A 21-year-old racing driver has spoken of his "unconventional" route into motor-racing - which began with computer games during the Covid-19 lockdown. Will Redford, a race winner at the GT Challenge de las Américas last month, said it was his dad that got him into the sport in the first place. He said: "My dad had always been really into racing sims and stuff like that and he bought me a subscription to a programme called iRacing and there was nothing else to do, I got right into it." After getting to grips with virtual racing he looked to get behind the wheel of a real car - getting his breakthrough in a scholarship competition. Redford, originally from Warrington, told Ian Puckey on BBC Essex's Sport Extra show that his journey in the sport has been "interesting" but "amazing". "I took a bit of an unconventional route into motorsport. I started sim racing... so playing computer games and that was during the first COVID lockdown. "Quite naively quite quickly I wanted to get into a real car not understanding how you've got to raise the money as a driver to be able to go and race." He said that he did "quite well" in a scholarship drive he won and it "spiralled" from there, joining Bourne HPP in Witham, Essex. Racing a Mercedes-AMG GT3 in Guyana last month for the team was "the biggest opportunity" in his career. "Terry Radbourne from Bourne HPP called me and asked me to race in Guyana. We went out we won that event and he hired me," he said. Radbourne is the company's CEO who began his career in Formula One and started the Witham-based company around six years ago. Bourne HPP marketing manager Luke Johnson said the opportunity to race in South America

British motoring magazine evo has published a wide-ranging interview with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, covering everything from the challenges of tire physics to Polyphony Digital’s relationship with Sony. It was conducted at the FAT Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria, earlier this year, where Yamauchi joined Polestar as the company continued its promotional tie-in between the Polestar 5 and Gran Turismo 7. Much of the ground covered will be familiar to GTPlanet readers, but there are a few comments worth digging into, including an interesting one about the pressure Yamauchi used to face from Sony. Sony Pushback Has Eased When asked whether he has ever been told by his bosses at Sony to cut corners or that his team is taking too long to produce new games, Yamauchi gave an answer that will raise eyebrows among anyone who followed the series through the late 2000s: “Up to about Gran Turismo 5, yes. Nowadays, not so much.” Of course, Gran Turismo 5 had one of the most protracted and publicly scrutinized development cycles in the series’ history with two significant announced delays, so it’s interesting to hear Yamauchi acknowledge that corporate patience was being tested during that era. Yamauchi also repeated the now-familiar figure that a single car takes roughly eight months to complete. That covers both the graphics model and the physics work required to make it behave like the real thing, compared to roughly two hours per car back in the original Gran Turismo days. Recreating the Nürburgring Nordschleife, he said, took four years. Tires Remain the Hardest Problem On the simulation side, Yamauchi was frank about where the biggest challenge lies: tires. Components like suspension and drivetrains can be modeled with little gap between simulation and reality, but tires are a different story, with some of

Will Power 'Living Childhood Dream' Ahead Of INDYCAR Freedom 250 In Washington, D.C. Will Power is living his childhood dream. A kid from Toowoomba, Australia — "a small town" with a population less than 200,000 people — Power would envision the life he's currently experiencing. The Formula 2 car stored in his family's garage from his father, Bob's racing days, was a token of what it meant to breakthrough in the racing world. Power's done more than breakthrough. He's competed in INDYCAR for 19 seasons, winning 43 races and two championships. Yet he's still awestruck at the chance to drive in the first-ever INDYCAR race in Washington, D.C. "When I look back at it, I tell people, ‘I’m living my childhood dream' because when I was a kid my brother and myself used to play racing," Power said, speaking with Will Buxton during Friday's episode of SPEED on FOX. "Getting to go to the White House, or meeting the President — for a boy from Toowoomba, a small town in Australia — that is incredible." Power and his competitors tested out the course for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. during Saturday morning's practice. The roadcourse begins across from The Capitol on 3rd Street. Drivers take a left on Pennsylvania Avenue, where pit road sits. The race continues on Constitution Avenue, then the Washington Monument enters the backdrop. Before the practice, Power had only experienced the race via sim. "The track is cool, just based on the sim," Power said on SPEED on FOX. "Seven's proper tight," Buxton said, chuckling. "It's going to be fun." Power's feel for the Freedom 250 will certainly improve ahead of Sunday's race, with coverage on FOX set to begin at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday with the green flag scheduled for 1:13

Launching on 2nd September, Season 7 will primarily feature a Japanese car theme, a region that was previously underrepresented, with six new cars joining the roster. Among the new cars coming to Season 6 are the previously confirmed Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, marking the manufacturer’s Solar Crown debut. The Skyline R34 will be earned by reaching Level 15 of the Solar Pass, while the Lancer Evolution will be a Level 50 reward. These are joined by the newly announced Mazda RX-7 FD3S, which will be available to buy from the dealership, and the Nissan 370Z Nismo, unlockable as a Level 1 Solar Pass Reward. Like Mitusbishi, this will mark Mazda’s first appearance in Solar Crown. Rounding out the new cars in Season 6 are the BMW M3 GT3 EVO and the custom Volkswagen Bettle Buggy Holiday Edition. Both are exclusive to the online store. Alongside the new cars, Season 7 will introduce several quality-of-life improvements, including a new tab for live events, making it easier to access the daily and season challenges and claim rewards. Additionally, spoilers will be removable from select cars, including the Lotus Exige, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline R34, Nissan Skyline R35, Mitsubishi Evo IV and Audi TT RS. Tyre grip will also be improved for hypercars to make the physics “more consistent”, as demonstrated in the presentation with a drive in the Koenigsegg Agera RS. A pit lane will also be added to Hong Kong Island’s racetrack alongside 3D modelled speed cameras and checkpoints. After its September launch, a mid-season update will add the ability to change rim sizes and new third-person chase cameras. A “big partnership” is also teased, with more to be revealed in October’s Solar Club letter. Season 7 was originally set to introduce the Official Racing Centre,

Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood set the fastest time during Saturday morning’s first practice session for the NTT IndyCar Series Washington Grand Prix—the Freedom 250. Operating on a damp track that dried rapidly, the street-course specialist posted a best lap of 57.374s in Group 1 to lead overall. The first session on the new 1.7-mile circuit around the National Mall was delayed by 15 minutes as damp track conditions required initial installation laps on wet tyres. As the driving line cleared, teams quickly switched to primary slick compounds before fitting soft tyres during the split-group segments. Following discussions on the event’s political backdrop, drivers encountered a technical layout where mistakes carried immediate penalties. Will Power clipped the exit wall at Turn 2, damaging his Andretti entry, while McLaren’s Christian Lundgaard spun into the Turn 6 barrier but avoided terminal damage. Álex Palou topped the Group 2 segment with a 57.612s lap, ending up 2nd overall behind Kirkwood. Dennis Hauger, David Malukas, and Marcus Ericsson rounded out the top five positions. IndyCar track action continues on Saturday afternoon with Practice 2, followed by Qualifying later in the day. Broadcast guide: Where to watch in the United States - United States (Eastern Time / ET) - Broadcaster: FOX / Peacock - Practice 2: Saturday, August 22 – 13:00 ET - Qualifying: Saturday, August 22 – 17:00 ET - Race: Sunday, August 23 – 13:00 ET Frequently asked questions (FAQ) 1.

Fanatec has acknowledged wheelbase freezes affecting some Gran Turismo 7 users following Update 1.71, which also enabled FullForce support on the GT DD Pro. Fanatec is investigating a new issue affecting some wheelbases after Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.71, released on August 20. The update introduced several force feedback changes and officially enabled FullForce effects on the Gran Turismo DD Pro, but users began reporting freezes, shutdowns and abnormal steering behaviour shortly after installing it. Reports on Fanatec’s official forum describe bases suddenly losing force feedback, shutting down during a race or, in some cases, pulling sharply to one side before requiring a restart. The problem does not appear to affect every user, but Fanatec has confirmed that the freezes are being investigated following the latest GT7 update. Fanatec and Polyphony Digital Are Investigating Fanatec representative Maurice Böschen confirmed that the company is in contact with the Gran Turismo 7 development team to determine where the fix will need to be made. Fanatec is currently assessing whether the issue can be addressed through its own software or firmware, or whether Polyphony Digital will need to release a new GT7 patch. Update 1.71 made several changes specifically affecting steering hardware. According to the official Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.71 patch notes, Polyphony Digital adjusted force feedback torque strength and friction, understeer vibration, throttle and brake input characteristics, and introduced revised Auto Setup parameters for the GT DD Pro, GT DD Extreme and Podium wheelbases. The update also enabled FullForce feedback effects on the GT DD Pro. Fanatec describes FullForce as an additional high-frequency feedback layer designed to communicate finer details from the car and track through compatible Direct Drive wheelbases. More information on the technology is available through Fanatec’s official FullForce documentation. No Confirmed Fix Yet At the time of writing,

There’s soon to be a sim racing replica of the Ford Mustang GTD’s steering wheel.
Created by Moza Racing, a teaser image showcases the (mostly) round device, with seemingly blue stitching inspired by Ford Racing’s colours.
There’s a centring stripe at the stop, and the proud galloping feral horse logo and GTD moniker (not used on the actual car’s input) on the central hub. What can’t be seen currently is how the on-wheel buttons are replicated or the shift paddle design.
This is from the quickest production Mustang ever, a derivation of the muscle car designed to lower track times, more specifically at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
The Chinese manufacturer has been aggressively expanding into branded equipment relating to real-world vehicles.
Last year at Gamescom, it showcased a round Porsche 911 GT3-aping prototype and has produced a Mission R device. It also confirmed a partnership with Mercedes-AMG at that same event, although 12 months later it’s not been seen.
The Ford Mustang GTD wheel will be showcased at this year’s Cologne event, starting on Wednesday 26th August 2026, where it will also debut a MotoGP-endorsed motorcycle simulator.

The latest NASCAR 26 developer diary details major force feedback changes for wheel users, alongside an overhauled tyre model, revised braking behaviour and the new Dynamic Track system. iRacing Studios has revealed more about how NASCAR 26 will drive when it launches in September 2026, with its latest developer diary focusing on handling, controller configuration and force feedback. Wheel support is receiving particular attention, with the development team promising substantial improvements compared with NASCAR 25. The changes are part of a broader driving model update that also includes reworked tyres, more demanding braking behaviour and a dynamic racing surface that evolves during a session. Together, these systems are intended to make NASCAR 26 more responsive to dedicated sim racing hardware while also providing additional configuration options for different types of players. NASCAR 26 Force Feedback Receives Major Changes Force feedback is one of the main areas iRacing Studios has targeted following NASCAR 25. The development team says it has gained deeper access to the underlying FFB code for NASCAR 26, allowing it to make more substantial changes rather than simply adjusting the previous game’s existing force feedback configuration. One of the challenges is supporting a wide range of hardware, from entry-level steering wheels to considerably more powerful Direct Drive bases. NASCAR 26 will therefore feature a new default force feedback profile, while additional adjustable parameters will allow users to tune the response more closely to their specific wheelbase and preferred settings. More Wheel and Controller Calibration Options NASCAR 26 will also expand the calibration tools available for racing wheels and controllers. Rather than relying on broadly similar settings across very different hardware, the additional options are designed to give players more control over how steering forces and inputs are interpreted by the game. This should be particularly relevant for Direct

Real estate lets you browse, buy and sell houses on an interactive tablet Extensive interior customisation lets you place furniture anywhere Friends’ cars will appear on driveways Customisable garages can display up to eight cars Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown’s Season 8 update will mark the long-awaited return of real estate and customisable houses, lifestyle elements that were staples of previous games in the series. During Nacon Racing’s latest News from the Pits show, a deep dive video presented by Community Manager Alex VII and Creative Director Guillaume Guinet revealed how the real estate aspect will work while showcasing the extensive customisation options for houses. “We didn’t want to just copy houses in Test Drive Unlimited 1 and 2. We had to do something larger. We had to do something that’s more engaging for the players,” said community manager Alex VII. Interactive real estates In Solar Crown, Hong Kong Island and Ibiza will have a real estate agent business you can visit to browse, buy or sell houses. These also act as hubs you can join with your friends. While visiting the interactive estate agent, you can browse available houses on an interactive tablet, before scrolling through and signing a contract when buying a house. Alex VII claims this will be “the most immersive implementation of real estate agency in a Test Drive Unlimited game.” KT Racing also hopes to implement a dynamic pricing system, where you can buy properties as an investment and sell them later to make a profit. It’s not yet clear how many houses will be available to purchase at launch, but it’s worth tempering expectations since “times are difficult at KT Racing,” with Nacon filing for insolvency. “We are not 1,000 people working on Test Drive, so we have to prioritise. And we have prioritised

F1’s Return A Golden Opportunity To Rebuild Malaysia's Motorsports Ecosystem By Siti Radziah Hamzah KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Formula One's (F1) return to the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) presents Malaysia with a golden opportunity to rebuild its motorsport ecosystem, according to Malaysia’s former F1 driver Alex Yoong. He said the F1’s return would carry greater significance if it left a lasting legacy beyond the race itself, by encouraging greater investment in grassroots motorsport, driver development and regional racing, creating a stronger pathway for Malaysian talent to progress to the highest levels of the sport. Speaking to Bernama in an interview recently, Yoong stressed that hosting F1 must be backed by a compelling commercial case and a clear long-term vision of what the event could deliver for Malaysia beyond a single race weekend. The championship could generate benefits, including boosting tourism, creating business opportunities and raising Malaysia's international profile. Yoong made history when he became Malaysia's first F1 driver, racing for Minardi in 2001. He competed in 18 Grands Prix (GP) from 2001 to 2002, and currently holds the record as the only Malaysian driver to compete in F1, which is the highest class of motor racing. He remains one of the country's most recognisable figures in motorsport, continuing to channel his passion for the sport through his work as a motorsport broadcaster. “As someone who has raced in F1 and spent much of my career developing motorsport in Malaysia and the region, it is great to see a track from Southeast Asia back on the world’s foremost racing calendar," said Yoong. Creating a lasting legacy for Malaysian motorsport While F1 represents the pinnacle of motorsport, Yoong said sustained support for the talent development pathway would be just as important if the championship returns to Malaysia, helping more Malaysians

Yuki Tsunoda admits he missed the media sessions as a regular F1 driver, as he feels grateful for the opportunity presented as he decides his future. Often when they are part of the circus, F1 drivers frown on the media commitments, having to answer similar questions from TV to written media. But once they go away, there is some form of nostalgia, even to the extent of missing feeling after going through the drill for several years. After Tsunoda departed from active race seat at the end of 2025 F1 season, the Japanese racer has hung around the paddock in reserve capacity with both Red Bull and Racing Bulls. He got a surprise call-up when Isack Hadjar injured his wrist in the summer break. Red Bull drafted Liam Lawson in their car, as Tsunoda got in the Racing Bulls. He was greeted by host of media on his first day back on Thursday. He was not shy in admitting the missing feeling – although he cautioned that the missing feel depended on the type questions asked. Tsunoda admits missing media sessions "I mean, I've been in this environment for a long time, 4-5 years, and that's enough [to know]," said Tsunoda to media in F1 Dutch GP. "To be honest, somehow, lately, I feel like this kind of conversation, answering questions, something also partly I miss as well. It depends on the questions." He also shared how bored he felt in the simulator session with nothing to show for in the F1 2026 season so far. But the pre-Dutch GP session at Racing Bulls, he felt alive and kicking, knowing that everything he does, will be translated on the track by himself and not any other driver. Opportunity to race and show his mettle is better than talking He thinks

Ambitious racing game Endurance Motorsport Series has been moved from 2026 to spring 2027 for PC, PlayStaiton 5 and Xbox. The news comes from publisher Nacon, with the JT Racing-developed title initially slated for a 2025 launch. The title sees you control a race car not just from behind the wheel, but also from the pits, and across multiple vehicles and classes in one race. To facilitate this, it has a unique swapping mechanic. With one button, the player can switch from being a driver to the chief strategist on the pitwall, and back again. Traxion has tested the game several times at trade shows and events, and the swapping mechanic works seamlessly so far, although it’s clear there will be a mammoth task for it to work smoothly in online multiplayer. “We want to improve and refine the technicalities behind the online functionalities of the game,” said Alexander Arthur, Racing Community Manager at Nacon. Possible cross-play “When you think of team-vs-team [PVP], there’s a large scope of work we have to do for the networking to get it right,” said Sébastien Waxin, Head of Racing / Motorsport at Nacon. “Part of the PVE, PVP and network infrastructure, we’re also checking for cross-play. Cross-play could be a very important feature. I’m not confirming that it will be day one right now, but we are working on that with that target of making it ‘day one’. “That’s also why we take a little bit more time.” Online co-op PVE showcased There are two main multiplayer modes, PVE and PVP. The former was showcased during a News from the Pits presentation today (21st August 2026), where three players team up online and then compete for the same team in an endurance race against AI-controlled opponents.
