We’re now in the final month before DiRT 4’s launch. With the game fast approaching, Codemasters has released another Road Book detailing the game’s two handling modes.

Slightly Mad Studios has unveiled the various pre-order editions of Project CARS 2, with three offerings for European customers that cover a wide spectrum of goodies — and price points. The available options include the Ultra, Collector’s, and Limited Editions.

Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed another powerful addition for Project CARS 2. Say hello to the BMW M6 GT3, a track-oriented machine specifically developed for the FIA GT3 class regulations.

Polyphony Digital has pushed out an update for the Gran Turismo Sport closed beta. The update addresses numerous issues, and weighs in at a whopping 9.8GB.

One criticism often leveled at Gran Turismo regards its sounds, with Kazunori Yamauchi himself apologizing for the audio quality. A promise of change has proven to be true for the latest iteration of the series, at least in this early beta phase.

Assetto Corsa console players are going to need to exercise just a little bit more patience. The upcoming update for the title has fallen prey to various submission blocking issues, according to the official Facebook page.

Last week, Team VVV was fortunate enough to get some seat time with Project CARS 2, testing out the recently announced inclusion of the Red Bull Ring. There was a catch though: recorded video would be done with a controller instead of the expected sim racing rig.

We’re entering the final stretch before DiRT 4 barrels into the homes of gamers in early June. To celebrate, Codemasters has released the first gameplay trailer for the game.

Following up from the comparison to the original Project CARS, we now have some more footage directly looking at how GT Sport compares to its predecessor, Gran Turismo 6.

Xbox players aren’t the only ones that get to enjoy savings on racing games this week. The latest North American PlayStation Store PS+ sale brings with it big discounts on two of Codemasters’ more recent offerings and more.

The familiar setting of Brands Hatch has become a testing ground for yet another comparison, showing the similarities — and differences — between two racing simulators. The latest video compares Project CARS to the GT Sport beta, using the up-to-date Corvette C7.R and Gr.3 car, respectively.

The achievement and trophy list for upcoming rally racer DiRT 4 has been released to the public this week. Codemasters has shown off the type of events and challenges that will put players to the test when the game launches on June 9. The list seems to be a good mix of career-based tasks and general driving tests whilst containing some entertaining names to boot.

Earlier this month it was announced Porsche would be coming to Gran Turismo Sport, continuing a theme within the genre now that the Electronic Arts exclusivity deal is dead.

It’s no secret that Thrustmaster very much has a stronghold on the Playstation side of the sim racing market. Despite a few offerings elsewhere, the company has done well with its Sony-compatible products that include entry level wheels like the T150 series and high end products like the upcoming GT Sport wheel.

Sony has brought the regular PlayStation 4 in for an upgrade. Starting this month, the entry model in the PS4 ecosystem will come with a 1TB hard drive, while the MSRP has held steady at the same $300 price point as the previous 500GB model.

We’re quickly approaching DiRT 4’s mid-June release date, and that means a continuous stream of info on Codemasters’ rally title. The latest video, coming to us care of PlayStation Access, shows off three of the disciplines players will get down and dirty with.

It’s that time of the year again, when Sony announces its annual Easter sale on the PlayStation store, and there are some great deals to be had for all you racing fanatics out there.

As EU Gran Turismo fans wait patiently for Phase Two of the GT Sport closed beta, those in Britain will be getting their first chance at taking the VR mode of the game for a spin next weekend at Insomnia i60.
