Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Wrong Way 'Round the Ring
A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday. With the real-world Nürburgring 24 Hours having just wrapped up this past weekend, the timing of Race B feels deliberate. It puts Gr.3 cars on the Nürburgring Endurance II layout, which is the track run in reverse. Most drivers have thousands of laps of the ‘Ring committed to muscle memory, and almost none of that carries over when the corners arrive in the opposite order. It’s a single lap, too, so there’s no settling-in. Qualifying will count for a lot here, and expect the race to be messy. Race A is the more straightforward pick, and probably the popular one. It pairs the Lamborghini Diablo GT ’00 with Interlagos for five laps on Sports Mediums. It’s a fun combination to drive, the kind of event that can fill lobbies on its own merits. Race C is the strategy race of the week. It’s 11 laps of Dragon Trail – Seaside in Gr.4 cars, with a 2x fuel multiplier and a 4x tire multiplier, and both Racing Hard and Racing Medium tires available. There’s no mandatory pit stop listed, but with tire wear running at 4x over that distance, a stop to swap compounds is unavoidable. Working out when to take it is the puzzle. GT7 Daily Races (May 18): Race A - Track: Autódromo de Interlagos (5 laps) - Car: Lamborghini Diablo GT ’00 — Event-Specified - Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M) - Tires: Sports Medium - Settings: Specified - Start Type: Rolling Start - Mandatory Pit Stop: – - Fuel Multiplier: 1x - Tire Multiplier: 1x GT7 Daily Races (May 18): Race B - Track: Nürburgring Endurance II (1 lap) - Car: Gr.3 — Garage/Specified Car

Speed Trap <b>Racing</b>, the Region's First <b>Racing Sim</b> Venue, Opening in Lakewood
Andrew Almenar has been quietly working since January in the former Melt Bar and Grilled space in Lakewood. In early June, he will open Speed Trap Racing (14718 Detroit Ave.), the region’s first racing simulator venue. The entertainment destination is built around the industry’s most advanced equipment and technology, designed and built by SimXperience in Akron specifically to train racecar drivers. “There was a feeling I had when I sat down in a simulator for the first time,” Almenar explains. “There is so much to learn and like about motorsports and the simulators give you a path to that.” Almenar has been working towards this goal for years, searching for the ideal location to showcase his efforts. He likens the concept to golf sims in that they are the closest thing one can get to the real thing short of hitting the links or slipping into the cockpit of a stock car. “I see the concept as being very similar to the golf-simulator concept,” he says. “The technology for a lot of things has gotten hyper-realistic. In the motorsport world, all of the drivers on every race team in every discipline have these professionally built racing simulators to practice on and get better on.” The second dining room now features four racing rigs, all-in-one units where you sit in a bucket seat, grab the wheel, and operate foot pedals and paddle shifters. The cockpits boast actuators, “butt kickers,” G-Force seats, G Belts and wraparound screens that mimic the sounds, sights and tactile feel of racing. “This is not an arcade,” Almenar explains. “You’re going to feel the car; you’re going to feel the tires slipping out behind you. When you’re on the highway, you can feel a car coming up next to you. In a simulator, it’s the exact same

As part of the agreement, Automobili Lamborghini becomes the Official Automotive Partner for DreamHack festivals in the US and EU, expanding its presence across EFG’s global events through high-visibility brand integration across the festival floor and premium physical car displays.

The partnership reflects Lamborghini’s continued move into digital spaces and its focus on connecting with a new generation through design, performance, and experience. Through DreamHack, the brand reaches a highly engaged Gen Z
Ayao Komatsu says Ollie Bearman shares one 'amazing' quality with Max Verstappen
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has praised Ollie Bearman for his ‘amazing’ adaptability with category and regulation changes, likening him to Max Verstappen. The 2026 regulations have been scrutinised by drivers, teams, fans and experts ever since they came into effect. Verstappen has been the rules’ harshest critic, even threatening to retire from F1 over the changes. Surprisingly, Haas have been a team that have adapted rather well to the regulations, with Bearman currently sitting eighth in the standings with 17 points. The American outfit are sixth in the constructors’ championship and have been surpassing expectations thus far. Who is going to win the Canadian Grand Prix? Let us know why in the comments! The regulations have caught out the young Brit, however, with Bearman suffering a 50G crash at Suzuka as the closing speed of Franco Colapinto’s car caused him to lose his VF-26. He has not scored points in the last two events, but nevertheless, Bearman has adapted seemingly to the new rules. Haas boss Komatsu notes that he never saw it as an issue, as he has always managed to adapt throughout his career. READ MORE: Everything you need to know about Oliver Bearman from F1 stats to net worth Ayao Komatsu says Ollie Bearman and Max Verstappen have ‘amazing’ adaptability The 21-year-old has always looked to adapt to better his performance in F1. In fact, Bearman changed his driving style to battle Verstappen in Mexico last year, which earned him a career-best finish of P4. Speaking via Essential F1, Komatsu shared how Bearman did not see the regulation changes as a problem, as he has been driving different machinery throughout his career. His exploits on the simulator, just like Verstappen, puts him in a good position. “One of the very interesting things Ollie said to me

I’m proud to be part of this moment and grateful for the support from Dirt Is Good as I take this next
Toto Wolff admits Mercedes 'need to respond' to competitors as he confirms first upgrades for Canada
Wolff admits Mercedes ‘need to respond’ to competitors as he confirms first upgrades for Canada Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff has shared his thoughts ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, a weekend in which the Silver Arrows will bring their first upgrade package of the season. Toto Wolff has conceded that Mercedes “need to respond” following the progress made by their competitors last time out in Miami, with the Team Principal confirming that the squad will bring their first upgrade package of the season to this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix. After seemingly holding a significant pace advantage across the opening three rounds of the campaign, the Silver Arrows’ margin over their rivals appeared much slimmer at the Miami International Autodrome after McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari all delivered updates to their cars. While the team still head both championships – with Kimi Antonelli’s victory on Sunday seeing him extend his lead at the top of the Drivers' standings over team mate George Russell to 20 points – Wolff feels it is crucial for Mercedes to answer back as they prepare to bring upgrades of their own to Montreal, an event that will also feature another Sprint. “We head to Canada ready to get back into a regular rhythm of racing,” Wolff said as he previewed Round 5 on the calendar. “Our competitors took a step forward in Miami and we need to respond; seven Grands Prix in 10 weekends before shutdown is an opportunity to do that and build momentum. “We bring our first update package of the year to Montreal, but we know that performance is only performance once it is delivered on track.” While keen for the Brackley-based outfit to perform well at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Wolff also acknowledged that the Silver Arrows need to “keep learning” as

GALLERY: Verstappen makes Nurburgring 24 Hours debut
GALLERY: Verstappen makes Nurburgring 24 Hours debut Max Verstappen swapped F1 for the Nurburgring 24 Hours over the weekend, with the Dutchman missing out on a potential victory following a technical issue on his car. Max Verstappen has spent a weekend off from F1 racing at the Nurburgring 24 Hours, though the Dutchman’s debut at the endurance event ended in disappointment after an issue on his car put his team out of contention. Verstappen teamed up with Jules Gounon, Dani Juncadella and Lucas Auer at the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for the race – held at the iconic Nurburgring circuit in Germany – and the four-time Formula 1 World Champion had been leading on Sunday morning by over half a minute. However, after Juncadella had taken over from Verstappen for the next stint, the car suffered a driveshaft problem with three hours and 20 minutes still left on the clock, forcing Juncadella to return to the garage for the issue to be fixed. Reflecting on the event later on, Verstappen wrote on social media: “Very unfortunate and frustrating ending, but these things can happen. I still really enjoyed the experience together with Jules, Luggi and Dani. Thanks to the team and everyone around the track for your support.” The Red Bull driver will next return to action at the Canadian Grand Prix on the weekend of May 22-24.

At DreamHack Atlanta, Lamborghini showed how luxury brands are rethinking youth marketing
The automaker’s gaming-focused activations reveal how premium brands are moving beyond traditional sponsorships to meet younger consumers where they already are. When two Lamborghini Temerarios wrapped in gaming-inspired liveries cruised through Atlanta this week before pulling up outside DreamHack, it looked like a spectacle. It was, in fact, a strategy. ESL Face It Group and Automobili Lamborghini announced a long-term partnership this month, designating the Italian supercar maker as the Official Automotive Partner for DreamHack festivals across the US and EU through to 2028. The deal extends a relationship that began with activations at DreamHack Dallas and Stockholm in 2025 and now puts Lamborghini inside some of the world’s biggest gaming festivals on a permanent basis. The cars arriving at DreamHack Atlanta were dressed for the occasion. One carried a ‘Play Louder’ livery; the other was designed inside Fortnite. Both sat in the Creator Hub as photo opportunities. Lamborghini also ran sim racing challenges across the weekend, giving attendees hands-on time with the brand in a format that feels native to the environment rather than imported from a motor show. Luxury automotive brands have historically relied on glossy magazine spreads, Formula 1 paddock passes and dealership experience to build aspiration. Those channels still exist, but the audiences that matter most to a 60-year-old brand looking at its next 60 years are spending their time elsewhere. Advertisement “Through the worlds of gaming and digital, we aim to translate the Lamborghini dream into new, immersive experiences for a highly passionate and dynamic audience,” said Christian Mastro, marketing director at Automobili Lamborghini. “Our iconic and forward-looking design strongly resonates with younger audiences, who recognize in the brand an expression of their aspirations and identity.” Aspiration and identity are the operative terms here. Lamborghini was not expecting DreamHack attendees to walk away and immediately
MotoGP 2026: Di Giannantonio wins dramatic Catalan GP after two red flags
MotoGP remains one of the most exhilarating forms of motorsport to watch, and much of that comes down to the extraordinary speeds involved and the ever-present element of danger. This past weekend served as a stark reminder of just how unforgiving the sport can be. The Barcelona race was red-flagged twice following separate multi-rider incidents, highlighting the risks riders contend with every weekend. When the race finally concluded, Fabio Di Giannantonio emerged victorious. Joan Mir crossed the line in second but was later handed a tyre-pressure penalty, promoting Fermin Aldeguer to second and Francesco Bagnaia to third. - Race red-flagged twice after crashes involving Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta and Johann Zarco - Mir penalized post-race, Bagnaia promoted to podium - Bezzecchi maintains championship lead heading to Mugello Acosta leads opening laps Pedro Acosta made a perfect launch from pole position to lead into Turn 1. Behind him, the opening laps saw intense battles throughout the field, with Raul Fernandez, Johann Zarco, Alex Marquez, and Jorge Martin trading positions repeatedly in the fight for the podium places. By Lap 5, Fernandez had moved into the lead with Acosta close behind. Acosta reclaimed the position a few laps later, while Alex Marquez overtook Fernandez for second on Lap 10. At that point, the younger Marquez brother – fresh off victory in Saturday’s sprint race – looked like the most comfortable rider at the front and appeared poised to challenge Acosta for the lead. First red flag after Acosta-Marquez collision On Lap 12, disaster struck when Acosta suffered a technical issue on the main straight, suddenly losing speed. Alex Marquez, following closely behind, had nowhere to go and slammed into the rear of the stricken KTM. The impact destroyed the Gresini Ducati and scattered debris across the circuit, also collecting Di Giannantonio in

Grandview's New <b>Racing Simulator</b> Bar Lets You <b>Race</b> F1 Cars And IndyCars
If your ideal night out involves cocktails, competition, and pretending you’re about to take Turn 1 at Daytona at 180 mph, Grandview’s newest entertainment spot may be worth checking out. Outlaw Motor Speedway officially opened this week at 1291 Grandview Ave., bringing a full-scale racing simulator bar to Columbus’ growing lineup of experiential nightlife concepts. The new venue combines professional-style racing simulators with sports-bar energy, offering guests the chance to race everything from Formula 1 cars to dirt track machines while NASCAR, IndyCar, and F1 broadcasts play across wall-to-wall screens. And no, this isn’t one of those arcade racing games where you mash the gas pedal and bounce off walls for three laps. Outlaw is leaning heavily into realism. The space features 16 cockpit-style racing simulators with force feedback steering, competitive racing software, and access to more than 150 vehicles and nearly 140 tracks. Guests can race solo, compete against friends, join leagues, or book private events. The concept comes from EPIC Brands, the hospitality group behind Agave & Rye. The taco chain’s menu will also be available inside Outlaw, so expect cocktails, margaritas, and plenty of over-the-top food options between races. Grandview already has no shortage of food and entertainment spots, but Outlaw adds something Columbus has only recently started to embrace: sim racing culture. Last year, Downtown Columbus welcomed Racing Line, the city’s first dedicated racing simulator venue. Outlaw now becomes the second major sim racing bar in the area, signaling that competitive virtual motorsports may be carving out a real audience locally. The timing makes sense. Formula 1’s popularity in the United States has exploded over the past several years, NASCAR remains a massive draw, and racing simulators have become increasingly common for everyone from casual gamers to serious amateur drivers. Some professional racers even use advanced

Intel's Rally Faces a Fork in the Road: Server Share Losses vs. Foundry Momentum and a ...
Intel’s Rally Faces a Fork in the Road: Server Share Losses vs. Foundry Momentum and a McLaren Comeback 18.05.2026 - 05:54:07 | boerse-global.deFew stocks in recent memory have whipped between euphoria and reality as violently as Intel. After a staggering 179 percent year-to-date gain that added more than $440 billion in market value, the chipmaker’s shares stumbled to €93.71 on Friday, shedding 14.72 percent in the span of a single week. The pullback is not a panic — but it reflects a growing tension between two competing stories that will define the next chapter. On one side sits a manufacturing turnaround that is starting to produce tangible results: better-than-expected yields on the 18A node, a string of quarterly beats, and fresh institutional firepower. On the other lurks an unmistakable retreat in the core server processor market, where Intel’s once-dominant grip has fallen to 54.9 percent, according to UBS analysts, down from over 64 percent a year earlier. The gap between those two stories is now the central question for investors. The server stronghold shows cracks The server market is growing at nearly 20 percent annually, fueled by the insatiable appetite for AI infrastructure. Yet Intel is not keeping pace. Rivals AMD and Arm Holdings are carving away share with custom designs and higher-performance alternatives, forcing Intel to fight for every socket. The x86 revenue pool itself is shrinking relative to Arm, compounding the pressure. The weakness is operational as well as strategic. Intel reported an operating loss in the billions for the first quarter, a reminder that even a 60 percent monthly stock surge cannot mask the cost of restructuring, underutilized fabs, and pricing competition. The Deutsche Bank recently lifted its price target sharply from $63 to $100, but kept a Hold rating — a signal that analysts see limited
Intel's Triple Play: McLaren Pact, Institutional Stampede and Foundry Breaks Reshape the Turnaroun
Intel’s Triple Play: McLaren Pact, Institutional Stampede and Foundry Breaks Reshape the Turnaround Story 18.05.2026 - 05:44:17 | boerse-global.deIntel’s comeback story now has three acts: a flashy return to Formula 1, a quiet avalanche of institutional buying, and a foundry turnaround that keeps hitting its marks. Taken together, they explain why a stock that was largely unloved just months ago has more than quadrupled over the past year — and why the skeptics are nursing $12 billion in paper losses. The McLaren partnership, announced ahead of this weekend’s Grand Prix in Montreal, marks Intel’s first F1 involvement since 2009. The chipmaker will supply Xeon and Core Ultra processors to the McLaren-Mastercard Formula 1 team, the Arrow McLaren IndyCar squad and the McLaren F1 Sim-Racing operation. The deal goes far beyond decals on the sidepod: Intel will crunch aerodynamic simulations, race strategy and real-time data flowing between the Woking factory and the pit wall. Edge computing at the track slashes latency and reduces reliance on central cloud systems, a showcase for the kind of high-performance computing Intel wants to sell to the broader enterprise. The timing is deliberate. Intel is leaning into a visible rivalry with AMD, which already works with Mercedes-AMG Petronas. And the racing tie-up arrives just as a wave of institutional capital washes into the stock. Regulatory filings reveal that Chase Coleman’s Tiger Global Management, a $78 billion hedge fund, built a new Intel position in the first quarter of 2026. The fund bought 1.6387 million shares worth roughly $180 million. It was not alone. Northern Trust, Neuberger Berman and MetLife Asset Management also opened fresh stakes. In total, more than 2,000 institutional investors piled in during the quarter, a dramatic shift in sentiment for a company that had been shunned by big money for months. Should investors
