Tokyo Game Show 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most interesting gaming events of the year for sim racing hardware.
Tokyo Game Show is not traditionally as focused on sim racing as dedicated simulation expos, but the 2026 edition is different.
SCS Software Makes Its Tokyo Game Show Debut Tokyo Game Show 2026 will mark the first appearance of SCS Software at the event.
Several major sim racing companies have not announced a specific Tokyo Game Show presence.
The Three Sim Racing Reveals to Watch For pure sim racing hardware, MOZA, Fanatec and FlashFire are the three companies to watch most closely.

Likewise, an RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB approaching $760 competes against considerably faster GPUs rather than conventional mid-range cards.
Why Sim Racing Needs a Different GPU Buying Guide Normal gaming benchmarks usually assume one display at 1080p, 1440p or 4K.
Best Budget GPU for Sim Racing At the lower end, the most important advice may be to avoid overpaying.
Best GPU for 1440p and Ultrawide Sim Racing This is where AMD currently becomes particularly attractive.
The RTX 5070 Ti currently starts around $1,150, while recent RTX 5080 prices are closer to $1,580.

There is, however, another route to refinement by keeping the machinery physical for the experience, while using technology to make touring easier.
Road-ready and fully fueled, the R 18 Transcontinental weighs a whopping 954.6 pounds, stretches 104 inches long, and carries 6.3 gallons of fuel.
BMW did more than just add luggage to the standard R 18, though.
Dubbed appropriately as the Big Boxer, it’s the largest production boxer engine that the company has ever built.
The R 18 Transcontinental Makes Its Case Against The Milwaukee Giant The 2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited goes up squarely against the German.

Drivers called for changes to the layout of the Madring following yesterday’s processional race on Formula 1’s newest track.
Drivers in the Formula 2 and Formula 3 support races also found overtaking was difficult around the 22-turn course.
“To me, it’s not a great race track.

Compatibility is centered on PlayStation and PC use, specifically including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and Mac support.
Individual game compatibility can vary, so the presence and quality of wheel, pedal, force-feedback, and LED support ultimately depend on the software being played.
What we like about the Logitech G29 Racing Wheel and Pedals Dual-motor force feedback The Logitech G29 uses a dual-motor force-feedback system designed to reproduce changes in grip, surface texture, cornering load, and impacts through the steering wheel.
Helical teeth engage more progressively, helping reduce mechanical noise and giving the wheel smoother movement as force feedback changes direction.
Leather-wrapped steering wheel A hand-stitched leather covering gives the wheel a more authentic feel than bare plastic.

I recently attended the biggest sim racing event of the year, and there was nary a loading screen or disconnection error in sight.
Max Verstappen’s participation in this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours is a story born from his late nights plugged into iRacing, falling in love with endurance racing on this track.
The teams and drivers put on quite the show as well; the first nine hours of racing was more breathless than a brisk jog around Everest base camp.
PHOTO BY TopGear.com Personally, I’m ecstatic that people are finally beginning to understand the unique appeal of this special race.
His car retired just a few hours from the finish and, if I’m honest, I’m glad he didn’t win the race.

Oliver Bearman Calls Out Major Flaw in Madrid’s New Spanish Grand Prix Track Design As the Formula 1 circus arrives at the brand-new Madring circuit for the Spanish Grand Prix, rookie driver Oliver Bearman has sounded a stark warning about a critical flaw in the layout.
The 22-turn, 3.3-mile track, winding through the IFEMA entertainment complex near Real Madrid’s training ground, is set to be the 79th venue to host a world championship grand prix.
However, Bearman, racing for Haas, believes the design includes a significant “oversight” that could stifle overtaking and impact race excitement.
The braking zone into this left-right-left chicane is curved, Bearman explains, severely limiting overtaking opportunities by preventing drivers from taking alternative lines or launching attacks up the inside.
One of them is the braking for Turn 5, which is curved, and that’s the real overtaking opportunity, and that curved braking takes away any possibility of different lines and sending one up the inside.

If you spend any time behind a sim racing wheel, you know how dominant GT3 and prototype racing have become across modern platforms.
This patch lays the technical groundwork for the upcoming V8 Power Pack expansion arriving on 15 September.
Driving a modern Gen3 Mustang or Camaro requires deliberate throttle management on corner exit to prevent rear-axle breakaway.
Breaking down the V8 Power Pack lineup The Australian machinery makes up one-third of the wider V8 Power Pack DLC.
Why local V8 touring cars matter for sim racing Most modern sim racing titles prioritize international championships like WEC and GT World Challenge.

Published on 11 September 2026 by Niels Hendrix Pierre Waché, technical director Oracle Red Bull Racing, said after Friday’s free practices in Madrid: “It was quite a smooth session, a normal Friday where you know you need to improve the car.
In FP2 we were a little bit better than FP1.
We did a lot of changes between sessions, and I think we will continue to explore some more changes ahead of FP3 as there's a lot of work to do on car set-up.”
There’s a lot of different types of corners here so it’s interesting from an engineering point of view, but it looks like it’ll be difficult to overtake.
The long run was quite competitive, and our tyre management was quite good, so there’s some positives, but we know we’re not quick enough yet, so we have a lot of work to do.”

The NSA, FBI, and CISA accuse six China-based AI companies of running industrial-scale knowledge-distillation campaigns against U.S. frontier AI models.
What the U.S. advisory says The joint advisory says organized campaigns have operated since at least late 2024 and targeted models including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok.
The customer-privacy question Anthropic says some Moonshot AI/Kimi and DeepSeek requests were allegedly routed to Claude while users believed they were interacting with the Chinese companies’ models.
What the allegations establish—and what they do not The September 8 advisory establishes that the NSA, FBI, and CISA publicly accused six named China-based AI companies of industrial-scale distillation campaigns.
The allegations do not amount to a court ruling that the companies stole U.S. AI models.

An Alibaba listing associated with Shenzhen Suqiao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. claims to offer a modified GeForce RTX 5090 with 96GB of VRAM for a reported $3,888 asking price.
The Alibaba claim The advertised capacity would be three times the 32GB comparison capacity used for the standard RTX 5090 in the coverage of this listing.
Alibaba pages describe the product as an RTX 5090 for AI and deep learning, but they do not present a consistent specification sheet.
The GeForce RTX 5090 and the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell are associated with GB202, while the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell is reported with 96GB of GDDR7.
A separate counterfeit RTX 5090 case illustrates the risk without proving anything about the Alibaba unit.

Earlier this month, a Ferrari F355 Challenge arcade machine was listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, a website known better for auctioning off actual Ferraris.
I’ve written about such a sale before and wasn’t about to retread that ground, until I saw the price this particular cabinet went for: $18,000.
F355 Challenge was developed for the NAOMI arcade platform, which was functionally a Dreamcast home console with more RAM.
If you play F355 Challenge now, it won’t feel like a very realistic experience.
That answers the “why $18,000” question, I suppose, but beyond F355 Challenge’s historical significance and the near museum-quality condition of this particular example, it’s worth considering the state of modern gaming.
