After teasing us last week, Fanatec has shown off their newest product in full, the CSL Steering Wheel P1. Compatible with the Club Sport Wheel Bases (the original as well as V2), the CSL wheel is unique among the existing lineup, as it doesn’t require the Universal Wheel Hub to perform on the XBox One.

The 6.0 Update is now available to PlayStation 4 owners and is beginning to roll out to Xbox One owners as of today.

A 5-stop WRS GT500 series has been announced, visiting Suzuka, Motegi, Daytona, Silverstone, and Fuji. The current sign-up list is showing a possibility of 2 rooms, and we’re still 1 week away. The first race will occur this Sunday November 22 at 20:00 GMT, and the champion will be decided before the holiday break.

As GT6’s two year anniversary approaches, our community has hit a slightly shorter milestone of its own. GTPlanet’s weekly Photomode competitions are now in the triple digits, a number that deserves celebration. Like all good celebrations, prizes are up for grabs too, with two Premium memberships available.

T, what’s been going on with the Spotlight lately? The schedule has been erratic, there hasn’t been a Member of the Week in almost a month, and I feel the content hasn’t been up to the otherwise usual standards.

Sim racers on Microsoft’s system look set to get a new option in the increasingly-crowded affordable wheel market. Fanatec released the above image on Facebook yesterday, showing a leather-clad wheel with an integrated information panel and centre-line. Visible behind the wheel are the expected flappy-paddles, but beyond that, there isn’t much more info available in the original image Fanatec supplied.

Slightly Mad Studios continues their monthly support for Project CARS with the latest major update now available to PC owners, this time leaving PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners looking toward what’s to come.

Welcome again to GTPlanet’s GT6 Track of the Week, where we highlight impressive creations from within the community. After the tight, tricky Zandvoort replica from Week 4, we’re moving back to the realm of fantasy circuits.

Back in the early spring of 2015, Forza Horizon 2 had a tie-in car pack (and spin-off, standalone mini-game) with a little movie titled Furious 7. You may have heard of it: not only did it break the record for shortest time for a film to break the $1 billion dollar worldwide gross mark (17 days), it’s gone on to be the second highest-grossing movie of the year. A serious force, then.

Need For Speed is a racing touchstone for a lot of people. Up there with Mario Kart and Gran Turismo, it is a name that crosses boundaries, recognizable to not only the driving-obsessed, but also those that don’t consider video games “their thing”. It even has the necessary cachet to attract Hollywood, delivering a movie last year starring Jesse Pinkman (a move the GT franchise looks likely to follow).

Kunos Simulazioni have revealed on the offiicial Assetto Corsa Facebook page that new content is on the way to the game. That content, pictured above, is the Audi R8 V10 Plus and unlike its GT3 class brethren that was introduced in last month’s Dream Pack 2 expansion, the R8 V10 Plus will be made available to everyone as free bonus content.

UPDATE: The “Fugu Z” was scanned by the Polyphony Digital team on November 7, 2017 in Long Beach, CA. It was finally added to Gran Turismo Sport in the game’s 1.31 update, released on December 5, 2018.

It’s that time again! In between Jordan’s coverage of SEMA – take a look at the finalists if you haven’t yet, before a winner is crowned – we’re delivering another selection hand-picked by the GTPlanet staff from our constantly-growing GT6 Track Database.

A new batch of seasonal events are now available in Gran Turismo 6 showcasing this week’s super lap and drift trial challenges. The events feature race cars from 1980’s and onward, non-race cars, pre-1970 non-race cars, and rally machines that have competed in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. This week’s challenges are as follows, and remember to stop by our GT6 Seasonal Events forum for in-depth analysis and discussion, tips and tricks, and much more.

It’s been a busy day at SEMA, as Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi toured the show floor visiting all the finalists for this year’s GT Awards.

Codemasters continues to keep DiRT Rally above the competition with monthly updates that move the early access title closer and closer to the feel of a finished product. This month is no exception as the team have released their latest major update to the game currently available on PC, version 0.9, otherwise known as the Modern Masters Pack.

GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series is using a custom track for the first time this week, a replica of the Belgian Circuit Zolder, created by a newly-joined GTP member – Robin Pirard. The Zonda C12S 7.3 ’02 on Sports Soft tires and just an oil change is the steed.The Time Trial ends Monday November 9 and online races featuring the car and track will be held at the normal Sat and Wed timeslots:

While the 44th Tokyo Motor Show brought us plenty of interesting Gran Turismo news – a slightly modified version of Nissan’s Vision GT car made its debut, while Toyota’s new S-FR small sports car was playable – one thing that may have flown under some radars was Polyphony’s newest motion simulator rig, which was set up specifically for taking the little Toyota for a spin in a special limited edition of GT6.

Update 1.24 is now available to download for Driveclub. Weighing in at 400MB, the update introduces the long-awaited private multiplayer lobbies that were talked about earlier this year. The new feature has a variety of adjustable options and modifiers for the likes of grid position, gear changes, and camera perspective to name a few.
