TOYOTA Motor Philippines (TMP) is thrilled to announce the top 10 Sporting Class players and top 10 Junior Class players who will be competing in the upcoming National Finals of the 2026 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines Esports GT Championship.
This season, more than 400 sim racers across the country participated in the qualifiers, where players put in their fastest lap time around the Laguna Seca racetrack using the stock Toyota GR 86.
The TGR Philippines Esports GT Championship is the country’s premier sim racing tournament, which aims to provide aspiring racers with an avenue to kick-start their racing careers, as well as gather sim racing enthusiasts together to celebrate the thrill and joy of motorsports.
Since it was launched in 2020, the TGR Philippines Esports GT Championship (formerly known as the GR GT Cup) has been pioneering competitive sim racing in the country, offering attractive prizes and the opportunity to face against other sim racers in Asia and the world.
As a grassroots tournament, the series also bridges the gap between sim racing and real-life racing by transitioning winners of the competition to TMP’s premier racing series, the TGR Philippine Cup (formerly known as the Vios Cup).

Even though Logitech has a history with sim racing hardware dating back to 2020, the hardware has advanced quite a bit since then.
This new line includes the RS50 wheel system, the RS Pedals SE, and the G923 all-in-one.
Heading over to the RS Pedals SE means looking at Logitech’s efforts to simulate the actual feel of driving again.
Now, because Logitech is the official gaming peripherals partner for McLaren Racing, they have also announced an entire collection themed after the car brand.
The RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle comes with a Direct Drive Wheel, 75Kg Load Cell Brake, and an RS Formula Steering Wheel.

Primary Subject: Heatwarped (free Steam demo, full game unreleased) Key Update: Sealime's demo recreates the look and feel of Need for Speed Underground, but its brake-to-drift handling is too slippery for grip racing.
Status: Evergreen Last Verified: September 23, 2026 Quick Answer: Heatwarped's demo nails the look and speed of Need for Speed Underground, but its slippery brake-to-drift handling isn't there yet.
Heatwarped looks more like Need for Speed: Underground than any game I've touched since the originals.
A City Pulled Straight Out of 2004 Heatwarped comes from indie studio Sealime, and the demo drops you into a slice of Ratfield, a fictional city built around an underground racing scene.
What it can't do yet is drive well, and in a racing game that's the part everything else rests on.

On the face of it, the CONSPIT CHS has several neat features.
Switching between H-pattern and sequential modes is one deft flick of a switch – unlike some contemporaries; no tools or fiddly two-handed motions are required.
The CHS is obviously a sim racing product, but the feeling we wanted was closer to the latter.”
The CONSPIT CHS is here for it.
The CONSPIT team has also rapidly iterated on initial prototypes, with mounting rails designed so the CHS can be installed easily on popular 40 series aluminium-profile sim racing cockpits.

SINGAPORE – Third time’s the charm for a team that included staff and students from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which won an autonomous car race in Italy on its third attempt despite a more challenging circuit than before.
Team Kinetiz – comprising members from NTU, United Arab Emirates tech firm K2 and autonomous systems specialist Alp Autonomy – beat four other competitors for the Sept 5 victory at the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL).
During the inaugural A2RL race in 2024, Team Kinetiz failed to make the final four after placing sixth in a pre-qualifying round.
Teams race identical driverless cars equipped with cameras, lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors, radar and a navigation system.
“We want to translate what we have learnt into broader applications for autonomous systems and robotics for Singapore.”

Pimax Dream Air SLAM Edition is a high-end PCVR headset that targets sim pilots and racing fans who want sharp visuals without a heavy brick strapped to their face.
Pricing, Bundles And Competition Pimax sells the Dream Air across two main bundles.
Several reviews compare Dream Air directly with other premium PCVR headsets.
Use Cases, Limits And Who It Suits The Dream Air SLAM Edition is squarely aimed at PC users who already own a capable machine and want visual clarity above all else.
That makes Dream Air SLAM Edition best suited to enthusiasts who already invest in high-end PCs and are comfortable tweaking graphics options rather than those seeking a simple, console-like experience.Performance demands in complex PCVR titles As a wired PCVR headset, Dream Air also lacks the untethered freedom of standalone devices.

A fan-favorite race for decade, the night race at Bristol is a full-contact, action-packed few hours with cars running around what is ostensibly a mixing bowl.

Here are my favorite picks for Saturday's Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.

There has been a lot of talk on how the current generation of Formula 1 cars is much easier to drive compared to the previous crop that last raced in 2025.
Formula 1 dropped the ground-effect concept from the 2026 cars, which have much less downforce, but despite that, there is a perception that the current cars are easier to drive.
"The previous ground-effect cars were stiffer, with a rear end that always felt very tense, which made them more difficult to jump into for an FP1 session.
"On the other hand, the 2026 power unit is extremely complex.
The few times I have driven it have been challenging, whereas with the 2025 power unit you selected your strat mode and drove," he explained.
