Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds review - A worthy alternative to Mario Kart World

After a six-year hiatus, Sega’s new Sonic Racing game is a solid return to form that holds its own against Mario Kart World.

Just purchased the Ferrari I needed to complete (until the next update) Gran Turismo 7.

All cars owned, all golds, first in all the events. Job done.

In images such as these, the Ferrari F80 can look gawky - slab sides and a sunglasses-adorned face.

But in person, it's miraculously cohesive and imposing.

Well, now, this is an interesting development!

It's late, but here's the story of a cancelled official Formula 1 simulation by the Assetto Corsa team. traxion.gg/how-assetto-...

How Assetto Corsa’s creators nearly made an official F1 simulation

Back in 2019, Kunos Simulazioni could have made an official Formula 1 simulation game, but chose to focus on continued Assetto Corsa Competizione development instead.

This house near me loves the fourth-generation Subaru Legacy so much, the occupants own three.

This one has seen better days, and in many ways a Fiat Panda 100HP is terrible (fuel economy, turning circle and ride quality etc)

But there isn't a day that goes by where I don't miss owning one.

If you happen to be in the market for a new premium car, this Alfa Romeo is dated in many respects.

But it has CarPlay/Android Auto, is RWD and just look at it...

Do it!

Small, economical, funky interior, and a boot floor that melts your frozen food - can't help but think the Smart would be ideal in 2025.

But a combination of tastes and regulations means, sadly, Smart now makes giant SUVs with a 100kWh battery and a cringe 'hashtag' name.

Shifty shows, in a new and imaginative way, how over the past 40 years in Britain extreme money and hyper-individualism came together in an unspoken alliance

Thank you very much, and sorry for the slow response.

We can't get everything right, and often upset fans of specific games, but we're really trying hard to deliver considered content. And that often doesn't bring in the views/clicks.

Still, we're still here pushing!

Paris has changed - it's full of Disney movie adverts, Toyota hybrids and Heineken.

But, there's still some classic French, dented, shitboxes around if you look hard enough.

38% of Digital Bros' revenue was from Assetto Corsa games in the last nine months, ending 31st March.

The only game the parent company released in that period was EVO.

No pressure, then... traxion.gg/assetto-cors...

Assetto Corsa franchise revenue jumped 34% following EVO release

Naturally, releasing a new game, even in early access, sees revenues increase.

Ostentatious, vulgar and virtue signalling.

But there's something about the electric Rolls-Royce Spectre in-person that oddly appeals. Best looking Roller in yonks.

Perhaps we should water-down our YouTube videos or turn to AI?

Then again, maybe not. A topic close to the heart of the Traxion team, and I think you can tell.

Recent job losses and the WRC game cancellation mean there’s no longer a rally team at EA and Codemasters

Here, we look into the rally game history through Colin McRae and Dirt, and how it all came to a close.
