    F1 2018 is a hybrid, much like the cars it simulates. It is both a casual friendly racer, and a simulation that is getting more technical with every revision. It is a racing game, yet it has dialogue trees and upgrade options like an RPG. It embraces eSports, yet provides one of the deepest career…

    At the start of the prior Formula One season, McLaren Honda announced it would be letting Amazon produce a Prime Original series about the 2017 season. The fact that the series is still being released after this awful season was done and dusted, and divorce filed, has me more interested than I was when the…

    I don’t know if I’ve ever really looked at a video game the way that Forza Horizon 3 begs you to do so. I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten into the rhythm of a driving game quite the way Forza Horizon 3 lulls you into doing so. And in fact, looking back at it,…

    This past weekend, I got in some proper video game time. It was then that I truly remembered how great it is when you can make a racing sim silly yet still technical. There’s a perverse joy found when you take all of the technology and handling models that Turn 10 Studios developed, and then…

    If you’re a listener of The DFL Show, you might have already heard some of my thoughts on the “revised” WEC calendar for next year. With COTA off the list for now, I’m left sitting here in the media center at the circuit wondering if this will be my last ride with the series that…

    Since Codemasters got the Formula One license way back in 2008, we’ve seen some real highs and lows of the series. From the low of their first game, which was only available on the Wii and the PSP, and highs of games like F1 2012, it seems like we’ve been waiting for another fresh version…

    Infiniti, known for selling tarted up Nissans to people that yearn for the old days of Skylines, has shocked the automotive world with one of most oddball and stunning concepts we’ve seen in a long time. It’s inspired by the amazing and daring Grand Prix cars from the 30’s and 40’s. Yet instead of a…

    Well, I’ve sat on this longer than I wanted to because I’m still not sure how to feel about this most recent release from Playground Games and Microsoft.

    Well, as apart of this AAP Sports car showdown weekend, Mercedes was nice enough to grant me a passenger lap in this beautiful AMG GT-S. And, since it wasn’t my first rodeo in the side seat of a supercar around the track, my driver, AJ, decided to light them up wherever he could to give…
