Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: GT-One in a Million

A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday. Race C is arguably the one to look at this week. It reads as a Gr.2 race, but the entry list is really just three specified cars: the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99, the McLaren F1 GTR Race Car ’97, and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM ’98. That’s three of the late-’90s GT1 era’s most evocative machines sharing a grid over 12 laps of Fuji, and it should be a fantastic-looking field. The GT-One joined GT7 in the 1.44 update back in 2024, dropping into Gr.2 next to the McLaren and the Mercedes that were already there. It’s the #3 that ran at the front at Le Mans in 1999 before a late blowout settled the result, and seeing it alongside other legends reason enough to load this one up. There’s a 2x fuel multiplier, heavy 6x tire wear, and a single mandatory pit stop. Race A heads to the Tokyo Expressway (East Clockwise route) for four laps in the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo, the brand’s “VGT” concept in its racing-series trim. A Vision Gran Turismo car as the fixed machine for a spec race is always a slightly polarizing pick. It runs on Racing Hard tires with a 2x tire multiplier, and BOP is set to (H). Race B is the short one: four laps of the Yas Marina Circuit in Gr.3 cars on Racing Hards. It’s a rolling start with brake balance the only setting left open, so it’s a quick sprint around the Abu Dhabi venue with no pit-stop wrinkle to manage. GT7 Daily Races (June 1): Race A - Track: Tokyo Expressway – East Clockwise (4 laps) - Car: Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo

IT'S <b>RACE</b> WEEK: 5 storylines we're excited about ahead of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix

IT'S RACE WEEK: 5 storylines we're excited about ahead of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix Chris Medland highlights the biggest talking points as F1 heads to Monaco for the sixth round of the 2026 season. The European season gets underway with one of the most recognisable races in motorsport, kicking off a run of six races in eight weeks. Kimi Antonelli’s commanding lead in the Drivers’ Championship is not the only talking point as the motorhomes make a return this weekend in Monte Carlo. It’s Monaco This is an entry that can absolutely make an annual appearance in this feature, because the Monaco Grand Prix remains one of the most iconic events on the sporting calendar. The setting is one thing, with the stunning backdrop of the Principality climbing up the hillside around the harbour, and the race track winding its way past iconic venues such as Casino Square and the Swimming Pool. With the Mediterranean Sea often shimmering away in the background, too, it’s a beautiful place for a race. And while the race itself can sometimes need an unexpected interruption to mix up the order, that puts a huge importance on Qualifying for one of the most crucial Saturday sessions of the season. An F1 car lapping Monaco even on its own in practice is a spectacular sight, but doing so when on the ragged edge during a qualifying lap is a level above, and a massive test of driver skill, bravery and concentration. The nature of the layout should also lend itself to this generation of car, with drivers having to handle the huge amount of torque in this year’s more nimble machinery, while also having plenty of energy at their disposal. Winning the Monaco Grand Prix is often listed as one of the top ambitions of

Kimi Antonelli names Ferrari as 'team to beat' in Monaco as Lewis Hamilton admits car ...

Antonelli names Ferrari as ‘team to beat’ in Monaco as Hamilton admits car could be ‘really strong there’ Kimi Antonelli will be looking to continue his recent winning streak at the Monaco Grand Prix – but the Mercedes driver believes that Ferrari are likely to pose a threat. Kimi Antonelli is anticipating that Ferrari will be the “team to beat” at the Monaco Grand Prix, with Lewis Hamilton also voicing his belief that the Scuderia’s car could be “really strong there”. Antonelli has embarked on a run of consecutive victories across the last four rounds, leaving him with a 43-point lead over Mercedes team mate George Russell in the World Championship standings. However, Ferrari had a good outing at the recent Canadian Grand Prix, where Hamilton recorded his strongest race day result for the team so far by crossing the line in P2. Speaking to Sky Sports F1 in the aftermath of his latest win in Montreal, Antonelli was quizzed on whether Monaco could suit the Italian squad’s car characteristics. “I think Ferrari’s going to be the team to beat in Monaco,” the championship leader responded. “It’s going to be very interesting how we do there, but for sure Ferrari is the favourite because obviously also with that winglet they have in the back, it’s giving them a lot of downforce at low speed. “For sure it’s going to be interesting, but I’ll try to do my best, to put myself in the best position and to achieve the best result possible.” Hamilton was also asked when speaking to the media post-Canada about whether Monaco could pose an opportunity for Ferrari to win a race, given that he was heard talking about a lack of power over the radio in Montreal – and Monte Carlo is a venue known for

Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari change outlined as Sainz subject of Binotto claim – round-up It’s Monaco Grand Prix race week, and we’re taking a look back at Monday’s main headlines as Lewis Hamilton outlined a change in approach, Mattia Binotto makes a claim about Carlos Sainz’s Audi negotiations, and McLaren unveiled a special colour scheme for the next two races. There’s plenty to dive into, so let’s catch you up. Lewis Hamilton will ‘probably not’ use Ferrari sim for race prep Want more PlanetF1.com coverage? Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trust. After his podium in Canada, Lewis Hamilton confirmed he is unlikely to use the Ferrari simulator too often for race preparation from here. Clarifying “I’m sure I will drive it at some point”, he will likely want to do correlation work to see if what he feels in the car will translate to the virtual world, in order for rounded progress on and off the circuit. Read more: ‘Too many risks’ – Next Lewis Hamilton step after Ferrari experiment confirms suspicions Binotto: Sainz went against father’s advice in Williams deal Mattia Binotto claimed Carlos Sainz did not heed the advice from those in his inner circle when choosing his next move in Formula 1 in 2024. Ultimately, Sainz plumped for Williams as his next team, but Audi was also hotly tipped as a potential name for the Spanish driver. Carlos Sainz Sr also has a long association with Audi, and Binotto added Sainz Jr “made his own choice” when it came to negotiations, “which is great for him.” Read more: Mattia Binotto lifts lid on Carlos Sainz negotiations after Audi F1 2024 snub Special McLaren livery for Monaco and Spain McLaren will be marking 1000 races in Formula 1

Assetto Corsa EVO's next update to include Audi R8 GT3

The next Assetto Corsa EVO update will continue the recent trend of further race cars to perhaps better align with the title’s multiplayer aspirations. Following the likes of the Ferrari 296 and Ford Mustang GT3 models in the recent version 0.6 update in April, the next (0.7) early access update will include two GT2-spec motorsport-derived Porsches. It has now been confirmed that they will be joined by the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II. One of the oldest currently-homologated GT3-spec machines, with Audi Sport no longer officially backing the V10-powered project, one was used to win last weekend’s GT World Challenge Europe round at Monza.

Acer reveals secondary display for Flight Simulator, <b>sim racing</b> and productivity apps

Acer reveals secondary display for Flight Simulator, sim racing and productivity apps Ahead of Computex, Acer showed the PM131QT secondary display in a showroom in Taipei. Unlike conventional PC monitors, the PM131QT has a very wide aspect ratio. It measures 1920 pixels across but only 720 pixels vertically, with a display diagonal of 12.3 inches. That makes this display ideal for smaller tools but also for games with multi-monitor support where instruments, for example, need to be moved elsewhere. A conventional second monitor is not always ideal for this, as it may simply be too large. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, smaller instruments could easily be moved to the PM131QT, which could then serve as a third or fourth monitor depending on the setup. This should also work with X-Plane, see the video at the end of the article for a similar situation. However, this has a significant impact on the frame rate there. Since Acer’s monitor has far fewer pixels than a typical second monitor, that should have a positive effect. Racing sims should also be a good candidate for this. Here, too, some instruments are not important enough to remain on the main screen. Acer itself is naturally focusing more on professional applications. Tools could be placed there instead. Thanks to the touchscreen, direct operation is also possible. The monitor can also be used in portrait mode, allowing it to be positioned on the side, for example. A tripod thread on the back provides additional flexibility if the integrated stand is not sufficient. Anyone interested will still have to be patient for quite a while. As Acer told us in Taipei, the display will not launch until toward the end of the year. The price is expected to be around $230. In terms of connectivity, Acer offers both USB

Bathurst winner denies triggering disastrous Monza pile-up

The three-hour race began with scenes that looked more like an online sim racing lobby than reality. According to stewards, the carnage started when the #17 GetSpeed Mercedes-AMG driven by Martin used the excess asphalt on his right before the grass verge. Stewards said Martin made a dangerous re-entry, triggering cars to collide with each other. Several went spinning on the approach to the Variante del Rettifilo, including the Garage 59 McLaren 720S that collided with the first-placed #54 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang. More than half a dozen cars were left parked in the grass, and six of them were forced to retire after less than a lap. Martin was deemed to be at fault for the incident and was given a 180-second stop-and-go penalty. “After the start, car 17 went out of track limits on the RHS of the track and then rejoined in an unsafe manner, causing multiple collisions between several cars,” the stewards report read. “The Stewards agreed that car 17 was at fault in this incident and committed a breach of the regulations.” Speaking on the broadcast, Martin denied any wrongdoing. “Obviously I don’t know what they’re complaining about because I didn’t touch anyone,” he said. “I didn’t have contact with anyone. You can see the car, there is not a single scratch on the car, so I don’t know why they are blaming me because I didn’t touch a single car. “Yes, I had to go on the right, the Ferrari didn’t let me go so I had to go a bit off track, but I rejoined because there was grass and I rejoined safely. “I didn’t touch any car, and now we are [blamed for] this. I’m sorry for everyone, but at the end of the day, I have nothing to say.” Large
