Il team Sector3 annuncia con uno screenshot il prossimo arrivo per il suo RaceRoom Racing Experience, dell'addon DTM Experience 2014, che ci permetterà di rivivere l'attuale stagione dell'appassionante campionato turismo tedesco.

DTM Experience 2014 coming soon - check out the first screenshot of DTM Experience 2014 and the video with 2013 DTM Champion Mike Rockenfeller and his Audi Sport RS 5 DTM

Arriva oggi l'episodio numero 13 della saga video dedicata a Project CARS: il trailer ci mostra quel che c'è da sapere riguardo le strategie, la preparazione ed un pizzico di fortuna... Potete ammirare tutti i video precedenti nell'apposito topic del forum.

Bandai Namco e Slightly Mad Studios hanno pubblicato il nuovo trailer per Project CARS, dedicato al prossimo Halloween, chiamato "The Green Hell": il riferimento è all'Inferno Verde del Nürburgring Nordschleife, celebre tracciato tedesco particolarmente amato/odiato dagli appassionati di motori. Tutto il filmato ha un tono alquanto oscuro in stile Halloween, in tema con l'inferno verde rappresentato. Project CARS è atteso per il 20 marzo 2015 su PC, PlayStation 4 e Xbox One, mentre su Wii U arriverà in primavera.

This trailer exemplifies our approach that everything we put into Project CARS not only has to look absolutely stunning but must add additional gameplay. Not only does it showcase the incredible visual fidelity that allows this iconic track to be recreated with absolute perfection, but it also highlights the added challenge that racing at night and in severe weather conditions brings - especially in a tight pack of extremely fast GT spec cars. So sit back and enjoy the thrill and drama of this descent into The Green Hell and Happy Halloween!

Il team di iRacing ha rilasciato in nottata la nuova build Season 4 del simulatore americano. Fra le novità più interessanti di questo aggiornamento troviamo la possibilità di effettuare il cambio pilota per le gare endurance, il supporto ad Oculus Rift, il tracciato di Gateway Park, la nuovissima Holden V8 Commodore (nel video sotto) e la versione GT3 della Ford GT.

The highly-anticipated team racing/driver swap feature headlines an iRacing 2014 Season 4 build that also includes a great new track and cars along with support for the latest technology from Oculus Rift. The Team Racing feature allows multiple iRacing members to ‘team up’ and race together, share driving duties, spot for one another and serve as crew chief, race engineer . . . you name it. Moreover, the driver swap function will enable iRacing and private leagues to stage true endurance sim races with driver changes akin to those in classic long distance events like the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring.

The new build also includes a laser-scanned version of Gateway Motorsports Park with its 1.25 mile oval and 1.65 mile road course, along with a digital version of the Holden VF Commodore Jamie Whincup piloted to the 2013 V8 Supercar Championship (and in which he holds a commanding lead in the 2014 points race) as well as a GT3 version of the existing Ford GT. In addition, the build features added support for the Oculus Rift DK2 utilizing the 0.4.2 SDK, including several custom bug fixes.

Il team di iRacing ci mostra in anteprima con il video che potete trovare qui sotto, il nuovo sistema di cambio pilota che sarà attivato con la nuova build del simulatore americano di prossimo arrivo. Ecco quindi il sistema di registrazione del pilota che permetterà poi in gara al vostro compagno di prendere il vostro posto in abitacolo.

In anticipation of the upcoming Team Racing feature, iRacing provides a more in-depth look at how to familiarize yourself with the new team registration system, and demonstrates how easy it is to driver swap!
