Julia Angelard: The Polish Karter Chasing an F1 Dream

Nineteen thousandths of a second. That is the margin by which Julia Angelard won at Poznań, in the second round of the 2026 Polish Karting Championship, setting the fastest lap of the weekend on the very last lap of the last race, tyres already worn. It was enough to make her the first woman to win that event in fifteen years. There is one detail about her life, though, that not even those who follow her closely know: she has a twin brother. At 14, Polish-born and now based in Italy, Julia Angelard races in OK Junior and juggles seven different programmes in parallel, among them the Polish Championship, the FIA Karting European Championship, the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy, More Than Equal and the newly announced F1 Academy Discover Your Drive selection. She joined Giovanni Minardi‘s stable in 2024, and he now oversees her path toward the jump to single-seaters. In the first seven months of 2026 alone she logged 107 days on track and 62 flights, without ever missing school: this year she graduated with distinction. A kart with RK stickers Julia doesn’t really remember that first day on a kart, at four years old. “I would like to answer with something interesting, but I was four years old and I simply don’t remember,” she admits, with disarming honesty. What she does know, because she’s been told, is that whenever her older brother Maks was at the track, the whole family went along: her, her other brother Aleks, and their parents. One day she and Aleks got the chance to sit in a small kart and try driving it for the first time. They both liked it, so their parents bought the family’s first kart, one with RK-branded stickers that Julia still remembers well. Then the two brothers’

5 Tech And <b>Racing</b> Ventures Pushing The Norris Name Beyond F1

There’s a version of Lando Norris most people know from race weekends – helmet on, radio crackling and occasionally swearing when a strategy call goes wrong. But the Norris name goes way further than the F1 paddock, with the family involved in racing, gaming, simulation and electric mobility. On 2 September 2026, Norris announced his own junior racing team, LN4 Fusion, near Monza during Italian Grand Prix week, with both Sky Sports and Formula1.com reporting on the launch. It adds another project to a family that has spent years working across different corners of technology and motorsport. Why The Norris Name Keeps Showing Up In Tech Motorsport has become closely tied to technology, especially through simulation, data, gaming and digital media. Norris himself grew up racing on simulators before making it into a real F1 car, while gaming and streaming helped him build an audience outside the typical motorsport fans. His family have their own connections to the tech industry with his brother Oliver running a professional sim-racing company, while his father Adam founded an electric scooter business that he still runs today. Lando’s F1 career may have brought the surname to millions of people, but the businesses around it have developed in their own light. 1. LN4 Fusion LN4 Fusion is the newest addition to the Norris family’s racing ventures, with Lando launching the team during Italian Grand Prix week on 2 September. Sky Sports reported that the team has acquired selected assets from AIX Racing and will compete in Formula 3 from 2027, alongside entries in Italian F4 and Formula Regional. The team has also begun the application process for Formula 2, giving it a route through different levels of junior single-seater racing. The project isn’t just about putting cars on a grid: the LN4 Legacy Programme designed

Verstappen rejects Norris' approach with his own <b>racing</b> project

Max Verstappen does not plan to follow Lando Norris's example by entering the junior single-seater ladder with his own racing project. The Dutchman does see great value in the McLaren driver's new initiative, especially because ever-rising costs are making it increasingly difficult for young talents to break through. Verstappen taps his microphone a few times at the start of the media session, with dozens of journalists, both seated and standing, ready to hear what the Red Bull Racing driver has to say in Monza. Initially, nothing comes through the speakers, prompting Verstappen to wonder aloud whether the device is working. "Oh, I think I just turned it on myself," he concludes as his voice finally booms through the packed room. Verstappen doesn't want to follow Norris into F2 and F3 While Norris is focusing his new projectprimarily on the formula categories, that's not the direction Verstappen ultimately wants to take with his own team. Asked by GPblog whether he would ever want to enter formula categories like F4, F3, or F2 with his own project, his answer is clear - along with the reason behind it. "No, not really, not from my side. I enjoy the endurance side of things and combining endurance and Formula cars is very hectic. I enjoy more to be on the other side, working with established drivers, but also young guys that are finding that it is a crazy world," Verstappen explained. Verstappen sees a problem for young talents That doesn't mean Verstappen isn't involved with drivers from the junior ranks at all. The four-time world champion says his current program already works with drivers at various levels below Formula 1. "We're anyway training a lot of Formula 2, F3, F4, FRECA drivers. So I'm very happy with what I'm doing," he adds. The financial

Logitech G PLAY 2026: New <b>Sim Racing</b> Hardware Reveals Confirmed

Logitech G has confirmed that new sim racing products will be revealed during Logitech G PLAY 2026 on September 23, making the company’s annual showcase one of the key hardware events to watch this month. The global presentation will begin at 18:00 CEST on September 23 and will be streamed through Logitech G’s official YouTube channel. Logitech has explicitly confirmed product reveals across PC gaming, console, esports and sim racing, although it has not yet identified which racing products will be announced. That distinction is important. New sim racing hardware is officially confirmed for the event, but Logitech has not announced a new wheelbase, steering wheel, pedal set or accessory ahead of the presentation. Logitech G PLAY 2026 takes place on September 23 Logitech G PLAY returns for its fifth edition with events taking place across Los Angeles, Warsaw and Shanghai. The main global broadcast begins on September 23, while Logitech will also offer hands-on access to its latest hardware during the Los Angeles event in Venice Beach. According to Logitech, the presentation will include new hardware alongside updates covering G HUB, streaming, community projects and esports. For sim racers, however, the key confirmation is straightforward: new racing products form part of the reveal schedule. Logitech has not provided a separate sim racing presentation time, so the new hardware is expected to appear as part of the wider Logitech G PLAY keynote. The current Logitech racing ecosystem already covers a wide range of price points. The newer R Series is built around the RS50 PC wheelbase, PlayStation-compatible RS50 and complete RS50 System, while the PRO Racing ecosystem remains the higher-end 11 Nm option. What could Logitech announce for sim racing? For now, Logitech is deliberately keeping the individual products secret. There is therefore no basis to state that a new

Corsair completes Fanatec buyout after Endor insolvency, vows supply-chain fix

Corsair completes Fanatec buyout after Endor insolvency, vows supply-chain fix ● a day ago What's the deal? Corsair has completed its acquisition of Fanatec, the sim racing hardware specialist owned by Germany's Endor AG. The deal absorbs Fanatec's debts, manufacturing problems, and a backlog of frustrated customers into Corsair's much larger PC hardware business. Why now? Corsair announced its plan to buy Endor earlier this year, but the acquisition looked shaky after Endor filed for insolvency in July. It went ahead regardless, and Fanatec is now part of Corsair. What's the endgame? Corsair wants to fix Fanatec's operations rather than run them as before. Chief executive officer Andy Paul told The Drive that fixing everything was already underway, though he conceded: "It's certainly not going to be business as usual because business at the moment is not as we'd like it." Two priorities stand out. Corsair says it will take a few months to build a global 24/7 support operation, replacing a service line that ran only eight hours per working day. It also wants to overhaul manufacturing, after Fanatec took months to fulfil some orders. What could go wrong? The delays are puzzling given Paul's own comment that "the factories in China are not full, not busy, so costs are actually in pretty good shape." The likely culprit was weak infrastructure and selling products that were not in stock. Corsair also plans to move Fanatec into retail. Fanatec previously sold only direct-to-consumer, while Corsair's hardware sits on shop shelves and major online stores. Paul said only lower-priced items would go through retail: "For the high-end gear, the sort of $1,000 wheel and pedals, I think that's going to either stay direct-to-consumer or [get sold via] very, very specialized retailers." The signal: Logitech dominates the mainstream racing wheel market, so

We Talk Cars and More with the New Hosts of 'The Grand Tour' Reboot

It's a good time for car TV—or at least there's the potential for it to be a good time. After a bit of a lull over the past couple of years, Amazon Prime announced a new season of The Grand Tour with new hosts taking the roles formerly held by the famed Top Gear trio of Richard Hammond, James May, and Jeremy Clarkson. While we're on the topic, Top Gear is coming back too, with new hosts of its own. While the Top Gear hosts have yet to be announced, The Grand Tour not only has its hosts, but it has a whole season shot and ready to air on Prime Video starting Friday, September 4, 2026. Starring in those episodes will be James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, who run the popular Throttle House YouTube channel. Also added to the mix is Francis Bourgeois, best known for his train-enthusiast social media posts. The Grand Tour press junket kicked off this week in London, but we managed to squeeze in a super-quick interview with the enthusiastic trio. We got seven minutes, and the handlers were counting, so if you want to know more, you'll have to watch the first episode. The guys go to the Salton Sea in some American muscle and then race jets, if that appeals. For Sale Near You See all results for used cars for sale near 95035 C/D: Warm up question!

Max Verstappen Jokes About 'Shunting' Rivals Ahead of 100-Person Kart <b>Race</b>

Max Verstappen has a big problem at Silverstone soon: before he can win the Max vs 100 karting event, he has to get past 100 other drivers. During a livestream, the four-time Formula 1 world champion joked that he had already checked whether the rules allowed a more forceful solution. “I actually asked Red Bull because there’s like 100 guys [against me], am I allowed to shunt them or not? And they’re like, ‘No, ideally not.’” That is Verstappen being Verstappen. And while he’s joking, he may be wondering whether this could be his way through. Max Verstappen on karting against 100 people: “I actually asked Red Bull because there’s like 100 guys [against me], am I allowed to shunt them or not? And they’re like, ‘No, ideally not.’” by u/anthn885 in formula1 Why Max vs 100 Is So Difficult Red Bull and Disney describe Max vs 100 as a traffic-management exercise disguised as a race. Verstappen is expected to begin from the back, effectively 101st, with the entire 100-driver field ahead of him. All 101 karts are planned to run at once on September 16 at the legendary Silverstone track. This will not use Silverstone’s regular Formula 1 circuit. Red Bull says David Terrien designed a dedicated layout for the event. Terrien, a French racing driver, kart designer, and former youth karting world champion, also serves as race director, with the unusual circuit intended to make room for the enormous grid. The key to success lies not in executing a flawless pass but in navigating through a rough and unpredictable group of competitors. Verstappen will need to judge gaps, avoid losing momentum, and decide when a pass is worth the risk. Sebastian Job, a professional sim racer for Oracle Red Bull Racing, concluded: “I think to overtake 100 cars

Why Yuki Tsunoda feels 'like a rookie' ahead of his second <b>Racing</b> Bulls outing of the ...

Why Tsunoda feels ‘like a rookie’ ahead of his second Racing Bulls outing of the season Yuki Tsunoda explains what will leave him facing another steep learning curve on his second super-sub outing for Racing Bulls at Monza. When Yuki Tsunoda was told he would be driving for Racing Bulls at the Dutch Grand Prix, he was on holiday on a beach in Greece and had to rush to prepare for the outing at Zandvoort. He felt so unprepared that he approached the weekend like a rookie. By the time the Italian Grand Prix came around, Tsunoda had already been working in the simulator in case Isack Hadjar remained sidelined. Despite having a race weekend in the car under his belt and more time to prepare, he still feels like a rookie given the complexity of energy deployment at Monza. “It was actually yesterday,” Tsunoda said on Thursday when asked when he had learned the news. “I was in the sim just in case. I really didn't know until mid-afternoon, and I heard in the middle of the session. ‘OK, I’m going to drive, so I’ll keep doing the simulator work as I would in a race week.’” Zandvoort went about as well as could have been expected, given Tsunoda’s unfamiliarity with the car and the demands of a Sprint weekend. After finishing a solid P11, he received positive feedback from Team Principal Alan Permane. “[It was] positive for sure,” the Japanese racer confirmed. “And even after the debrief, I said, ‘Good luck this season, I enjoyed it,’ or something. Alan said, ‘We might need you again – we might need you again next week. So be prepared.’ “I could tell that I felt some more trust from him after that race. If I did really bad, and anything can

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: GTAm I Right?

A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges lands this Friday, September 4, once your console clock rolls past midnight. The usual deal applies, with five events, seven days to get through them, and a stack of bonus reward tickets for those who do. For the uninitiated, Weekly Challenges open up after you’ve completed the GT Cafe career to Menu Book 39 and watched the ending movie, giving players who’ve finished the main game something to come back for. Each week pairs four races drawn from the World Circuits roster with a fifth “Special” event built just for that set, and finishing on the podium in one, three, and five of them drops bonus tickets into your Gifts. Between race prizes, clean race bonuses, and the tickets, a full sweep is worth somewhere around 1.3m credits in cash and prizes. This Week’s Highlights The Special Event goes back to the Time Trial format this week, and it’s an Italian affair. You’ll be running the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm ’20 around the reverse layout of Trial Mountain Circuit, chasing a bronze target of 1:03.000. Gold is worth 30,000cr, with silver and bronze paying 18,000cr and 12,000cr respectively. The big money is at the other end of the list. The Gr.1 Prototype Series at Yas Marina Circuit is a 15-lap race for anything up to 950PP on racing tires, and it carries the week’s headline 300,000cr win reward. It’s also the only event in the set with fuel and tire wear turned up, at 3x and 5x respectively, so plan on visiting the pits at some point. In between, Suzuka hosts the World Touring Car 600 over four laps with a hard 600PP ceiling and 95,000cr on offer, the second-largest prize of the week. Deep Forest Raceway’s reverse layout hosts a

Best <b>Sim Racing</b> Hardware to Buy in September 2026

September is a much more useful month for sim racing hardware buyers than August was. Gamescom is over, several previously teased products have now been shown, new hardware is approaching release and some of the summer discounts have either changed or disappeared. That makes the buying decision clearer in some areas and more complicated in others. Fanatec still has aggressive Ready2Race pricing, MOZA has strengthened its entry and mid-range Direct Drive line-up, Asetek has finally confirmed its shifter and handbrake launch, and Sim-Lab’s DDS TorqueSync is moving towards its first customer deliveries. The Direct Drive market has also become considerably more crowded during 2026. If you want a broader overview before choosing an ecosystem, our guide to the new Direct Drive wheelbases of 2026 covers the main recent additions. This September 2026 guide focuses on what makes sense to buy at current prices, what has changed since August and which purchases may still be worth delaying until October. The calendar: what matters next | Date | What happens | Buying implication | |---|---|---| | September | MOZA R16 Ultra deliveries and current hardware roll-out | Relevant if considering a 15-18 Nm-class PC base | | September | SIMAGIC current bundles and direct-store offers | Compare complete packages before buying components separately | | 6 October | Asetek Dual Mode Shifter and Load Cell Handbrake launch | Worth waiting if either accessory is on your shortlist | | 16-18 October | SimRacing Expo Frankfurt | Another major late-2026 hardware announcement window | | End of October | Current new Sim-Lab DDS TorqueSync orders begin shipping | Factor the lead time into premium wheelbase comparisons | Fanatec: Ready2Race bundles remain the strongest deals Fanatec’s September pricing is different from the broad summer campaigns seen earlier in the year.

Crypto Casino Sponsorship Money Has Quietly Reshaped the Formula 1 Grid Since 2024

Load up the current F1 game, roll out of the garage in the black and green Sauber, and you are steering a sponsorship contract at 300 kph. The livery rendered on your triple screens is not a designer’s whim. It is a deal, and since 2024 that deal has read differently than almost anything the grid carried before. Sim racers stare at liveries longer than anyone. We repaint them, we argue about which shade the game got wrong, we notice when a sponsor decal moves two centimetres between title updates. So it is worth asking what actually changed on the cars we drive virtually, because the money behind one of them came from a corner of the internet most paddock reporters still struggle to explain. That corner is the crypto casino. The same category of operator that put its name on a Formula 1 car also runs sites like Shuffle, whose crypto casino pages list the slots, live tables, and baccarat rooms it settles in coins and stablecoins rather than pounds or euros. Reading what that business actually is makes the grid you race in the game far easier to understand. The livery you repaint is a balance sheet Every panel on a modern F1 car is sold. That is old news to anyone who has spent an evening in a paint editor matching Pantone values. What is new is who signed the biggest cheque at Hinwil. For 2024 and 2025 Sauber ran as the Stake F1 Team, a two-year title partnership with a crypto casino and betting brand, taking over the naming slot that Alfa Romeo had held. The team history, including the switch, is documented in plain terms on the Sauber Motorsport record. The claim that this “quietly reshaped the grid” is worth treating as a claim rather

Gran Turismo 7's new 'Spec IV' update heralds return of the Autumn Ring and 12 new cars

Autumn Ring and Sugo coming in GT 7’s Spec IV Update 12 new cars arriving across two builds: one in October, one in December New Family Mode, Shuffle Mode and Online Drift Trials also teased It’s enough to bring a tear to the eye of Gran Turismo players of a certain age. As revealed during Sony’s State of Play presentation today (3rd September, 2026), the legendary Autumn Ring is set to return to the series in Gran Turismo 7, with Polyphony Digital set to release a huge Spec IV update later this year. Intriguingly, it will be released in two parts: the first in October and the second in December. Two tracks were unveiled for the update, with the real-world Sugo circuit also set to make an appearance, with 12 new cars and new game modes also on the way. Check out everything we know about GT 7’s Spec IV update below. Appearing in the very first GT back in 1997 (1998 outside of Japan), Autumn Ring hasn’t been seen in a mainline GT game since GT 6, but that’s set to change very soon. However, while the track will largely follow the original layout, it will be expanded and slightly updated for GT 7, perhaps along similar lines to how Grand Valley Speedway was implemented in 2023, featuring two configurations. Sugo Sportsland Sugo is set to make its debut in the GT series, with the 2.3-mile-long track regularly hosting real-world Super GT and Super Formula races. Like Autumn Ring, Sugo is filled with cambered corners and unforgiving run-off areas, making it something of an outlier in modern motorsport terms. Opened in 1975, the track is famous for its final corner bridge (adorned with Dunlop signage for GT 7), and despite its length, the entire Sugo complex represents Japan’s largest

NASCAR 26's latest Dev Diary outlines paint booth and drafting improvements

NASCAR 26 will have an improved paint booth, featuring more shapes and mirror option Side-drafting implemented, with better smoke particle effects Pit stops said to have improved, and track cut penalties relaxed NASCAR 26’s latest Developer Diary episode has revealed more changes fans can expect to see in iRacing Studios’ second stab at creating an authentic stock car video game experience. Thus far, the list of improvements over NASCAR 25 has been fairly minor, with dynamic track rubbering arguably the biggest gameplay-affecting addition. Paint booth updates Developer Diary 3 was more of the same, with Producer Matt Lewis revealing players will now be able to mirror paint designs in the new game. I think we can categorise that under ‘things that should’ve been patched into NASCAR 25’… However, players are no longer limited to just seven shapes per paint job section, with the cap raised to 50, which should encourage a little more creativity with custom liveries (although it still feels rather stingy). Side-drafting was also confirmed, which should make super-speedway racing more realistic, with a new particle system making tyre smoke generation visibly more voluminous. So, the game’s post-race Victory Lane burnouts should look much better. Nice. Dynamic lighting was also showcased, making this year’s game look sharper than ‘25, although some Unreal Engine 5 foibles still remain, most notably wall shadow pop-in (especially at Lime Rock Park). However, car interiors have been overhauled and now look much more detailed and authentic. Pit stops Although pit stop timings are said to have been improved greatly over ‘25, the video evidence seems to suggest there is a delay between stopping in your pit box and your crew changing tyres, with the whole operation still seemingly a glorified cutscene.

Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV: SUGO, Autumn Ring, 12 Cars and New Modes

Polyphony Digital has officially announced Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV, a major free update arriving in two parts in October and December 2026 with two circuits, 12 new cars and several new ways to race. Revealed during PlayStation’s September State of Play, Spec IV will kick off Gran Turismo’s celebrations ahead of the series’ 30th anniversary in 2027. Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi says the amount of content planned is large enough that the update has been split into two separate releases. The first part arrives in October 2026, followed by the second in December. More details, including the identity of the 12 cars, will be revealed during the Gran Turismo World Series event in Singapore on October 3. Sportsland SUGO arrives in October The first confirmed circuit is Sportsland SUGO, the Japanese motorsport venue that has frequently appeared on Gran Turismo community wish lists but has never previously been available in the series. SUGO will arrive with the October portion of Spec IV. Located in Miyagi Prefecture, the circuit is known for its elevation changes, flowing sequence of corners and distinctive Dunlop bridge. Its inclusion gives Gran Turismo 7 another modern Japanese racing venue and confirms one of the circuits that had been widely discussed by the community ahead of the State of Play. Other rumoured tracks, including Twin Ring Motegi, have not been announced as part of Spec IV at this stage. Autumn Ring finally returns to Gran Turismo The December update will bring back Autumn Ring, one of Gran Turismo’s original fictional circuits. Autumn Ring first appeared in the original Gran Turismo and became a recurring part of the series before disappearing from more recent entries. Its return to Gran Turismo 7 continues Polyphony’s gradual revival of classic fictional locations alongside tracks such as Trial Mountain, Deep

Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV Update Announced, Out in Two Parts in October and December

Polyphony Digital has announced a major two-part update for Gran Turismo 7. Dubbed Spec IV, the update will follow up on the changes made to the racing sim with Spec III last year. Part one of the Spec IV update will come to Gran Turismo 7 in October, with the second part coming out in December. Check out the announcement trailer below. A major addition to the list of tracks in Gran Turismo 7 with Spec IV will be Japan’s SUGO Circuit, which offers plenty of challenges thanks to its elevation changes. Long-time Gran Turismo fans will also be happy to see the arrival of the beloved Autumn Ring track with its original layout. An expanded version of Autumn Ring with a larger-scale racing circuit is also coming. When it comes to cars, Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV will get 12 cars released across the two separate updates. More features will also be coming to the update, including Online Drift Trials and Shuffle races. Details about these, however, will be revealed at a later time. Finally, the studio is also working on what it refers to as “one of the main highlights” of the Spec IV update – Family Mode. This new mode will feature family-friendly gameplay mechanics that allow even younger children to play and enjoy the racing sim. It will also include features that veterans of the franchise can enjoy. More details about Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV will be revealed during the Gran Turismo World Series event on October 3rd. The studio has also hinted at bigger plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gran Turismo franchise next year.
