The physics-based destruction simulator Teardown is getting a surprise rally mode for online multiplayer.
Showcased in an announcement trailer, the rally mode is currently in development and set to arrive in a free update, though a release window is unconfirmed.
The update will add 18 new vehicles, including 12 rally cars and six monster trucks.
This isn’t the only vehicle-based mode in Teardown, as the rally mode follows the Folkrace DLC expansion released in 2024.
Whereas the rally mode is multiplayer-only, the DLC add-on focuses on a single-player campaign with players managing a racing business, as well as 30 vehicles.

MOZA Racing’s officially licensed MotoGP simulation handlebar is targeting a December 2026 launch, with the production version now awaiting final approval from MotoGP.
MOZA’s first dedicated motorcycle control The handlebar measures 620 mm wide and uses a magnesium-alloy rear housing, silicone grips and MOZA’s aluminium quick-release system.
We previously covered the complete hardware specification, controls and game compatibility in our MOZA MotoGP Handlebar: Full Specs and Compatibility Revealed guide.
MOZA appears to be positioning it as a general motorcycle simulation control that can also be used in conventional driving titles.
With motorcycle simulation hardware still far less standardized than car-based sim racing equipment, the product gives MOZA an unusual position in a relatively undeveloped market.

As far as esports events go, the third leg of the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 that took place in Singapore on Saturday (Oct 3) at the Marina Bay Sands Theatre was quite the experience.
For the Gran Turismo World Series, the Singapore leg featured three different races, starting with an exhibition race, the Singapore Regional Gran Turismo Cup, followed by the Manufacturers Cup, and then the highlight event, the Nations Cup.
THE THRILLING NATIONS CUP But it was the Nations Cup that had viewers sitting at the edge of their seats with an amazing nail-biting finish that saw Japan's Takuma Miyazono clinch victory despite starting from sixth.
Unlike the Manufacturers Cup, the Nations Cup had all racers driving the standard Gran Turismo Red Bull X2019 Competition car on the Circuit de Sainte-Croix.
The Gran Turismo World Series will culminate in Tokyo on Dec 5 and 6 at the brand-new Shibuya Lovez multipurpose venue.

Racing prodigy Antonio “Anton” Racelis cemented his status as the country’s top young karter after securing his second consecutive T4 Junior Karter of the Year honors following a brilliant performance in the 2026 Tillotson T4 Junior Overall Championship at the Clark Speedway in Pampanga recently.
Transitioning from MiniROK to the T4 Junior class this season, Racelis avoided the typical rookie transition period, dominating the domestic circuit with seven round victories and a first runner-up finish.
Racelis’ championship run required overcoming multiple track obstacles throughout the campaign, including mechanical issues during time trials, collision delays, and recovery drives.
Racelis will formally receive his T4 Junior Karter of the Year award at the Golden Wheel Awards in early 2027.
The milestone follows his recognition at the 30th AAP Motorsport Awards last April for his 2025 MiniROK championship.
