Another Day, Another DLC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GxsHB9X8kM From race-cars to a tiny, angry Italian, like most Forza DLCs, there's a little something for everyone. Let's dive in. 1979 Datsun #33 Bob Sharp Racing 280ZX Turbo - Once famously driven by actor Paul Newman (yup, Butch Cassidy), this crazy motor bears little to no resemblance of it's street-legal counterpart. A proper wide-body sits over a tube-frame chassis to provide adequate downforce for maintaining grip when the turbo kicks in. 1964 Watson #1 Sheraton-Thompson Special Roadster - One of the last front-engined racers to race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, driven by the legendary A.J. Foyt. 1964 Ferrari F-158 F1 - In 1964 John Surtees took Ferrari to Formula 1 victory with the aid of this iconic V8 beast. 1991 Nissan #23 Nissan R91CP - The first Japanese car to take the overall win at the 24 Hours of Daytona, this modern classic marks the performance height and the last of the Group C cars. 2016 Abarth 695 Biposto - Marking the 50th anniversary of the original 695, the Biposto comes out of the factory ready for track. Featuring a number of upgrades such as an Akrapovic exhaust, Garrett turbo, Brembo brakes, OZ wheels, and more, this underdog will give the supercars a run for their money. 2016 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan - America's C63 or M3 competitor, this Caddy sports the power-plant of a Corvette Z06 and Cadillac's best suspension and chassis they've ever developed. Quite a combo. 2000 BMW 323ti Sport - Undoubtedly the ugliest 3-series ever in my mind (yeah, you heard me), this 323ti develops almost 200bhp and is sure to give you hours of slidey entertainment. The Turn 10 Summer Car Pack is available for purchase right now. Let us know your thoughts fears, hopes and dreams in the forum.

It's Not You, It's Me - SMS Move On To Project CARS 2 This week we discuss the latest happenings with rivals Project CARS and Assetto Corsa, as well as news in the non-racing world with Life Is Strange and We Happy Few, and the latest UK charts! The Virtual Racing World As you probably already suspected with the lack of updates and new DLCs recently, Project CARS support appears to have come to a close. Slightly Mad Studios are now shifting their focus to the upcoming sequel, which certainly isn't a bad thing, however it leaves us feeling a little melancholy for the days of regular bug fixes and updates for pCARS. The end of support was confirmed on Twitter recently when a gamer inquired about future patches. However, in the world of Assetto Corsa things are looking up! In fact things are looking bright and shiny as Assetto Corsa has gone gold for Xbox One and PS4. Gone are the days of racing sim PC exclusivity, now even you console scum (kidding!) can join in on the fun! The official release dates are 26th of August for Europe, and 30th of August for North America. We look forward to seeing a new wave of players experience Assetto Corsa. Other Things Remember Life is Strange? Dontnod's episodic game following the story of a teenager who discovers she has the power to rewind time has won a BAFTA for best story, a Peabody Award, as well as over 75 Game of the Year awards. Now, Life is Strange is taking on another form. Legendary Digital Studios and Square Enix are collaborating to produce a Life is Strange digital series, as announced last week by Greg Siegel, Senior Vice President of Development and Production for Legendary Digital Studios. "Life is Strange is one of those rare properties that combines incredibly developed characters and storylines with deeply engaging gameplay.It lends itself perfectly to live-action imaginings. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Square Enix, DONTNOD Entertainment and dj2 to bring the world of Arcadia Bay to life in an exciting new way." Greg Siegel You may have seen the chilling E3 trailer of We Happy Few earlier this year and now you can dive in to it's dark world. Set in an English city during the 1960s, We Happy Few tells the story of an escape from mandatory drug-induced happiness, meanwhile the cheerful folks around you do their best to stop you. We Happy Few is available now as a Steam Early Access title or on Xbox One as an Xbox Game Preview for £22.99. It's been on my wishlist since E3, and I'm dying to play it. UK Charts This week in the charts Lego Star Wars remains numero uno, while Rocket League climbs to #7 and GTA V rises from #4 to #3. Amazing to see GTA V still in the charts almost 3 years after it's initial release. Overwatch hangs in there, dropping from #3 to #5, however we don't expect it to disappear anytime soon. Let us know your thoughts on this week's news in the forum.
