The sixth NLS round proved to be another challenging but encouraging outing for the female drivers, Miki Koyama once again emerged with a competitive performance, finishing 23rd overall and second in the SP10 class aboard the Toyota GT4 after spending much of the race fighting near the front of the category. Siri Hökfelt enjoyed a successful return to the track following her accident earlier this year, securing fifth in class with a mixed WS Racing outfit. Rookie Sofia Necchi completed a promising first NLS race with sixth in class, while Katja Thomas led the V3 class, overcoming a penalty in the closing stages. The weekend featured not only the race itself but also several special tests and events for a number of female racing drivers. Swedish driver Siri Hökfelt kicked things off on Friday. After recovering from a serious accident during qualifying earlier in the season, she was making her NLS comeback, an occasion that led to some very special moments right from the start. Throughout the season so far, she has impressed fans and rival teams alike with her rapid learning curve and steadily improving pace, establishing good connections along the way. It came as little surprise to insiders, then, that Hökfelt would be conducting test drives for a team that weekend. However, the nature of the tests was particularly noteworthy. She had the opportunity to

Endurance Motorsport Series showcases Cadillac, Corvette and new Nevada track | Traxion.GG

A new trailer has dropped for Endurance Motorsport Series, showcasing a new fictional track and several previously unseen cars. While several the “sim-lite” racer will feature several real-world circuits such as Fuji Speedway, Monza and Spa, the trailer showcases a fictional circuit called Nevada Motor Speedway. Spanning 5.1 kilometres, it features a mix of long straights and technical sections. High temperatures and humidity will also affect grip, requiring strategic tyre management in endurance races. Continuing the US theme, three previously unannounced cars are also shown racing around the Nevada circuit: the Cadillac V-Series.R, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R and Ford Mustang GT3. The Cadillac is powered by a 5.5-litre V8 paired with a hybrid system and competes in the World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class. Based on the high-performance Z06 production car, the Corvette Z06 GT3.R is powered by a 5.5-litre LT6 V8, while the Mustang GT3 utilises a naturally-aspirated, 5.4-litre V8. These join other previously confirmed endurance prototypes, including the BMW M Hybrid V8, Lamborghini SC63 and Porsche 963 LMDh.

Don't miss this almost unheard-of chance to get a <b>racing</b> wheel for Forza Horizon 6 for under $100

Don't miss this almost unheard-of chance to get a racing wheel for Forza Horizon 6 for under $100 Racing wheels can be really expensive, but this Prime Day deal proves you can still keep the budget tight and get a quality product. Forza Horizon 6 is not a serious sim. It's the best example of an arcade racer you can play right now, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth playing with a racing wheel. In fact, it becomes a whole new experience ditching the controller. Drifting is more fun; cruising is more fun. Everything is just more fun! Racing wheels can be pricey, though, but if you're not seriously getting into sim racing and want a cheap but still good-quality wheel for Forza Horizon 6, look no further than this. Right now on Amazon Prime Day you can pick up a Thrustmaster TMX for just $89.99, and at that money, this really is a no-brainer. Thrustmaster already made an entry-level wheel (T128), but its TMX regularly undercuts it with deals like this. This comes with an accelerator and brake pedal and works with both Xbox consoles and PC. 💲 Price check: $129.99 at Best Buy | $119.99 at Walmart | $119.99 at Newegg Does it have all the bells and whistles on? No, not at all. But for a beginner, or a casual player, this is plenty of wheel at a price you just don't normally see outside of the used market. It has the full 900-degree rotation and is plug-and-play with both Xbox consoles and PC. The included pedals are basic but serviceable, and you always have the option to upgrade to a better set of Thrustmaster pedals down the line. The only thing really missing is a clutch, so you can't pair this wheel with an H-pattern

Engen Xtreme Powers #MazdaMasters2026 <b>Sim Racing</b> Championship

Engen Xtreme Powers #MazdaMasters2026 Sim Racing Championship This article has been supplied. Engen Xtreme proudly partnered with the #MazdaMasters2026 Sim Racing Championship to celebrate performance, innovation, and motorsport heritage through a modern racing experience inspired by the 35-year anniversary of Mazda's historic victory at Le Mans with the Mazda 787B. More than three decades after rewriting motorsport history, the Mazda 787B remains one of the most iconic race cars ever built. In 1991, Mazda became the first Japanese manufacturer to win the prestigious endurance race outright, while the 787B became the first - and remains the only - rotary-powered race car to claim overall victory. The achievement cemented Mazda's reputation for challenging convention and pursuing innovation through engineering excellence. The national simulated (sim) racing initiative brought together the top 40 competitors from across South Africa in a digital racing competition, culminating in a live championship final which was hosted at Mettlestate on 20 June 2026. Inspired by the endurance, precision and performance that defined the original Le Mans victory, finalists competed remotely from across the country on their simulation racing rigs, while audiences and sponsors joined an interactive six-hour live broadcast featuring racing action, interviews, and prize presentations from the studio alongside the race hosts, with the competition remaining fully digital. As part of the partnership, Engen Xtreme Lubricants sponsored the Engen Xtreme Oil Grid Legends Top 10 Finish Award, which recognised ten high-performing competitors beyond the podium and reinforced the brand's commitment to endurance, performance, and the next generation of motoring enthusiasts. The main prize pool awarded R30,000 to the 1st place winners, along with vouchers worth R10,000 per winning team member. The 2nd place finishers received R15,000, while the 3rd place finishers received R5,000. Competitors placing 4th to 13th each received R1,000 as part of the Engen Xtreme

Mumbai Falcons to hold <b>sim racing</b> competition to unearth next Indian F1 talent

Even as there is a growing chatter around Formula One’s potential return to India in the near future, the country’s representation in the sport has been sparse. So far, there have been only two drivers who have managed to reach the glamorous world of F1, and there hasn’t been one on the grid since 2012. Now, in a bid to identify potential future racing drivers, the Mumbai Falcons Racing Team is seeking to create a pathway to unearth talent, albeit in an unconventional way. One of the biggest problems is that the sport is the preserve of the rich, and the cost of trying to forge a career, even at the lowest levels, is prohibitive. To address that, Mumbai Falcons - which competes in various championships in the UAE and the Middle East and has run current F1 drivers like Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Arvid Linblad - will host a nationwide Sim Racing championship in association with F1 to help some of the top performers transition to real-world racing. “The idea is basically to find the next F1 driver. That’s the ultimate goal. But when we got into the psyche kids, we found out it’s too expensive and dangerous. That’s when we thought of doing this: virtual-to-reality? And then, you never know, you can just find one star out of them and who can start coming to our academy in Dubai and move up the rungs from karting to F4, F3 and so on,” said Ameet Gadhoke, owner of Mumbai Falcons. Participants will race from home on their console of preference at the first stage of screening. The second stage will be held in 10 cities as a zonal event, with an expected participation of nearly 10,000 across two sections: juniors (under-14) and seniors (over 14), all using the same
