Il portale di Gamespot ha provato in anteprima il prossimo pacchetto extra "Ferrari" che sarà rilasciato domani per la versione XBox di Need for Speed Shift: correte a questa pagina per leggere la preview ricca di video.

EA isn't afraid to shake up its long-running Need for Speed series. After 2008's by-the-numbers sequel Need for Speed Undercover, the publisher followed with the pure arcade racer Need for Speed Nitro and the simulation-focused Need for Speed Shift. For the latter game, EA and developer Slightly Mad put drivers in the seat of some of the world's most challenging, high-performance cars and let them race it out on a variety of real-world, as well as fictional, tracks...

Potete leggere direttamente sul sito ufficiale del prossimo Real Time Racing dei Simbin una interessante intervista fatta a Xavier Maassen, pilota reale che corre nel campionato FIA GT con una Corvette C6R.

One of the cars you tried was a virtual replica of your Corvette that you drove the last year in the FIA GT and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. How was your experience with that car?
I was really impressed with the accurate graphical quality of the cockpit. A great job done there! The sense of speed in the virtual car is more or less equal to what I experience on the track in real life. It really gives you the sensation that you are actually racing a real car. Also my compliments to the builders of the track as the reproduction of Circuit Zolder is amazing.

Se siete fra i tantissimi appassionati che attendono con ansia il nuovo Gran Turismo 5 della Polyphony, correte a questa pagina di Nextgame.it, per leggere un interessante articolo di approfondimento dedicato al titolone targato Sony.

Quando il cielo sopra Trial Mountain è terso e il differenziale di una Mitsubishi FTO griffata Castrol urla di piacere, può voler dire solo una cosa: che quello è un giorno perfetto. La salita verso il primo sottopassaggio curva a sinistra, è sinuosa e rapidissima, da pelo sullo stomaco e assetto wipEout, pena una triste carambola verso il fallimento precoce addosso al bitorzoluto muraglione di contorno. Trial Mountain, in fondo, è una questione di curve irregolari e fredda roccia sul ciglio della carreggiata, d'assoluta precisione e massima fluidità, roba da Manuel Fangio o "mio cuggino"...

Ancora un video di anteprima per l'atteso Gran Turismo 5 by Polyphony, ed ancora una volta possiamo ammirare il mitico tracciato del Nurbrugring Nordschleife, in un giro completo.

Mentre il famosissimo pilota reale Dale Earnhardt Jr ha vinto la prima gara a Daytona del campionato online Nascar di iRacing, il "novellino" Wyatt Gooden, proprio grazie al doppio trionfo ottenuto nel torneo online della VW Jetta TDi Cup del simulatore made in Kaemmer, si è aggiudicato un posto da pilota titolare (vero) per correre nella 2010 SCCA Pro Racing VW Jetta TDI Cup americana!

Two-time iRacing VW Jetta TDI Cup champion Wyatt Gooden has been selected to compete in the 2010 SCCA Pro Racing VW Jetta TDI Cup. As the winner of the 2009 iRacing VW Jetta TDI Cup, Gooden will receive a full-funded ride in the ten race series which pits Americans aged 16-26 against one another in identically-prepared VW Jetta TDIs on road courses throughout North America.

The final selection process brought more than thirty candidates to Las Vegas last week for on-track competition and media training. The first day’s action saw Gooden among the fastest of the candidates in the go-kart competition. The following day he was named as one of 25 drivers for the series after a session of lapping the VW Jetta TDIs at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, about 80 miles outside of Las Vegas. Gooden reported that his iRacing experience prepared him well for the selection process and noted the virtual Jetta’s dynamics are “right on” compared to those of its real world counterpart. Gooden, who hails from Gates Mills, Ohio, will make his professional racing debut at Virginia International Raceway where Rounds One and Two of the 2010 VW Jetta TDI Cup are scheduled for April 23-25, 2010.
