Image Space Incorporated recently announced the exciting addition of historic prototype racecars coming to rFactor 2, and now we finally get to see them in action courtesy of a new intense gameplay trailer produced by one of rFactor 2's resident beta testers.  The car featured in the video was apparently one of the first cars […]

Sony's Gamescom conference commenced today, and predictably Gran Turismo 6 was given significant spotlight when it came to discussing the PS3's upcoming exclusives as it begins to settle down for retirement to make way for the newborn PS4. With it came a rather rousing new trailer showcasing a number of new cars, as well as […]

Following their teaser trailer in the run-up to Gamescom, Milestone has released a more extended look at WRC 4 with a new gameplay run-through.  The video, which was taken from the PC version of the game, takes us through the narrow scenic Finland stage in the new 2013 Volkswagen Polo R WRC: Again, we can see […]

Ahead of its reveal next week at Gamescom, Milestone have released the first teaser trailer for WRC 4, giving us a brief gameplay glimpse of the 2013 Citroen DS3 driven by Mikko Hirvonen and 9-times World Champion Sébastien Loeb hurtling round the snowy Sweeden stage. The visuals appear to be have been subtly refined with sharper textures, […]

After its initial announcement last week, Codemasters have now confirmed that F1 2013, the follow-up to last year's F1 2012, will be racing to retail this October on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC – October 4th, to be precise.  In honor of the confirmed release date and this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, a new on-board […]

After the feature's first announcement a short while ago, the first video of Assetto Corsa's Autovista-esque 'Showroom Mode' has surfaced. Uploaded onto YouTube by user "markus72000" (who we assume is an employee at Kunos Simulazioni, the Italian game development studio behind Assetto Corsa), the video showcases a Pagani Huayra in the default garage template that […]

The all-important release date of Assetto Corsa is said to be coming soon, but as we continue to wait patiently Kunos Simulazioni continue to tease us with cruelly brief snippets of off-screen video footage showing the game in action. This latest gameplay sample is taken from a replay showing a McLaren MP4-12C GT3 tearing round what […]

Auto Club Revolution is an online multiplayer experience at heart, but Eutechnyx are mindful that some players may find its online world rather daunting and stick to single player in order to hone their skills.  With this in mind, an option to race against AI drivers will be added to Auto Club Revolution in a […]

Just in time for the British Grand Prix this weekend, our last look at Gran Turismo 6 from E3 takes place on the iconic Silverstone circuit, which makes its belated GT debut. It's great to finally see Silverstone make an appearance in Gran Turismo, although at this stage its colour palette looks a tad too […]

We've finally done it. We've finally found another man of Alan's ginormouse stature who is willing to clamber into a cramped racing cockpit for the cameras. This latest 'tall man friendly test' was performed at E3 on the Ubisoft stand displaying The Crew in its showpiece triple screen setup and motion rig. Our mysterious tall […]

Two new in-game previews of Assetto Corsa have been released, showcasing the street-legal and racing cars in action . The road car aspect of the title has been showcased in an off-screen video captured on an iPad, depicting a brief duel between a Pagani Huayra and a McLaren MP4-12C.  Kunos Simulazioni didn't disclose details on […]

Ubisoft Reflection's Driver San Francisco featured some of the most refreshingly innovative open world multiplayer modes thanks to its ingenious shift mechanic that allowed you to zoom out of the map and span instantaneously into other moving cars, making for some frantic, chaotic and unpredictable matches that often resembled the chase scene in The Matrix […]

As shown by our of recent run of E3 videos, not everyone is an expert at playing racing games – when asking if we could film passers-by on an E3 games booth, it's fair to say there was a decidedly mixed set of driving skill levels on display to put it politely.  So, when given […]

It's fast becoming common knowledge that The Crew will put the 'massive' into massively multiplayer online racing.  Spanning some 5,000sq km, Ubisoft have taken on quite an audacious task to say the least: to create a richly detailed open world representing the entirety of the US.- So far, we've seen condensed versions of New York, Los […]

It's been revealed that one of the seven new tracks to feature in Gran Turismo 6 will be the US Willow Springs circuit, a track that is not often seen in racing games.  It's surprising, to be honest, as Willow Springs has a lot of racing pedigree. Founded in 1952, Willow Springs is heralded as […]

Our latest look at Gran Turismo 6 from E3 takes us round the new mountainous Matterhorn Circuit, as part of GT6's seven new locations which also include Silverstone.  Unfortunately, while we were able to get direct audio, the music sound settings were dialed up and drowned out the engine sounds, so you'll have to make do […]

While trawling through the exciting E3 show-floor we were surprised to find The Crew available to play on a triple screen with a wheel – a swanky setup normally reserved for high-end racing titles. Indeed, f the handling from Driver: San Francisco is anything to go by i'm not entirely convinced The Crew will lend […]

Ubisoft's ambitious open world driving game The Crew was one of the standout surprises at E3 for automotive fans, and we're now able to blow the doors wide open with a series of gameplay videos taken directly from the show-floor. I'm a massive fan of open world city driving games having racked up the hours […]

Following on from our initial first look and analysis video, we present to you our first piece of pure Driveclub gameplay footage. And, as with our inaugural Gran Turismo 6 E3 clip, this short reel also showcases the audio on this incredibly early build of Evolution Studios' social-centric racing game. Whilst the E3 demo you […]

With so much of our E3 video coverage documenting Forza Motorsport 5 at this moment in time, you'd be forgiven for thinking we've neglected its arch-but-not-exactly-direct rival, Gran Turismo 6. All that's changed, now, as we've finally got hold of an off-camera film reel of the Sony booth's GT6 demo in action. And, best of […]

We've said it before and we'll say it again: visually, Forza Motorsport 5 is setting the standard for next generation racing titles to follow, and it's looking every bit as good in-game as the initial trailers led us to believe which our E3 gameplay footage will testify.  We scoured the show-floor to bring you some […]

Much mystery still surrounds Evolution Studio's pet project DriveClub, which represents their first foray into the next generation. While the team are keen to spout out corporate jargon about how DriveClub will revolutionise the racing genre with its suite of social community components, it's still unclear how the concept will work in-game. It's a similar […]

Grid 2 prides itself on its sheer variety of racing disciplines, offering everything from touring cars and European hot hatchbacks, to Japanese drifters and US muscle cars. And yet, strangely, there's a distinct lack of open wheel racing cars in comparison to the original Grid, which featured Formula Fords among others that were terrific fun […]

As more people get to lay their hands on development kits for the head-tracking Oculus Rift VR headset, more titles are being tested with the promising device. F1 2012 is one of the first racing games to be given the Oculus Rift treatment, and a new demonstration video gives us an insight into how Oculus […]

It's no secret that Codemasters' decision not to include a cockpit camera in Grid 2 prompted some serious backlash from the community. Watch any one of our Grid 2 videos and you're almost guaranteed to find a damning user comment about the controversial omission.  Codemasters insist that it was removed in order to optimise the […]

While we wait to get our own hands on Grid 2 due out this week, we thought we'd share this gameplay video review courtesy of our sister Eurogamer network channel Outside Xbox.  While much praise was given to Grid 2's graphical prowess and damage modelling, Outside Xbox criticised its repetitive career mode, limited car selection […]

Continuing our extensive Grid 2 play-through, Alan got a chance to have a quick demonstration of LiveRoutes in action on the Dubai circuit, Codemaster's innovative new gimmick that dynamically alters the route of the track after each lap. Racing round the street circuit of Dubai, here we see Grid 2 at its most visceral, as […]

Codemasters continue their tour of Grid 2's global assortment of tracks in the Undcovered video series. This latest look takes us to Miami behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang Boss 302, in a bumper to bumper race on a comact street circuit that should look familiar if you've played DiRT Showdown. ​Discuss Grid 2 […]
