The ambitious team at Slightly Mad Studios are on a mission: to make Project CARS as true to life as possible, from the photorealistic graphics and as-accurate-as-can-be physics, to the radical career path replicating that of a real racing driver. In order to attest its authenticity, TeamVVV were invited to a special media day at […]

Much has been made of Milestone's forthcoming PS4 port of motocross sim MXGP, which will contain a myriad of improvements following fan feedback. So far we've seen a few screenshots showing some of the increased detail on display, but Gamescom gave us a chance to see it in motion for the first time with an […]

Triple screen setups are a commonplace for PC racing game enthusiasts allowing for maximum immersion, but it's not quite as straight forward for console users as you normally need three consoles and three copies of the same game to run in a triple screen configuration. Some games don't support it at all, however – Forza […]

It's rare to be able to say that all bases are covered in the racing genre, but this will be true at the end of this year as each offer will have something different to offer. PC players have the preposterously pretty Project CARS. PS4 players have the long-delayed DriveClub. And Xbox One players will […]

We've seen plenty of Project CARS on its home PC platform where it truly shines, but we've yet to see how it compares on PS4 in motion. Gamescom was therefore a golden opportunity for Slightly Mad Studios to showcase their baby to PS4 players pining for a serious racing game in the absence of Gran […]

If we're being honest, DriveClub's showing at last year's Gamescom was a tad underwhelming. For all its promises of taking visuals to the next level, it clearly wasn't close to being finished despite being only months away from release at the time, and the driving experience left a lot to be desired. Fast forward one […]

After being curiously absent at E3 this year, the long-delayed DriveClub had a star showing at Gamescom, as members of Evolution Studios took to the stage in a live demonstration of its integral club social mechanics. New details were also announced on the role of the DriveClub companion app, which can be used to keep […]

Social features have been a recurring trend in the current crop of next-gen racers, with the likes of DriveClub and The Crew pummeling you incessently with their pledges to provide community support for cooperative and competitive online racing. Turn10's Forza Horizon 2 is no different, as this new trailer released to coincide with  Gamescom showcases. […]

Gamescom is here, an event that is often unfairly perceived as the second rate Euro-equivalent of E3, and we expect to learn more about some of this year's hotly anticipated racing game.   Kicking things off is a fresh glimpse of Slightly Mad's free-to-play World of Speed with a Gamescom trailer promoting its team racing […]

Following its initial announcement last week, Forza Horizon 2 got a full showing at Microsoft's E3 press conference, showcasing the first footage of Playground Games' open world sequel and confirming September 30th as the date we'll be let loose in Horizon 2's exotic driving playground.

Over the past week I’ve been getting behind the wheel on a range of cars for Codemasters upcoming Grid Autosport, first to test the cars and get an idea on handling, then we’ll look to the wide array of options and game structure. Suffice to say that at this stage the handling features a much […]

With less than a month to go until MotoGP '14 rides onto consoles and PC, Milestone's refusal show it off in motion has been puzzling.

Milestone's specialist racing titles often get criticised for having subpar visuals. With MotoGP '14 however, it's fair to say they've upped their game considerably. And we've got some exclusive gameplay footage to prove it.  The following footage was captured from the PC version, in what is an exclusive first look at the revamped replay cameras. […]

Its release was teased sometime ago, but it's now available to purchase in the free-to-play sim's store for 299 vRP.    This turbocharged Audi Quattro is something of a motorsport icon, having competed in the American IMSA in the late '90s. It […]

Back in November, Evolution Studios started to release some teasingly short snippets of raw DriveClub gameplay footage, with the promise of showing a full race gameplay video soon after.

It wasn't all plain sailing however, as Trials Fusion is the latest multiplatform release to perform better on PS4 than Xbox One – ironic when this is the first time […]

It's a well known cliche that every 2D top-down racer ever will inevitably be compared to Codemasters' classic Micro Machines. And that's exactly what new London-based indie developer Ludobit has done in the press release for their debut free-to-play title Wreck'em Racing: "If you loved Micro Machines back in the day, then Wreck’em Racing is […]

A new trailer has been released for Grip Games' upcoming console remake of the mobile hit Jet Car Stunts, a game that bares more than a passing resemblance to Trials with its addictive platform gameplay and punishing difficulty. Coincidentally, Trials Fusion was released today just as this trailer was released. The trailer reminds us exactly […]

Another week, another F1 2013 video, this time taking a spin in the ’96 Ferrari driven by Michael Schumacher around the twisty banked corners of Estoril. a course that’s great fun to drive but also retains a certain historical character that really works with these older cars.  Of course the big news today is that […]

DriveClub isn't the the only next generation driving game playing hard-to-get, y'know.

Racing games don't come more controversial than Carmageddon. In 1997, it was up there with GTA in the video game nasties hall of fame. This was a game that depicted graphic scenes of cars ploughing into pedestrians, so It's difficult to see why. Things are a little different now in 2014, and Carmageddon's ultra violence […]

MXGP is released on Friday and you’ll all finally have an opportunity to get a hands-on Milestone’s latest foray into the world of biking.
