No official World Rally Championship game covers the 2025 season, and none will cover 2026 either.
Five regimes have held the official WRC game license since 2001.
World Rally Championship arrived in Europe on November 30, 2001, PlayStation 2 exclusive, and four annual sequels followed through WRC: Rally Evolved in October 2005.
The license itself sat unclaimed for four years, with no console WRC game between Rally Evolved and 2010.
No game license fee has ever been disclosed in any era of this, by anyone.

“To be honest, I was just hoping to get a good finish out of that,” a stunned Warman said post-race.
Bobby Zalenski (ERA eSports Team), Wyatt Tinsley (Kansas City Pioneers), and now Minter sit above that cut line.
On the final restart, with a Wilson win looming, both DeMerchant and Quentin Warman were in prime positions to snatch it away.
We know that Wilson is locked, and both White and Salas have to win to get in, no matter what.
NEXT RACE: KANSAS CUTOFF Following Texas, the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series will race next at Kansas Speedway, the third and final race of the 2026 Postseason.

This sent him to the back of the pack, and for Rennsport Grandmasters, made them a little less comfortable to reach the Final than they’d hoped.
Sebring played host to race three, and this time Charlie Collins was able to take pole, fresh off victory in race one.
Porsche Coanda would end the day second (55 pts clear), MOUZ fourth (40 pts clear) and BS+ Competition in fifth (38 pts clear).
Now it was down to TCE to finish the job, and a Csincsik pole with Keithley alongside looked to do the trick.
However, with just a couple of laps to go, Csincsik seemed to start having braking problems into the turn seven hairpin.

iRacing has significantly expanded its new Weather Reroll system for 2026 Season 4, with 34 official Sports Car and Formula Car series now regenerating weather conditions for every individual race session.
iRacing originally described these experiments in its August 2026 Development Update as a measured test rather than a service-wide overhaul.
The other weeks can still receive regenerated weather conditions without introducing rain.
The Fixed series is explicitly included, while the corresponding Open series does not appear in iRacing’s initial rollout.
iRacing Plans to Expand the System Further The 34-series implementation is not intended to be the final scope of Weather Rerolls.

Steam Frame Price and Specifications Valve is offering Steam Frame with either 256 GB or 1 TB of internal storage.
Why Steam Frame Is Interesting for Sim Racing The most important Steam Frame feature for sim racing is not its standalone processor.
For that reason, headline specifications alone cannot determine whether Steam Frame is preferable to a dedicated DisplayPort PC VR headset.
Steam Frame is designed around PC game streaming and SteamVR, making existing PC VR racing simulators an obvious use case.
Steam Frame Reservations and Availability Valve opened Steam Frame reservation sign-ups on September 14.

I hadn't worked with Asetek Racing prior to May of this year, but since then, I've steadily grown more and more impressed with both their line of sim racing products, as well as their team and company in general.
The Virtual Button Box First, let's discuss the brand-new Virtual Button Box update that Asetek has rolled out for users, which is actually 100% free, already available, and simply requires an update to their Race Hub software in order to start using.
The Virtual Button box uses your wheel's touchscreen in order to populate six entirely customizable additional buttons, which is a very cool QoL improvement to the hardware.
I've steadily grown more and more impressed with both their line of sim racing products, as well as their team and company in general.
As previously mentioned, the Virtual Button Box has already launched for free, so simply update your Race Hub software to start customizing if you have a compatible wheel.

If your idea of racing games is based on Pole Position or Hard Drivin', you'll be shocked at how much modern sim racing is like jacking into the Matrix.
While "boomer shooters" like Selaco and Dusk are making retro gaming cool again, especially for people without killer gaming rigs or the latest consoles, sim racing is going the opposite direction.
Assetto Corsa, long considered the gold standard for sim racing, laser-scanned tracks like the Nürburgring Nordshleife, Silverstone Circuit, and Brands Hatch for crazy accuracy.
What's truly nuts is how much sim racing returns the favor to the real world.
It's called rFpro, formerly rFactor Pro, and it not only helps F1 teams train drivers, but it's also educating autonomous driving systems.

GPU Prices Keep Climbing Through the Second Half of 2026 Sim racing GPU prices didn’t move in one clean jump.
Sim racing rigs are unusually exposed to GPU price swings because the hobby often demands more than one monitor.
First, the increases scale with how desirable a card is for reasons that have nothing to do with sim racing.
Historical Context: This Isn’t Sim Racing’s First GPU Price Shock Sim racing as a hobby has grown up alongside three distinct GPU pricing crunches now, and each one had a different root cause.
Frequently Asked Questions Why are sim racing GPU prices rising in September 2026?

I have to confess that lately, I just haven’t had the mental stamina to take sim racing too seriously.
Browsing the sim racing subreddit over the past few months, I have noticed many drivers sharing this exact sentiment.
Rally: racing against yourself I have never been a die-hard rally fan, especially after the iconic WRC era faded and Japanese manufacturers stepped away from top-tier competition.
Throughout 2026, both Richard Burns Rally (with modern plugins) and Assetto Corsa Rally have been widely praised as the premier experiences in the discipline.
