OTR 2 brings axel-grinding offroad <b>racing</b> action to iOS and Android next month

OTR 2 brings axel-grinding offroad racing action to iOS and Android next month - OTR 2 brings the sequel to the hit off-road racer to mobile next month - It features a massive new open world, not to mention air and seaborne vehicles - Jump behind the wheel with friends in a visually dazzling new racing sim Now I'm not a driver, partially due to the expense of running a car nowadays, partially due to the non-zero chance of having a seizure while behind the wheel. But I'm fairly certain we can all agree that there's a thrilling kind of fun about driving off-road! The axel-smashing, engine destroying, body-denting action is something a rare few of us get to enjoy in our daily lives or work. But now you can live out that dream in Off the Road 2 as the hit off-road racing sim brings its bigger, better and even more brutal sequel to mobile next month. Off the Road 2 offers you an entire open world to explore, behind the wheel of all manner of off-road vehicles. You've got your familiar ground-based 4x4s, but OTR 2 also lets you take to the sea in speedboats or the skies in fighter jets! Anything, it would seem, goes on the road. Pedal to the metal For fans of the original OTR, the sequel has everything they enjoyed from the original, and more. Expect realistic day/night cycles and weather simulations, a huge open world to explore and multiplayer to bring your friends into the chaos.Add onto that some truly gorgeous visuals being promised, and I think it's safe to say that if you're a vehicle enthusiastic then OTR 2 is definitely something to put on your 'to-do' list this coming May!

Video Game Throwback: Growing Up Gran Turismo Part 5

Video Game Throwback: Growing Up Gran Turismo Part 5 - GT PSP After the release of Gran Turismo 4, there was a bit of a lull in the Polyphony Digital sim-racing universe. The fourth instalment of the franchise was released in 2004, and there wouldn’t be another proper game until 2010. During this time period, two stopgap games did appear. The first was Gran Turismo 5: Prologue in 2007, which was nothing more than a glorified demo, intended to hold fans over until the full game was available (which would take another three years). The other was Gran Turismo for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld gaming system. It Has the Meat Probably the most forgotten member of the Gran Turismo family, it was released in the fall of 2009. Surprisingly, this handheld game had over 800 cars stuffed onto its mini-disc. Many of the cars were nothing more than variations on a theme, and once again the game was overcrowded with Skylines, S2000s, Silvias, and Civics. Still, the sheer number of manufacturers and cars was impressive. Surprisingly, for a handheld spin-off, new manufacturers were introduced with this title. Gran Turismo for the PSP was the very first time Ferrari, Bugatti, and Lamborghini could be driven in the world of Gran Turismo. The game even had a free DLC pack with several cars players could immediately use once downloaded. Acquiring the rest of the cars wasn’t so easy, especially if there was a specific vehicle a player was looking for. There was no manufacturer screen to buy cars. The only way to buy cars was through the dealership that offered random groupings of manufacturers with a selection of cars for sale. Every two days in-game (basically two races or two challenges), the dealership would have new cars available to purchase. And

Max Verstappen riles fans after Nurburgring pitlane antics: 'Pure performative cringe'

Max Verstappen riles fans after Nurburgring pitlane antics: 'Pure performative cringe' Change your timezone: Max Verstappen riles fans after Nurburgring pitlane antics: 'Pure performative cringe' One of Max Verstappen's manoeuvres caught some flack online F1 champion Max Verstappen's racing antics at the Nurburgring drew the ire of a fan on social media during the NLS5 round on Sunday (April 19). The Dutchman's Nurburgring 24h preparations ramped up this weekend, contesting the NLS4 and NLS5 rounds with Lucas Auer and his Verstappen Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 team. However, the NLS4 race was cancelled following the tragic accident that saw 66-year-old Juha Miettinen lose his life in a seven-car crash. Qualifying and the NLS5 race went ahead as scheduled on the Sunday, with a minute-long silence held in memory of Miettinen who had raced countless laps around the Nurburgring during his racing career. F1 SCHEDULE: Every race date for 2026 plus TV details Verstappen in the NLS5 race Verstappen started the NLS5 race from fifth on the grid, but quickly made his way up the field where he duelled with race leader Christopher Haase, before taking the lead. An early pit stop allowed Verstappen to build a lead of over twenty seconds but after 38 minutes into his second stint, the Dutch driver had to return to the pits, where the Mercedes-AMG was pushed into the garage due to damage to the splitter, dashing any hopes of victory. Team-mate Auer eventually made it back into the race around 30 minutes after Verstappen pitted, but at this point any hopes of a race win were non-existent. Prior to exiting the car, Verstappen decided to pull off an overtake as he entered the pit lane, which didn't go down with one fan on social media. They wrote: "Max may turn out to be the GOAT
