The 1,500-plus HP Club in Project CARS 3: ICE!

It’s one of those elbows-out circuits where every position gained is testament to racecraft, and every second gained testament to time invested in learning its little secrets. The run through Coram, in particular, has been separating the very good from the legends for half-a-century (the heroes never lift!), and the weather, […]

Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari

It’s a pub argument for sure, but those who say classic F1 ended at 2:17pm on a warm Sunday in May of 1994 may have a point because nothing was ever the same again after that tragic weekend—not for racing, and certainly not for the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari that would become the […]
