By Justin Melillo, Ross McGregor and Thomas Harrison-Lord With the impending launch of Gran Turismo 7 on 4th March 2022 for PlayStation 4 and 5, we’d thought we’d look back at the storied racing game series so far. The last numbered release was Gran Turismo 6 way back in 2013 – staggeringly over eight years…Continue reading “Which Gran Turismo game is the best?”»

Nearly 10 million players, at the last time of counting, 96 articles on Traxion.GG and a pioneering ranked online racing mode – it’s been a good innings for Gran Turismo Sport, but it’s all about the end.

Next year will mark the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, first run in 1923. 99 years ago it was called the ‘Grand Prix of Speed and Endurance/Rudge-Withworth Cup’, with 33 cars on the grid and only two drivers per entry. André Lagache and René Léonard were the inaugural winners.  Since then the race has evolved quite a bit, and so have video games. It’s fitting…Continue reading “99 years later: GT Sport Daily Races w/c 24th January 2022”»

As we approach the end of 2021, and the 49th article about GT Sport’s ranked online Daily Races schedule by Traxion.GG, it’s time to reflect upon what makes the Japanese racing scene so vibrant.  There’s Suzuka for one. The International Racing Course first opened in 1962 and is run by the wonderfully esoteric Mobilityland Corporation, a subsidiary of Honda. It’s been home to the Japanese Grand Prix…Continue reading “Japan’s motorsport heritage: GT Sport Daily Races w/c 27th December 2021”»

When I think of Britain, I think of National Trust stately homes, cups of tea, Marmite and a bespoke sports car. All very Downton Abbey.  And this week’s GT Sport online Daily Races encapsulate the mood, as one of the events is driving an Aston Martin around the lauded Goodwood Motor Circuit. Tally-ho This 2005-2017-era Aston Martin Vantage you shall be at…Continue reading “National trust: GT Sport Daily Races, w/c 20th December 2021”»
