Verstappen still heart of the project at Red Bull
MAY 11, 2026 Verstappen still heart of the project at Red Bull Max Verstappen remains fully committed to Red Bull despite intensifying speculation about his future, according to team boss Laurent Mekies. Speaking to AFP during the Grand Prix De France Historique at Paul Ricard, Mekies dismissed the growing rumours linking Verstappen with Mercedes, Aston Martin or even a shock exit from Formula 1. Max is at the heart of the project, the Frenchman insisted. He is with us on all subjects. He is involved in all our strategic decisions for the future. He remains with us no matter what happens. Mekies acknowledged Verstappen's frustrations earlier this season, particularly after Red Bull's poor start to the new and highly controversial regulations. Verstappen was just as frustrated as we were by the lack of performance of the car in the first three Grands Prix and by the initial complexity of the 2026 regulations. He made that quite clear, said the Frenchman. But Mekies said the situation is already improving. We just celebrated Max's 10 years at Red Bull Racing. As long as we manage, as the team has done year after year, to give him a fast car, you will see Max smile. The rest is part of the usual noise in Formula 1 and it changes depending on whether it's a good or bad weekend. The Verstappen speculation comes amid growing focus on his expanding GT and endurance racing activities away from Formula 1. This weekend, the Dutchman will make his Nurburgring 24 Hours debut in a Red Bull-branded Mercedes-AMG GT3. That has created an awkward situation for Red Bull's Formula 1 engine partner, Ford. Ford Racing boss Mark Rushbrook admitted the company would rather Verstappen race Ford machinery instead. Obviously, we prefer our Ford drivers to stay with Ford,
Hyundai Teams With LG, Sony and Logitech On High-End <b>Racing Simulator</b>
Hyundai Teams With LG, Sony and Logitech On High-End Racing Simulator Hyundai has partnered with LG Electronics, Sony and Logitech to launch a new high-end racing simulator platform aimed at gamers, motorsport fans and esports competitors. Dubbed the ‘Hyundai N Racing Simulator’, the system recreates the driving experience of Hyundai’s N performance vehicles using Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation 5 hardware. The simulator will be available in two models – a premium ‘Pro’ version and a more affordable ‘Racer’ edition. The Pro setup includes LG’s flagship OLED evo G Series display paired with Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro console, while the Racer model ships with a 65-inch LG OLED TV and standard PS5. Hyundai says the cockpit has been designed to mirror the feel of its real-world N performance cars, using Next Level Racing’s GT Elite Lite chassis combined with Hyundai-branded Avante N Light Sports bucket seats. Logitech G hardware powers the driving controls, including the RS50 racing wheel and RS pedals featuring TRUEFORCE feedback technology designed to simulate road feel and vehicle dynamics in real time. The move highlights growing crossover opportunities between automotive brands, gaming and esports, with Hyundai positioning the simulator as both a marketing tool and a gateway into motorsport culture. The system has already been selected as the official sim racing platform for the Gran Turismo 7 esports qualifier event tied to the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, where esports will feature as an official competition category. Hyundai plans to showcase the simulators at Hyundai N Festival events and Hyundai Motor Studio locations, with limited sales initially offered through its paid ‘The Nthusiast’ membership program. In Korea, pricing starts at around 9 million won (A$10,500) for the Racer version and 13 million won (A$15,000) for the Pro model.

The hypercar is available for free to all players. With the number 17, the virtual GMR-001 Hypercar arrives before its physical counterpart has turned a single competitive wheel on track. The simulated version was made possible through close cooperation between Genesis Magma Racing engineers and game developers who used actual suspension data, aerodynamic balance figures, and gearing information to create a realistic handling model. The V1.3 Update also introduces a Korean language translation to support Genesis as the first South Korean manufacturer in the WEC.

This Week in iRacing | May 12th to May 18th, 2026
This Week in iRacing | May 12th to May 18th, 2026 May 11th, 2026 by Justin Melillo Welcome back to This Week in iRacing, your guide to the daily, even hourly racing that members can get into, based on where their license level is at. There are also some special series that run at specific times that anyone can jump into, with the right credentials, that offer a more meaningful sim racing experience. Here are a few of the highlighted series taking place this week — 2026 Season 2, Week 9 — from May 12th to May 18th in 2026. iRACING SPECIAL EVENTS iRacing’s Special Event calendar features a selection of the world’s most compelling races across numerous disciplines. Whether you’re interested in stock cars or sports cars, open-wheel formula cars or sprint cars, sticking to pavement or playing in the dirt, running solo or racing with a team of your closest friends, our Special Events have something for everyone! iRacing presents the Indianapolis 500 (Open Setup) Known as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” the Indy 500 is one of the most prestigious race events in the world, held since 1911 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is part of the IndyCar Series in the United States. Both race weeks will have unattached qualifying using the 4 lap average during the week leading up to the race, mimicking the real world event. For the fixed setup race, we will be using the same static weather settings that we use for the Indy Oval series. However for the open setup race, we will be using forecasted weather for both qualifying and the race. The weather for qualifying will be static and consistent across all qualifying sessions based on the forecast. However, the weather during the races will now be dynamic based on
Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Try to Keep a Copen Mind
A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday. Gr.3 around Laguna should pull a healthy entry list, but it’s a tight track for racing. The opening sequence into Turn 1 is a classic dive-bomb invitation, and the Corkscrew rewards patience over ambition. Expect to see both abused. Race A keeps things considerably smaller: four laps of the Tokyo Expressway Central Clockwise in the Daihatsu Copen ’02 on Comfort Mediums. With a kei convertible on Tokyo’s long straights, this one is going to be slow. It’ll be a race of momentum and bump drafts more than anything else. Race B moves to Big Willow in Gr.4 for seven laps on Racing Hards. Willow Springs’ International Raceway is fast, flowing, and famously unforgiving. Understeer wide and there’s nothing to hit, but there’s also nothing to slow you down before you’re a long way off the racing line. Overtaking is hard at the best of times here, and a misjudged move can get ugly fast. GT7 Daily Races (May 11): Race A - Track: Tokyo Expressway – Central Clockwise (4 laps) - Car: Daihatsu Copen ’02 — Event-Specified - Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M) - Tires: Comfort Medium - Settings: Specified - Start Type: Rolling Start - Mandatory Pit Stop: – - Fuel Multiplier: 1x - Tire Multiplier: 1x GT7 Daily Races (May 11): Race B - Track: Willow Springs International Raceway – Big Willow (7 laps) - Car: Gr.4 — Garage/Specified Car - Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M) - Tires: Racing Hard - Settings: Partially Allowed — Brake Balance - Start Type: Rolling Start - Mandatory Pit Stop: – - Fuel Multiplier: 1x - Tire Multiplier: 1x GT7 Daily Races (May 11): Race C - Track: WeatherTech Raceway

New team enters <b>race</b> to sign F1 champion Max Verstappen
New team enters race to sign Max Verstappen Change your timezone: New team enters race to sign Max Verstappen Max Verstappen simply loves racing, even outside of F1 A team boss has hinted they are in discussions with four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen about a potential team up. Verstappen has had a rough start to 2026, having only achieved a best result of fifth across four grands prix so far, and his long-term future with Red Bull has been called into question. Verstappen is clearly not a fan of the new regulations that have swept into the sport in 2026, describing the new cars as 'not fun' to drive, and he is said to be 'seriously considering' a retirement from the sport. On the other hand, Verstappen has been enjoying alternative racing series, including sim racing and GT3 racing with his own GT3 team. Next weekend, Verstappen will once again take to the Nurburgring Nordschleife for the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race alongside team-mates Jules Gounon, Dani Juncadella and Lucas Auer. And one team boss has clearly seen quite how much the Dutchman has been enjoying racing outside of F1, dropping a hint that he wants Verstappen to join his World Endurance Championship (WEC) project. Ford chief makes a move for Max Verstappen Ford are making their hypercar debut in the WEC next year, and Ford Racing chief Mark Rushbrook has said he would love to have Verstappen racing in at least one event for the team. Ford have a good relationship with Red Bull's F1 team, with the brands having entered a power unit partnership at the start of this year. "We love Max," Rushbrook told Motorsport.com. "We love what he does in the Formula 1 car, on the track. "We love him off the track. He's a great
Best <b>Racing</b> Wheels - Forza Horizon 6 Wiki
Forza Horizon 6 is designed around fast cars, drifting, and long open-road drives, but a good racing wheel can completely change how the game feels. From affordable starter wheels to high-end direct drive setups with professional-grade force feedback, there are options for every type of player and budget. Best Entry-Level Wheel - Moza R3 Bundle - Best for: Players upgrading from a controller - Platforms: Xbox / PC - Price: $299.00 The Moza R3 Bundle is one of the best entry-level racing wheel setups for Forza Horizon 6 because it delivers a true direct drive experience at a much lower price than most competing sim racing hardware. Its 3.9Nm direct drive motor provides smoother and more precise steering feedback than traditional gear-driven wheels, making drifting and off-road driving feel far more natural. The bundle includes both the wheelbase and pedals out of the box, making it an easy starting point for players getting into racing wheels for the first time. Moza also offers a strong lineup of upgrade options for players who want a more realistic setup later on, including the HGP H-pattern shifter, SGP sequential shifter, and HBP handbrake for drifting and rally driving. As an honorable mention, the Logitech G920 (Xbox/PC) and G923 (PlayStation/PC) remain some of the most popular racing wheels for Forza players thanks to their lower price and wide availability. While they use older gear-driven force feedback instead of direct drive technology, they regularly go on sale for under $250 and remain one of the easiest entry points for players who want a wheel without committing to a more expensive ecosystem. Best Mid-Range Wheel - Logitech RS50 Bundle - Best for: Players wanting stronger force feedback without going fully enthusiast - Platforms: Xbox / PlayStation / PC - Price: $699.99 The Logitech RS50 Bundle hits
Hyundai Launches 'N <b>Racing Simulator</b>' for Virtual High-Performance Driving
Hyundai Motor (005380.KS) said Tuesday it has launched the "Hyundai N Racing Simulator," a product that recreates the driving experience of its high-performance N brand in a virtual environment. Hyundai Motor developed the simulator through collaboration with global partners including LG Electronics, Sony, Logitech, and Next Level Racing. Based on the PlayStation game "Gran Turismo 7," the simulator implements the N brand's distinctive high-performance driving feel through a sophisticated physics engine grounded in real vehicle data, the company said. The Hyundai N Racing Simulator comes in two versions depending on specifications: Pro and Racer. The Pro is a high-performance model equipped with the LG OLED Pro, which features an LG Electronics premium G-series panel, along with a PlayStation 5 Pro. The Racer is a standard model that includes an LG OLED 65-inch TV and a PlayStation 5. The cockpit applies an exclusive Hyundai N design to Next Level Racing's GT Elite Lite product. The seat is an Avante N Light Sport bucket seat, replicating a driving environment similar to sitting in an actual N vehicle. The steering wheel and pedals use Logitech G's "RS50 System Racing Wheel," which features TrueForce feedback technology and direct drive with up to 8 Nm of torque, along with "RS Pedals" that enable precise braking, delivering the same handling sensation as an actual racing car. The Hyundai N Racing Simulator was used as the official sim racing equipment for the national team qualifiers of "Gran Turismo 7," which has been selected as an official esports event for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
