When it comes to engine sound effects, Gran Turismo gets a lot of flack. And rightly so: the engines have always sounded artificial; far from the visceral sound your ears are treated to in real life when you're behind the wheel of a car with potent power. With the unveil of Gran Turismo Sport this […]

NewsWe round out our PlayStation 4 Assetto Corsa preview coverage with a no comment video featuring the replay footage of the somewhat bonkers Ferrari FXXK.
