News WRC3 screenshots showcase Mexico and Sweden

With just over a month until release, Milestone are continuing to pump out new material for WRC3. This latest batch of screenshots showcase WRC3's rendition of the contrasting dusty trails and tight passageways of the Rally Guanajuato Mexico and the sweeping snowy roads of the Rally Sweden. As we keep iterating, visually WRC3 is a […]

News Forza 4 ‘Pennzoil Car Pack’ out September 4th

The Forza folk may be busy with Horizon announcements, but that doesn't mean Turn 10 has forgotten about Forza Motorsport 4. On the contrary, this September's 'Pennzoil Car Pack' not only boasts an eclectic array of iconic cars, but there are in fact 11 in this pack, rather than the usual 10. But don't go […]

News Need for Speed Most Wanted ‘Find it, Drive it’ gameplay video

EA have released another tantalising snippet of gameplay in some new footage for Criterion's Need for Speed Most Wanted, this time focusing on the ability to drive any car you can find in the game. Well, we say new but in actual fact it's the very same on-stage playthrough we were treated to during EA's […]

News Wolfgang Reip wins Europe’s 2012 GT Academy

For most people, the name 'Wolfgang Reip' means very little. However, if you're a fan of motor racing and racing games (which we assume you are, given you're reading this), you may want to take note of it, as the Belgian bloke has just won this year's European GT Academy. One of the six lucky […]

News EA Gothenburg working on next Need for Speed

Criterion may be about to release their sophomore Need for Speed game Most Wanted, but, being an annual franchise that makes EA copious amounts of cash, speculation on what's next for Need for Speed will always be rife. It therefore comes as no surprise that confirmation of yet another installment in the never-ending series has […]

News WRC3 gameplay video navigates the twists and turns of Argentina

Milestone have started to pump out numerous gameplay samples of WRC3 in the run-up to its October release, but none have shown how far the game has come compared to its predecessor so profoundly as this latest stage in Argentina. The gameplay video puts us in the front seat of a Volkswagen Polo R navigating […]

Previews Forza Horizon Car Reveal Round-Up Pt. 1

It's the end of the week, and we can now, as a result, kick-start our weekly round-up of all the new cars that the Turn 10 and Playground Games PR peeps have officially declared will be in the upcoming Forza title. Even though there was a far more rigorous selection process for Forza Horizon than […]

News Project CARS trailer takes on GRiD 2

Codemasters' controversial decision to remove the cockpit camera in GRiD 2 has caused quite a stir among racing fans, particularly in the sim racing community. According to them, only 5% of players actually used the cockpit camera in previous games. In direct response to Codemasters' claims, user Jonz66 has compiled their own fan-made trailer of the […]

News MUD FIM Motocross World Championship makes a splash on Vita this September

With Spy Hunter making a comeback and Criterion's audacious port of Need for Speed Most Wanted hoping to set the benchmark for handheld racing games later this year, the PlayStation Vita is starting to build up a strong library of driving games since its initial launch. Milestone's MUD FIM Motocross World Championship can now also […]

It's be a bit of a wait, but Turn 10 has finally revealed what the cars available in the Forza Horizon 'VIP Pack' are. And, being in a game that focuses on an action-packed experience with some of the greatest cars in the world, on some of the greatest driving roads in the world, it's […]

News Thrustmaster unveil a fleet of Ferrari peripherals

Earlier this month, peripheral manufacturer Thrustmaster started to tease an upcoming Ferrari-branded wheel for Xbox 360.

Without further ado, here's our round-up […]

News SimBim’s RaceRoom Racing Experience playable in two weeks

SimBin may be hard at work developing the highly anticipated GTR 3, but that seemingly hasn't stopped them focusing on other side projects. Enter RaceRoom Racing Experience, an upcoming free to play PC racing simulation that sees SimBin attempt to attract a new market in what they call a Free 2 Race concept. It […]

News Spy Hunter deploying onto Vita and 3DS this October

It's been almost 30 years since the original Spy Hunter was deployed into arcades. After numerous remakes with mixed success in the last generation, TT Games are once again rebooting the series exclusively for the 3DS and PS Vita. Announced a few months ago, players will once again take on the role of The Agent, […]

News New Forza Horizon screenshot reveals two new cars

GamesCom hasn't exactly been forthcoming when it comes to new information on Forza Horizon. We're hoping that this is set to change however, as a teasing new screenshot has been released revealing two new contrasting cars. Racing down a typically picturesque sunset valley, the screenshot depicts a 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe racing against a […]

News Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends granted UK digital release on PS3

Things were looking bleak for UK players looking forward to Test Drive Ferrari Racing Legends. Already plagued by delays, its belated release last month in every territory other than the UK successfully scorned fans, and the publisher's suspicious silence on the matter didn't exactly help. We were therefore starting to accept the possibility that Test […]

News First Need for Speed Most Wanted Vita and mobile screenshots are awe-inspiring

Need for Speed Most Wanted's showing at Gamescom this week revealed an interesting intention: Criterion want you to be able to play Most Wanted at all times, no matter where you are. This led to the announcement of CrossCompete, a new incentive that allows you to continue progress on Most Wanted across multiple platforms. You […]

News F1 2012 demo confirmed for September

There's now just over a month before Codemasters unleash their third entry in the official F1 series with the much anticipated F1 2012. It's currently playable at this week's GamesCom show, but we haven't seen many new details come to light as of yet. A fact sheet sent in by Codemasters confirms F1 2012's feature […]

News Need for Speed Most Wanted’s CloudCompete redefines cross-compatibility

As promised by this week's teaser trailer, Need for Speed Most Wanted was heavily featured in today's EA press conference at GamesCom.

News WRC3 GamesCom trailer asks “what makes a driver a champion?”

With GamesCom now fully underway in Germany, you can surely expect to see some fresh new trailers for the remainder of 2012's most anticipated titles. First up is Milestone's WRC3, with a new trailer that poses a simple question: what makes a driver a champion? According to Milestone, the answer boils down to a multitude […]

News First F1 Race Stars in-game screenshots race out of Gamescom

F1 Race Stars caught us all off-guard when it was first announced by Codemasters. With its lighthearted cartoony take on the glamorous world of F1, complete with big-headed caricatures of all the drivers, it stood out as a breath of fresh air in a genre that's constantly compared to Mario Kart. With the advent of […]

News Watch Swarchenegger swipe the door off a smart car in The Expendables 2

With its ensemble cast of just about every major action movie hero ever to grace the silver screen in the last couple of decades, including Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham and Jean-Claude Van Damme it's fair to say that expectations are riding high on The Expendables 2 to deliver the quintessentially bombastic summer […]

News New Pikes Peak record set by Rhys Millen

We highly doubt Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima would have been very happy with the news that emerged from Colarado earlier today. After setting two record times at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in the last few years, Tajima no longer holds the coveted 'King of the Hill' title. That now belongs to New Zealand-born American racer Rhys […]

News Jeremy Foley crashes spectacularly in Pikes Peak

The gruelling Pikes Peak is known to be a dangerous endeavour, but it still doesn't prepare you for death-defying incidents like this. Racing for the Time Attack division in this year's Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, Dallas driver Jeremy Foley and co-driver Yuri Kouznetsov veered off a particularly tricky section in spectacular fashion, causing their Mitsubishi Evo […]

News Multiplayer trailer for Need for Speed Most Wanted next week

It's safe to say that we're hotly anticipating the launch of Need for Speed Most Wanted, Criterion's sophomore stint with the Need for Speed license, but it's the multiplayer component that particularly has the potential to make this a must-have title thanks in no small part to the incredibly advanced Autolog 2.0. A new destructive […]

News Ginettas to feature in Project CARS

Given we're used to annoucing something regarding Project CARS on a regular basis, it's been quite surprising on our part that there haven't been noteworthy news pieces to deal with Slightly Mad Studios' upcoming sim title for a while. However, the train of WMD branded press releases may be back on track now, as we've […]

News F1 2012 Developer Diary confirms release date

As is traditional with Codemasters' F1 series, we had a hunch that F1 2012 would be granted a September release. Thanks to a new developer diary video, however, we can now confirm the exact date that F1 2012 will be roaring off the line: mark your racing calendars for September 21st. Following on from the […]

News Codemasters respond to GRiD 2’s controversial cockpit camera removal

Yesterday's official unveiling of GRiD 2 was met with universal excitement all-round – as we discussed in our initial impressions, it certainly has the potential to one of this generation's defining racing games as the current crop of consoles begin to retire. It's unfortunate, then, that the unprecedented decision to remove the cockpit camera seems […]

News GRiD 2 details announced; our initial impressions

It's been a long time since we last saw a new GRiD title, but we can finally say that there will be a sequel to the critically acclaimed Race Driver: GRiD game. Yep, that's right. Though even the developers themselves admit it's "Codemasters' worst kept secret", there will definitely be a Grid 2. Even though it's […]

News Thrustmaster tease new Ferrari Xbox 360 Wheel

The Xbox 360 wheel market isn't exactly overcrowded, so it's always encouraging to hear of new developments. Following on from their budget Ferrari F458 Italia Racing Wheel, Thrustmaster have started to tease the unveiling of yet another Ferrari wheel designed for the Xbox 360 in a new teaser video. While a full reveal is said […]

News LittleBigPlanet Karting release date confirmed

With its comprehensive customistation, vibrant visuals and the cutest mascot on the planet, it's fair to say we're hotly anticipating Sackboy's racing debut in LittleBigPlanet Karting. Considering the deserved popularity of the PS3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet series, it's surprising however to find that its karting spin-off hasn't been given much spotlight since its quiet announcement, which […]

News New ‘Champions Mode’ for F1 2012

With only a month or so until it goes on sale, we were getting a bit anxious about the lack of any news from Codemasters regarding the highly anticipated F1 2012 title. Thankfully, though, there's been a new announcement from the dev team, and it regards a new gameplay mode for the upcoming game. Basically, the […]

News WRC3 Developer Diary details graphical overhaul

One of the most common gripes of WRC2 was its lackluster graphics that showed very little improvement from its predecessor and looked vastly outdated compared to the competition. Thankfully, developer Milestone has addressed this issue by developing a bespoke new graphics engine, known as ‘Spikengine’ for WRC3. At this stage it already looks as if […]

News Real Racing 3 sets the graphical pinnacle for mobile racing

The mobile gaming market has come on in leaps and bounds over the years, to a point that, visually, many games are starting to rival those found on traditional handheld gaming devices and indeed home consoles. Case in point is Real Racing, a series that has consistently raised the bar for what the iPhone and […]

News ‘The Race Returns’: Could this be GRiD 2?

We've known for a while now that the crew at Codemasters Racing are busy away, working on a potential sequel to the critically acclaimed successor to the TOCA franchise, 'Race Driver: GRiD'. However, we've never had any official confirmation or hints from an accredited source (i.e. Codemasters themselves) that such a game is in the pipeline for a […]

News Need for Speed Most Wanted gameplay trailer shows dirty driving

It's been rather quiet on the video front for Criterion's Need for Speed Most Wanted, with EA instead opting to tease us with car reveals and pointless pre-order bonuses. Thankfully, a new, if not too revealing, trailer has whetted our appetite for destruction, and we're pleased to report that it includes new gameplay footage after […]

News Polyphony Digital now focusing on GT6

Polyphony Digital may have been getting a bit of slack as of late, especially in comparisons with how Turn 10's efforts on the Xbox 360 are faring, but you do have to admire the Japanese developer's post-launch support for its titles. After all, PD kept on updating GT5: Prologue right up until the full game it […]

News Jeep Grand Cherokee fails the ‘Elk Test’. Again.

When it comes to failures of the Avoidance Maneuver Test (also more commonly known as the 'Moose Test' or 'Elk Test' ), few can topple the original Mercedes-Benz A-Class, which toppled over when it was entered into the obstacle into 1997. However, it seems that now you should focus more on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, […]

News Fast and Furious 6 to film scenes in…Glasgow?

After spanning a multitude of glamorous global locations, from Los Angeles and Tokyo to Rio de Janeiro, it was anyone’s guess exactly where the next Fast and Furious film would be situated, particularly after last year’s Fast Five saw a swift change in direction that diverted the series away from its street racing roots into […]

News Forza 4 ‘Playseat Car Pack’ coming August 7

As always, the pack comes with ten new cars from across the genres of motoring, whether they're small British roadsters or modern sports coupes, right up to the latest muscle cars and homologation specials. We've got a brief summary of each car in the Playseat pack below. Enjoy! 1962 Lincoln Continental Still, we can't fault […]

News Porsche’s hypercar to come with Martini livery

When it comes to partnerships between car companies with racing teams and noteworthy major sponsors, few are as iconic as the 'alliance' between Porsche and Martini. Over the years, especially during the 1970s, various Porkers over the years have adorned the famed stripes, with the most famous being the 917 that won Le Mans in 1971. To preview what […]

Reviews DiRT Showdown Review

There’s been a fast-growing trend in racing games this year: the spin-off. Ridge Racer shocked us all when it was seemingly awarded an ASBO in BugBear’s building-breaking spin-off RR Unbounded, whereas Forza Motorsport will be potentially revolutionising the open world racing genre when Forza Horizon swaps conventional race tracks for sunny Colorado’s open canyon roads […]

News Virtua_LM brings Sebring to rFactor 2

It may still be in the beta phase, but that doesn't mean external 'mods' can't be implemented into rFactor 2 during its development phase. On the contrary, quite a few dev teams across the world have been adding their bits 'n bobs to the beta, with the latest addition being courtesy of Virtua_LM. Virtua_LM is […]

News WRC 3 Exclusive VVV Videos

This week VVV’s Alan Boiston was given the opportunity to gain a first hands-on with Black Bean’s official game based on the World Rally Championship. Given the somewhat disappointing experience offered by the previous WRC titles, hopes were not all that high that this third iteration would do anything to alter that impression. Following this […]

News Kazunori Yamauchi talks GT6 and GT Vita

With the life changing GT Academy currently hogging all the limelight, it's easy to overlook what the future holds for the Gran Turismo series. Speaking at the China Joy games event, Gran Turismo's father figure Kazunori Yamauchi was on hand to talk about topics at the forefront in the minds of GT fans: namely […]

Features Ferrari Perspective: German 2012

At the last race, Webber’s win closed the championship gap to Ferrari’s main-man, Fernando Alonso. This weekend at Hockenheim in Germany was shaping up to be very similar to that last Grand Prix at Silverstone; wet and miserable, but with a dry race. Throughout all three Practice sessions there was very little running from the […]

News New features revealed for Codemasters’ F1 2012

The crew at Codemasters Racing seem to be very tight lipped about pre-release details regarding its upcoming flagship title. Apart from a few little snippets here and there that we'd come to expect from game developers now (i.e. "we've improved the gameplay, graphics and physics" or something along those lines), things have been very quiet […]

News Skyfall featurette marks the return of Bond’s legendary Aston Martin DB5

The Aston Martin DB5 will forever remain the signature car of the James Bond series, which is why we're excited to see its belated return in the next Bond film Skyfall. While it had a brief appearance in Casino Royale, we haven't seen it take on a proper action sequence since Pierce Brosnan got behind […]

News WRC3 on track for October release, pack shots revealed

As you can probably tell, we're feeling optimistic about Milestone's WRC3. After two successive games that didn't quite reach their potential, the third entry looks to put things right with a brand new graphics engine that already looks markedly better, along with narrower courses that will hopefully properly reflect the perils of WRC and a […]

News Automaniax Porsche Online makes Project CARS developer Slightly Mad

Since it's initial tease a few months back, little has been known about Automaniax Porsche Online, an upcoming free-to-play online sim racer with a penchant for Porsche, if you hadn't gathered from the title. Out of the blue, a new trailer has been released for the project featuring exactly what you would expect: prestigeous Porsche […]

News Six Brits in national GT Academy finals

The mini-game selection process may have ended, but there's still a long way to go until we find an eventual winner for this year's GT Academy. And with only a few spots going spare in the overall finals, things have been hotting up for the lucky Brits who made it into this month's selection process. […]

News F1 Race Stars box art teases mystery female driver

The shock that Codemasters are about to turn the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel into big-headed cartoon carictures in kart racing spin-off F1 Race Stars should have set in by now. But just in case you thought it was a late April Fools joke, the official box art has now been released: The […]

News Fake Gran Turismo Android App attracts 100,000 downloads

Android smartphone users were in for a surprise when a mysterious racing game App under the name of 'Gran Turismo' popped up on the Google Play store. Developed by a Chinese company known as Sailfish Games, the App has no affiliation to the fabled Gran Turismo series whatsoever, despite the clearly copied logo. To you […]

News Batmobile documentary will chronicle The Dark Knight’s iconic car

With the much anticipated release of Christopher Nolan's conclusion to The Dark Knight trilogy set to obliterate the box office this week, it seems appropiate to look back at Batman's most faithful crime fighting tool: the Batmobile. A new documentary will chronicle the eclectic evolution of the iconic Batmobile, spanning everything from its inception in […]

News Need for Speed Most Wanted pre-order bonuses detailed

Last week saw the announcement of Forza Horizon's pre-order bonuses, which included the usual raft of extra cars we've come to expect.

News Criterion flaunts NFS Most Wanted’s car list starting with ‘American Dream Machines’

In the press conferences earlier this year, the folk from Criterion were very adamant that their reboot of 'Most Wanted' would have the most diverse car roster for any Need for Speed game, ranging from lightweight track specials to huge pickups and SUVs. And now, with only a short while to go until it hits the […]

News SEAT recreate The Italian Job chase in Mii promotional video

Car manufacturers everywhere take note: this is how you promote your new city car.

News Forza Horizon pre-order details announced

Until now, we hadn't heard much about Forza Horizon since its debut to the press and gaming public at E3 in June. With its release date now only a few months away, details about what is undoubtedly one of this year's most anticipated racing games are still surprisingly scarce. Thankfully, the folk at Turn 10 […]

News KTM X-Bow R makes its game debut in Assetto Corsa

It's surprising to find that KTM's ultra lightweight trackcar the X-Bow has been barely featured in contemporary driving games – a visit over to the Internet Games Car Database reveals that the mobile Asphalt series is curently the only game where you can drive one. This is about to change however, as Assetto Corsa can […]

News F1 2012 will not support Windows XP

PC players eager to get their F1 fix with Codemasters' latest title in the series may be dismayed to learn that F1 2012 will not be compatible with Windows XP. This comes as a surprise since both F1 2010 and 2011 supported the operating system without a hitch. So what is to blame? Well, F1 […]

A few weeks ago, ISI's rendition of the Renault Clio Cup for rFactor 2 was leaked ahead of its intended debut to the PC sim game. Now, though, the French pocket rocket for the track has been officially let loose for all to enjoy! As with every other rFactor add-on, you'll have to download the […]

News F1 Race Stars takes Formula One over the top this November

If you’re a casual gamer with only a passing interest in the world of F1, chances are that Codemasters Racing's annual F1 releases seem terribly incremental. Enter F1 Racing Stars, a decidedly different take on the F1 license that brings vibrant visuals, exaggerated tracks and cutesy caricatures of the famous drivers. If you thought DiRT […]

Features Ferrari Perspective: European & British 2012

Last time out at Montreal, this was how I concluded my Ferrari F1 blog post:”Next time out at Valencia, it’s a home race for Fernando. Perhaps, with what the team has learned in Canada, he can win the European Grand Prix in front of his adoring Spanish fans.” For Fernando Alonso, the 2012 European Grand […]

News Watch Ken Block smoke the streets of San Francisco in Gymkhana 5

As promised, renowned hoonigan Ken Block has delivered his much anticipated Gymkhana 5 video, which sees him and his faithful Fiesta tear up the streets of San Francisco in a plethora of smoke and tyre treads. In his words, San Francisco is the "ultimate urban playground", and from watching the 9 minute video, which was […]

News Car customisation confirmed for Need for Speed Most Wanted

One of the most frequently asked questions about Criterion's upcoming reboot of Need for Speed Most Wanted is whether or not car customistation will make it into the game. After all, obsessively modding your car was an integral part of the original Most Wanted. We now have the answer, however, as a recent video feature […]

News Fanatec announces Formula Rim for CSR Elite

A new Formula rim will be available for the Fanatec CSR Elite wheel, it's been announced.

It all sounds appealing for those who want a more authentic wheel for F1 […]

News Codemasters “actively working on” GRiD 2, to be released after F1 2012

We're big fans of the DiRT series, but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. With 4 iterations of DiRT released on the current crop of consoles, it's disheartening to find Codemasters' flagship tarmac racer GRiD sorely neglected, with just 1 release since 2008. Fortunately, we already know that Codemasters are hard […]

Reviews rSeat Evo Video Review

For hardcore racing game enthusiasts, simply owning a wheel isn't enough.

After replacing his ever faithful Playseat, Alan […]

News Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends UK release remains uncertain

The road to the release of Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends has been a long and bumpy one, to say the least. Since it was announced last November in the faintest of whispers, details were worryingly scarce to the point we weren't even completely sure who was developing it. Since then, details, screenshots and even […]

Features Goodwood Festival of Speed – Moving Motor Show round-up

There was once a time when the Lord March’s car-orientated ‘garden party’ was just a small event on a Sunday, but oh how have things changed. 19 years after the first Festival of Speed was held, and it’s now ballooned into a massive four day event that celebrates everything to do with automobiles. We were […]

News Jack Reacher trailer stars a Chevrolet Chevelle

With the exception of Safe House, which featured an above average chase with a BMW 730i being put through its paces, 2012 has been rather lackluster when it comes to exhilerating movie car chases. Fortunately, things look to be picking up with the likes of The Bourne Legacy and Skyfall due to cure my cravings […]

News Death Rally returns to PC

It's been 16 years since the original Death Rally blasted onto PC and practically pioneered the car combat genre, but it's now finally returning to its roots on August 3rd after a successful mobile port last year.

News Forza Motorsport 4’s July DLC is the fastest car pack yet

It’s very rare to see a DLC pack for Forza Motorsport 4 that doesn’t come with a name associated with car mags or a motoring product of some sorts – in stark contrast, the guys at Turn 10 have labelled the 12th consecutive downloadable goody bag for Forza Motorsport 4 as simply the ‘July Car […]

News Aston Martin unveils new Vanquish

It’s safe to say that, in regards to the name of the brand’s new flagship, Aston Martin is taking quite a big risk by calling it the ‘Vanquish’. After all, the original is a highly important car for the brand (not only has it influenced the design and technology that’s underpinned almost every other Aston […]

News Criterion takes control of Need for Speed

Need for Speed's constant shift between developers could be about to come to an end, as Criterion have declared they will be taking over the franchise for the forseeable future.
