The future of Formula 1's official Sim Racing championship is in doubt after multiple teams decided to withdraw from the competition.
Specialist publication Traxion said it had independently verified that several Formula 1 teams were leaving the series.
McLaren and Williams were named in the original report, along with three other teams, although neither Formula 1 nor the teams have publicly confirmed the broader claims.
Claims that Formula One Management is seeking to sell the operation remain unverified and should be treated separately from the confirmed team withdrawals.
Formula 1 and the teams were contacted for comment, but no detailed public explanation has yet emerged.

Onimusha Way of the Sword from Capcom in 2026 is a triumphant return for the samurai sword-slashing action epic.
It’s actually really hard to believe it’s been so long since we last saw an Onimusha game and I’m so happy that we finally got one again!
Onimusha: Way of the Sword I recently played the Onimusha: Way of the Sword demo when Gamescom 2026 was going on and loved every bit of it.
Boss Battles Each boss has their own unique attacker patterns and capabilities and defeating them requires careful use of strategy.

While Ash Sutton appeared almost certain to take the British Touring Car title at Silverstone last weekend, Callum Voisin looked just as likely to also wrap up Porsche Carrera Cup GB spoils with a round to spare.
Voisin did continue but the tracking was severely out and suddenly his serene path to the title had become a little more complicated.
Wherrell felt it was a late call to turn off the safety car’s lights and was vulnerable on the resumption as Van Langendonck darted to the inside of Copse.
It was a gigantic gift for Van Langendonck who headed home Hitech’s Theo Palmer, the only other driver loosely in the pre-event title picture.
Instead it dropped him behind Van Langendonck again as they finished sixth and seventh while CDR’s Tommy Harfield finally bagged his first win of the season from pole.

Middleweight motorcycles, in the last few years, have been getting considerably better at doing more with less.
There is now room between those two ends of the market for something with middleweight pricing, but one that offers considerably more middleweight performance.
Triple throttle bodies also contribute to the distinct intake whistle of the triple, before the engine develops the familiar Triumph howl as the revs climb.
At $10,599, however, it also costs $604 more than the Trident 800.
The Trident 800 isn't trying to become a cheaper XSR900.

For the winning GTP, Spetz started the day behind the wheel, setting the car up to be in winning position.
107 was one of just a couple of teams to opt for dry tires instead of wet weather tires.
“I didn’t believe that we would have any chance after seeing what we were doing on the dry tires in the first stint.”
Cars would reenter a wet track with cold, dry tires, and many hopefuls found themselves in trouble as a result.
124 TC Esports Corvette were able to pit for dry tires around their 10th lap as well.

Published on 27 September 2026 by Misha van der Kroon Jos Verstappen and his co-driver Renaud Jamoul have been forced to retire from the East Belgian Rally, part of the Belgian Rally Championship.
The East Belgian Rally consists of four different special stages, each of which is contested three times: Büllingen (14.04 km), Bütgenbach (6.30 km), St. Vith (12.04 km) and Burg-Reuland (13.67 km).
On the second stage, Jos again finishes ninth, but this time he is just 3.3 seconds off the pace.
“We were lacking top speed, so we made some adjustments for that,” Jos explains.
Jos and Renaud therefore see their BRC East Belgian Rally come to a premature end.
