Lo sviluppo dell'auto ha avuto inizio dando carta bianca ai giovani progettisti di Nissan Design Europe a Londra. Il loro incarico era semplice: creare la sportiva dei sogni. Gli ingegneri del Nissan Technical Centre hanno quindi inserito le loro considerazioni tecniche nel progetto, andando così a creare una sinergia fra design e tecnologia per l'intero processo di sviluppo.

La "NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo" è una vettura che propone nuove possibilità per la progettazione delle sportive del futuro. Nei prossimi giorni forniremo ulteriori notizie a riguardo!

This patch will be a bit hefty as it includes a lot of updated and new content. With this patch we are also finalizing the corner marker updates as we are updating all the DTM tracks.

If everything works out well with the initial MP Alpha, we will then patch the game again to enable it to all DTM Experience players. That patch will also include some new content for upcoming competitions and some more.

We have done and continue to do vast improvements and additions to the overall force feedback. There are some fundamental changes which require some extensive tests but soon we will be able to share them with you. The temporary R3E menu is shaping up nicely and we are working on the R3E Single Race components now.

Art is busy as usual with a lot of new content. Here are some WIP shots of some cars we have in the works. Enjoy Le Mans

Con un nuovo post sul blog ufficiale, il team Slightly Mad Studios inizia a svelarci le caratteristiche della modalità carriera del suo prossimo Project CARS. Come si può notare, la "carriera" di gioco è stata pensata per replicare tutto quello che può succedere intorno ad un moderno pilota di vetture da corsa.

Il team Slightly Mad Studios non poteva di certo mancare dall'E3 di Los Angeles: ecco quindi arrivare un video di anteprima dedicato al prossimo World of Speed, che ci mostra le differenze estetiche e di prestazioni ottenibili con la personalizzazione del veicolo. Vi ricordiamo che in questo topic sono raccolte tutte le novità provenienti dalla California...

Al primo giorno di apertura del E3 di Los Angeles, il team SMS ci mostra da subito il video promozionale del suo Project CARS, mostrato alla fiera americana. Sempre all'E3, sono apparsi i trailer dell'annuncio del Nordschleife per Forza Motorsport 5 (che può essere scaricato a partire da oggi, gratuitamente, da Xbox LIVE Marketplace) e la video presentazione di Forza Horizon 2.

Il team Reiza Studios ha pubblicato un breve video di anteprima che ci mostra in azione sulla pista di Interlagos la nuova e piccola monoposto Formula Vee, che sarà una delle vetture addon gratuite inserite nell'imminente update v1.20 per Game Stock Car Extreme.

Short preview test showcasing the F-Vee in action in a race around Interlagos - upcoming free DLC for GSC Extreme v1.20. Unfortunately no H Shifter mounted on the simulator at this point! Coming soon!

In anticipo rispetto al solito tardo pomeriggio, la Kunos Simulazioni ha rilasciato tramite Steam un nuovo aggiornamento per il suo Assetto Corsa: la nuova versione 0.15 Early Access è più che altro un upgrade tecnico, con numerosi bugfix ed alcune migliorie, ma soprattutto mette a disposizione della comunità modders il tanto atteso editor.

The new build brings several fixes and finally welcomes the modding community thanks to the inclusion of the Assetto Corsa SDK dedicated to 3rd party productions for tracks. Initially scheduled to be included in Assetto Corsa 1.0, the editor has been released in advance, in order to assist all those modders who are already working to their home-made tracks. The Assetto Corsa SDK is available for download in the Steam Library > Tools \ Tab, and includes a free sample track for training and testing.

We are glad to see so many 3rd party tracks already available for Assetto Corsa. However, we remind that conversions of original content taken from other games is not what we would like to see coming in Assetto Corsa. We hope to see only original content coming to AC from modders. Between you guys we might find our future track modelers, therefore do your best, keep going!

- Editor released and available as a tool for everyone

- acServer bugfixing

- Physics & time-related fixes

- Fixed AI setup loading

- Setup Debug follows the currently focused car
