    Silverstone's Lost Thrill Turn: Remembering Bridge Corner

    Each year, the British Grand Prix is one of the highlights of the Formula One season: Silverstone was the site of the first-ever World Championship race in 1950, and most of the current teams have their headquarters set up close to the circuit, giving it a "home game" type of atmosphere. The...

    Image credit: Playground Games/Xbox Game Studios The popularity of racing games and simulations is hard to gauge, especially since they seem to vary considerably around the releases of new content, big updates or even influences of real-world events. What can be gauged, however, is cold, hard...

    rF2 INDIANAPOLIS 250(km) SPECIAL EVENT - Mon 29th May 2023

    The Indy 500 rather arrogantly declarers itself to be the Greatest Spectacle in racing. "One of" maybe, but "The" is an arguable point. Anyway, that doesn't really matter as instead we will be following the Great Race with our own Great Race on the following day, as we host Race Department's...

    Rookie Advice: Don't Be Afraid of Online Racing

    Going out of your comfort zone can be difficult, as the name implies. For sim racers who just started out, this applies to multiplayer races in many cases - they are frequently concerned about not being able to keep up or ruin everyone else's race. Still, it would pay off for them to jump in -...

    Where are all the Hypercars?

    Sports car racing is a discipline of golden ages: The Group 4 era of the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512, Group C madness in the 1980s, and, more recently, the LMP1 rocketships of big manufacturers battling out on track. The Hypercar era in IMSA and WEC has reignited interest in these big-scale...

    Tyre Scrub Sound Missing

    I have noticed that on some of the S397 cars some of the tyre scrub sounds are missing. For example the BTCC 2022 BMW has no sound when the tyres lose grip. I can hear if the tyres lock under braking, but in lateral slides I can loop the car and hear nothing from the tyres. This is the same...
