From his Twitter feed: “We aren’t currently working on PGR. I […]

NASCAR Manager Out Now for Mobile
Behind every successful racing team, there’s a stressed out manager juggling statistics, spreadsheets and schedules. Now, you can be that guy, with ETX Racing’s new mobile game, NASCAR Manager. OK, it’s probably not that ulcer inducing. This is a video game, after all. ETX promises their new game will provide the thrill of victory through strategy. “Winning the Sprint Cup is about so much more than the fastest driver. Strategic […]
Project Cars adds Radical Sportscars to its Lineup
Project CARS, the upcoming community-funded racing game from Slightly Mad Studios, already has enough flash to throw around, so adding these gorgeous prototype racers from Radical Sportscars hardly seems fair. Slightly Mad’s newly announced collaboration with the British car company will bring three of Radical’s cars to the lineup: • The Radical SR3, which is “built on a spaceframe chassis and “powered by a 260hp Powertec 1500cc 4-cylinder engine.” • The SR8 […]

Gran Turismo Champ Jann Mardenborough will Drive for Arden in GP3
If Gran Turismo ever needs to defend the use of its “The Real Driving Simulator” tagline, exhibit A will be Jann Mardenborough.

Mario Kart 8 is Out May 30, and it’s Bringing the Koopalings
They may be mostly named after 80s celebrities and musicians that its primary audience has never heard of, and they may have been retconned to where they’re no longer actually Bowser’s kids, but the Koopalings are joining the lineup for Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. All seven made the cut, even Morton Koopa Jr. The characters were announced during yesterday’s Nintendo direct video press release, which also gave […]
Need for Speed Movie Revs Up Its Publicity Engine
Video game to movie adaptations usually don’t go that well. I think I’m still psychologically scarred from seeing Hollywood’s version of Super Mario Bros. as a child. But movies with bitching car chase and racing scenes usually kick ass. So I’m torn about Need For Speed. This new video from the movie’s official YouTube page at least shows star Aaron Paul and the rest of the cast have the right […]

Eutechnyx’s EVP, Ed Martin, explained the reasoning to Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard: “We took […]
Forza Player’s Design Becomes Real-Life Car
Real life cars inspiring racing game cars is just the way racing games work, but the other way around is a lot rarer.

According to Honda the design was selected from nearly 170 entries in the Forza Motorsport Civic Si Design Contest and created by Forza gamer Tiffany […]
