Just purchased the Ferrari I needed to complete (until the next update) Gran Turismo 7.

In images such as these, the Ferrari F80 can look gawky - slab sides and a sunglasses-adorned face.
But in person, it's miraculously cohesive and imposing.

How Assetto Corsa’s creators nearly made an official F1 simulation

This one has seen better days, and in many ways a Fiat Panda 100HP is terrible (fuel economy, turning circle and ride quality etc)
But there isn't a day that goes by where I don't miss owning one.

If you happen to be in the market for a new premium car, this Alfa Romeo is dated in many respects.
But it has CarPlay/Android Auto, is RWD and just look at it...

Small, economical, funky interior, and a boot floor that melts your frozen food - can't help but think the Smart would be ideal in 2025.
But a combination of tastes and regulations means, sadly, Smart now makes giant SUVs with a 100kWh battery and a cringe 'hashtag' name.

Paris has changed - it's full of Disney movie adverts, Toyota hybrids and Heineken.
But, there's still some classic French, dented, shitboxes around if you look hard enough.

38% of Digital Bros' revenue was from Assetto Corsa games in the last nine months, ending 31st March.
The only game the parent company released in that period was EVO.
No pressure, then... traxion.gg/assetto-cors...

Assetto Corsa franchise revenue jumped 34% following EVO release
Naturally, releasing a new game, even in early access, sees revenues increase.

Recent job losses and the WRC game cancellation mean there’s no longer a rally team at EA and Codemasters
Here, we look into the rally game history through Colin McRae and Dirt, and how it all came to a close.
