Every year we get a new F1 game from EA with new cars, new tracks and updated driver information. They also tend to add a couple of new features that essentially justify it being a full game and not just DLC being sold as a full-priced game. We'll discuss in this article everything we know so far about the game. What's new? The game will be released on 31 May 2024 on PC, Playstation and Xbox. Owners of F1 21, F1 22 and F1 23 will get a 15% discount if they preorder F1 24. This is of course good news for gamers that are planning to buy the game regardless of whether it may be a good game or a ..read more

There a few super popular series on iRacing like the IMSA series and Formula 4 that see full grids over multiple splits on every time slot. You will always find a race in series like these no matter what time of day it. However, there are also series that are not popular at all and finding a race that has sufficient participation to allow it to go official is quite tricky. The iRacing Grand Prix Series is one such series. It is essentially dead for most of the race week with only one or two time slots going official. The problem is that there a lot of drivers out there that enjoy the challeng ..read more

We wrote previously about Rennsport and their general lack of communication as well as the very slow development process. We also wrote a short review on the Rennsport closed beta and didn't really look further into the game till now. New Roadmap Rennsport released a brand new roadmap for the game detailing the various milestones that we can expect over the coming months. The roadmap breaks down 2024 into four quarters with one milestone per quarter. Rennsport Roadmap 2024Q1 - Time Trial This milestone includes the inclusion of the Goodwood Hillclimb, day/night transitions and a new Time Tria ..read more

Prototype racing is exceptionally popular now with the Hypercar category of cars leading the way. The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) is widely regarded as the pinnacle of endurance racing with the USA-based IMSA SportsCar Championship coming in a close second. The LMP2 category in the WEC was removed for the 2024 season with only Hypercars and GT3 remaining. However, LMP2 and more specifically, the Dallara P217 LMP2 lives on in iRacing in various series. We've written previously several times about multi-class racing and covered some of the skills you will need to navigate traffic and ..read more

We had high hopes for Le Mans Ultimate when we wrote about the game at the end of 2023. We anticipated a fully-fledged game that would represent the complete 2023 season of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The game was initially going to be released at the end of 2023 but was moved to 20 February 2024. We assumed that Le Mans Ultimate would be released on this date as the complete game we've been waiting for. However, that changed yesterday. What does Early Access mean for you? You will get the game on launch day at a discounted price but still have access to the majority of its content ..read more

Many sim racers find it very difficult to find out why they are slow and what must be done to improve. We've written previously on the basics of using telemetry to get a better understanding of what you and the car are doing but it can become quite technical the deeper you go into the analysis process. There's also the option of driver coaching but that can become costly very quickly. What if there was a way to analyse your driving and then provide a simple report on which areas you're doing well at and which areas you're lacking in? This is where Trophi.ai comes in ..read more

EA is rolling out patch V1.19 across all platforms today with several fixes but no new content or new features. Important changes The McLaren chrome livery now renders correctly. This livery was available as a reward to players who completed the Lando Norris Challenge that was released towards the end of last year. It was quite a popular challenge meaning that a huge number of players will be affected by this fix. One other change that we found unusual was the removal of DLSS frame generation. This is a big performance feature that's now not available without any explanation. We're expecting ..read more

We first wrote about GT2 cars coming to Assetto Corsa Competizione in August 2022. It's been a long wait but the GT2 pack is finally here with one nice surprise. The Cars The pack is on Steam now for $17.99 and comprises the following six cars: KTM X-Bow GT2 Porsche 935 Maserati MC20 GT2 Mercedes-AMG GT2 Audi R8 LMS GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo As usual, the cars are presented in amazing detail with beautiful paint schemes and excellent sound effects. We drove a few laps with the KTM X-Box and enjoyed its awesome engine note and surprisingly good handling. It's quick in a straight l ..read more

F1 eSports really started to take off during the COVID-19 lockdown with incredibly close racing combined with rivetting team tactics and clever pit stops and tyre strategies. Some drivers made huge sacrifices by putting their studies on hold while others put their careers on hold just to make time to practice and race in high-level leagues like PSGL and WOR all in preparation for the official F1 eSports Championship. History of the series The series was founded in 2017 and British driver Brendon Leigh was crowned as the inaugural champion. Brendon went on to win the championship again in 2018 ..read more

Multi-class racing especially the IMSA series is extremely popular on iRacing with full grids across multiple splits and tends to provide the best blend of challenge and enjoyment. However, there are other, slightly less popular but arguably more interesting multi-class series on iRacing that we think you may also enjoy. iRacing recently introduced Proto/GT Challenge that's similar to the IMSA Series but also different enough that we think makes it an excellent alternative. The Cars The Proto-GT Challenge comprises three classes of vehicles that are made up of one prototype and two GT categor ..read more
