We're proud to announce that the Volkswagen Beetle GRC car will be included in iRacing's upcoming rallycross feature as free content - coming Fall 2017.

Ghost Gamed ed Electronic Arts hanno finalmente svelato il nuovo gioco della serie Need for Speed, denominato Payback, che sarà disponibile a partire dal 10 novembre per PlayStation 4, Xbox One e PC. Non manca il classico trailer di lancio. Ambientato nella fittizia Fortune Valley, i giocatori dovranno mettersi nei panni di tre personaggi, per distruggere il cartello La Loggia, un'organizzazione che controlla interamente la città.

Sarà presente la personalizzazione delle auto, con i giocatori che potranno "creare e personalizzare una auto unica, oppure spendere ore trovando, modificando e migliorando dei rottami per trasformarli in delle supercar. Potranno spingere le loro auto al limite e scommettere sulle loro stesse performance. In questi casi, potranno moltiplicare i loro guadagni o rischiare di perdere tutto".

Tutti coloro che effettueranno il pre-order del gioco riceveranno due bonus: il Platinum Car Pack e l'accesso istantaneo a cinque auto iconiche e personalizzate al lancio, con l'esclusiva Platinum Blue Tire Smoke. Questi i contenuti del Car Pack:

• Nissan 350Z 2008

• Chevrolet Camaro SS 1967

• Dodge Charger R/T 1969

• Ford F-150 Raptor 2016

• Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport 2016

Need for Speed: Payback sarà disponibile in due versioni: standard e Deluxe Edition. Quest'ultima includerà esclusivi oggetti di personalizzazione (come ad esempio la targa della Deluxe Edition), il colore NOS, sconti in gioco, bonus reputazione e il Platinum Cark Pack. In aggiunta, tutti i possessori di questa edizione potranno iniziare a giocare tre giorni prima rispetto alla data di lancio. Need for Speed: Payback si potrà giocare a partire dal 2 novembre su Xbox One e PC grazie a EA e Origin Access, per le prime 10 ore di gioco.

We are back live, with some important game updates and new content!

- New Data displays incl. Live Delta Timing
- New Flag Options (Off, Black only, Visual only, Full)
- Improved performance in Replays

Known Issues:

• Hockenheimring: Some of the curbs are missing.
• The new Flag Rule Settings are not available for MP.

We will release a hotfix patch tomorrow to fix these issues.

Game:

• Changed the flag rule setting and added a new flag rule setting “Visual Only” which means all flags get triggered and shown but there are no penalties applied with exception of black flag. (SP only for now)
• Added Display mode with settings windowed, borderless windowed and full-screen.
• Fixed issue in data displays where standings page kept ghost entries when you were in the lead.
• Introduced delta timing in data displays.
• Fixed some occurrences of yellow flags for DNF cars.
• Disabled displaying of yellow, blue, black & white and white flags while player is in pitlane.
• Removed so slower class in multiclass race doesn't trigger white flag.
• Disabled slip effects while changing tires during a pitstop.
• Changed so content ownership isn’t required to load a replay file.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when processing a camera reset callback after returning to menu.
• Updated Fanatec SDK to 3.0. This should also fix the issue some players experience with their CSW 2.5.
• Fixed issue with replays not using asynchronous rendering.
• Fixed issue with an uninitialized variable when using Fanatec wheel.
• Fixed an issue where H-Pattern mode would reset to Neutral when race start sequence starts.Thanks to Franconen and team-gtr3.fr for the report.
• Fixed issue with Multiplayer advertisement banners not getting saved in replays.
• Fixed an issue that could occur in game session if the player has a lag spike of over 10 seconds during certain sequences.
• Game now invalidates both current and next laps in qualifying sessions, leaderboards and competitions if the player goes off track or wall rides in the last corners of a track.
• Made brake disks pre-heated when starting a Time Attack session

VR:

• Bloom and Light Shaft effects are now disabled in VR.
• Made the HUD size dependent on the distance to it.
• Made it possible to adjust the distance to the HUD via two bindable keys.
• Fixed the rendering of particles and contact shadows.
• Made the game use the SteamVR settings panel's/config file's resolution setting to set the resolution for the eyes instead of a number argument following "-vr" or "-oldvr". Any such number in the argument is now ignored.

Multiplayer:

• Fixed so player nodes are marked as inactive and kept by the server if a player disconnects during a race session. This fixes the issue with broken results because of players leaving the server too early after a race. Also fixes results for spectators joining late.
• Fixed so checkered phase ends directly when all vehicles have finished.
• Fixed an issue with spectators not being able to join full servers.

Codemasters ci presenta oggi la prima delle 4 monoposto storiche che saranno protagoniste del prossimo F1 2017: si tratta della Red Bull RB6, che trionfò nel 2010 con Vettel e Webber. Vi ricordiamo che le altre 3 vetture storiche sono la McLaren MP4/4 1988 (di Alain Prost e Ayrton Senna), Williams FW14B 1992 (di Nigel Mansell e Riccardo Patrese), e la Ferrari F2002 (di Rubens Barrichello e Michael Schumacher).

Following our announcement of the official videogame of the 2017 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™ and the information that classic F1 cars are making their glorious return to the series, everyone seems to be very excited about F1 2017 landing this August! Sure, we’ve also got an even deeper career mode, numerous multiplayer enhancements, and a brand new ‘Championships’ game mode – but we know that you’d all like to know what other classic cars will be joining the the 1988 McLaren MP4/4 (as driven by Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna), the 1992 Williams FW14B (raced by Nigel Mansell and Riccardo Patrese), and the 2002 Ferrari F2002 (piloted by Rubens Barrichello and Michael Schumacher).

So, on that note, we’re absolutely delighted to unveil the 2010 Red Bull Racing RB6 as the fourth classic F1 car that will feature in the game:

Hit play on the brand new trailer showcasing the World Constructors’ Championship-winning 2010 Red Bull Racing RB6, as driven by the 2010 World Champion Sebastian Vettel and team mate Mark Webber. As you may have suspected, further classic cars will be revealed in the coming weeks – so keep your eyes on our blog and our social channels for those as they arrive.

For those of you who don’t know too much about this beautiful car, let us tell you a little more about its history. The Red Bull Racing RB6 was an incredibly dominant car, with nine wins, 15 pole positions and six fastest laps across the 2010 Championship season.

Christian Horner, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing said: “The RB6 is our first Championship winning car, and as such is very special to us. 2010 was a dream year for Red Bull Racing, to achieve our ambition and to do so in such a compelling and dominant fashion was a fitting testament to the car, the drivers and commitment of the team. We are delighted the RB6 is included in the new F1 game as a classic car, it’s certainly a classic to us and I’m sure gamers will love driving it and trying to recreate those golden moments on track.”

Those of you who pre-order or pick up Day One copies of F1 2017 will have exclusive access to the iconic 1988 McLaren MP4/4, as part of the ‘F1 2017 Special Edition.’ Alternatively, the McLaren MP4/4 car will be available to be purchased at a later date. However, please rest assured that the eleven other classic cars are available in all editions of the game.

Dopo il rilascio dell'ultima versione 1.4, con le novità di Hockenheim e Formula Ultimate, il team Reiza Studios torna ad aggiornarci con un nuovo development update riguardo lo sviluppo del suo ottimo Automobilista. In particolare, Reiza sta lavorando ad importanti migliorie alla IA, audio, grafica (comprese nuove tute "storiche"), un tool per le stagioni personalizzate ed altro ancora. Correte a questo link per tutti i dettagli e commenti.

Hello everyone! We´re back for another Automobilista Development Update - not many of these to go now! As you may have noticed, we missed out on publishing a dev update last month - apologies for that, hopefully the v1.4 changelog will be convincing enough evidence we weren´t just slacking off

It´s actually getting a bit tricky to share many details about what we´re doing in these final stages of AMS development as we´re getting more into exploring new grounds and doing some experimenting without knowing for sure what will pan out and how soon - that naturally makes it harder to provide much of a foresight without feeding expectations that may not be realistic on the short term. With that in mind this month´s update is mostly retrospective on the work done for v1.4, while still providing some glimpses as to what comes next!
