When we announced GTPlanet’s SRT Tomahawk X Challenge just over a month ago, it made one of GT6’s toughest Seasonal Events even more competitive, as hundreds of GTPlanet users sent in their lap times to win exclusive posters signed by the SRT design team – the same people who conceived one of the craziest Vision GT cars yet.

The Hungarian Grand Prix. Wow. It’s not out of the ordinary or without fair reasoning to hear or even read about Formula One fans pining for race weekends to take place under the advent of rain showers, it just makes for a more spectacular showing of the sport itself. The Hungarian Grand Prix was bone-dry and yet it stands as the best race of the entire season thus far and I would stake anything that it’s unlikely to be topped. If you haven’t seen it and you’re an F1 fan I would highly suggest that you do so.

For those members not able to attend, the following resources are available to keep up to date with the event:

If it hasn’t been made apparent already, this is, unequivocally, the year of the racing game. With so many options spanning across just about every platform available there’s something for everyone, and just enough of them release in such close proximity that you’ll be driven mad just trying to decide what you want to play! Another problem arises from games already on the market that are continually updated; there’s just too much going on in the racing game scene this year – what a fantastic problem to have.

A new batch of seasonal events are now available in Gran Turismo 6, featuring American sports cars made before 1980, European sports cars, mid-engined rear wheel drive race cars, and the Renault Sport Megane Trophy. This week’s challenges are as follows, and remember to stop by our GT6 Seasonal Events forum for in-depth analysis and discussion, and tips and tricks.

The first track expansion for Project CARS is now available across all platforms and introduces Ruapuna Park International Raceway, premier racing facility in New Zealand. The expansion extends the game’s already impressive selection of tracks  and includes the following variations:

Silverstone watch out, the Australians are coming!

Update 1.20 is now available to download for Driveclub. Weighing in at 500 MB, the update introduces new “Elite” driver levels, new club leaderboards for every tour event, updates to club challenges, photo mode improvements and more based on the continuous feedback from the community.

This has been a much calmer week, and graciously so with everything that’s been going on throughout the past several weeks; GTPlanet’s expansion is taking quite the toll on us all and for the strangest of reasons I find myself wishing, nay, craving that this week had been as hectic as those that have preceded. Make no mistake, there’s still plenty in the pipeline that you’ll all be privy to soon enough, but I suppose I’ve grown accustomed to the frantic, fast-paced deliverance of all things racing – down with the sickness I guess you could say.
