exclusive for Windows 10, titled Forza Motorsport 6: Apex. The game will appear this spring.

As the automotive world prepares for one of the biggest events on the calendar – the Geneva Motor Show, opening to the public this Thursday – Bugatti has taken an early lead in buzz by unveiling the dramatic new Chiron.

One of the two announced DLC packs for the popular rallying title has just become available for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam. Ringing in at $9.99, the Rallycross pack features two new cars (Hyundai Veloster Turbo and Ford Focus RS09), one additional course to race on (Hell Norway) and seven new career events.

In light of the recent news that console-goers will have to sit tight for just a little bit longer to experience the acclaimed racing title, development continues on both ends to improve the game. Earlier this month Kunos revealed plans to completely overhaul the game’s complete library of racing venues, courtesy of improved laser-scanning technology.

2016 will see Nissans of all manner of shapes and sizes take to the track all over the globe once more, as the manufacturer, aided by the NISMO Athletes, aim to top a hugely successful 2015 with 34 drivers across 14 series.
