2014 is here, in what promises to be an exciting year for racing games as we start to see the leading developers utilise the horsepower of the next generation consoles while the PC racing simulation continues to strive and evolve with the final releases of Assetto Corsa and Project CARS. Plenty for us to cover throughout the year, then. 

In our first video round-up of the year, we outline some of the content you can expect on the site over the next month before delving into recent hot topics in the world of racing games that has been flooding the site over the past week, from the success stories of Next Car Game doubling its sales in just one week and Forza Motorsport 5 surpassing one million online players, to the not-so-good news that the Co-Founders of Criterion Games have left the studio and Gran Turismo 5 is to have its online multiplayer shutdown plus new car announcements such as the fetching LaFerrari for Assetto Corsa and the Honda Civic NGTC for rFactor 2
