PixaRacer will be exhibiting at the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026 next week on 16th-18th October, demonstrating its unique technology that merges real RC cars with sim racing.
First showcased at Zandvoort 2026 during GT World Challenge Europe, its patent-pending technology lets you drive real RC cars on a physical track while sitting in a sim rig, using the wheel and pedals to control the car.
You can even feel real-world forces such as grip and impacts through the wheel, rather than artificial force feedback.
At the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, visitors can see PixaRacer’s RC racing technology in action or try it for themselves on a custom track in a 200 sqm booth.
Tickets are now on sale for SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026, which takes place in Hall 2 of the Frankfurt Messe on 16th-18th October.

However, there’s one successful title that isn’t live-service and receives content monthly: Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo 7.
Over four years later, the racing sim is gearing up for its biggest content drop yet: Spec IV.
Speaking to Traxion.gg, he said, “Gran Turismo 7 is still continuing to sell very well, but we had not expected this from the beginning.
We continue to provide additional content and game modes because there is this user base that is still continuing to grow.”
Unless, of course, a new Gran Turismo is on the horizon.

The original Star Wars racing game was Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, and it was a blast on the Nintendo 64.
Galactic Racer is basically the remake of Episode 1: Racer that everyone has been asking for.

But it can also be a fairly affordable hobby as well, with entry-level components being within reach for many.
The two components only cover the electronics for the build, but this gets almost everything needed for the shifter squared away.
A joystick like those found inside many game controllers is paired with an Arduino Pro Micro, with a very straightforward wiring configuration between them.
These components are paired with a prototype 3D printed case and shift knob which provides the H pattern of choice.
From there it’s as simple as uploading some readily-available firmware, which [Jason] also demonstrates, and which has many options for various configurations of shifters.
