Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for PS3 is on its way, and Logitech is anticipating the launch by announcing the official wheel of Gran Turismo, with advanced force feedback technology. The Driving Force GT looks pretty impressive with its ability to recreate bumps, crashes and traction loss, the 24-position adjustment dial and the 900-degree wheel rotation.
Although Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is due April 17th, the Logitech wheel will only be available in May, for a price of $150.

Watch the movie and wait for it to come out. It looks great and it might be worth the wait. Look here for the stun trailer, too.
Burnout Paradise tracks a number of extra goodies that you can “collect”. There are Burnout billboards scattered throughout the demo that you can smash through, upon which a counter will pop up to tell you how many you’ve found. Likewise, you can crash through construction barriers and are shown a similar counter for your efforts
I really think that if you are crazy about racing - crazy enough to buy your son a BMW-Sauber Formula 1 kids seat for the car - and you have around $4500 to buy it, this Racing Simulator Hot Seat should be what you dream when you think about the perfect Christmas gift.

I don’t really like racing games. I mean, I drive a lot, at least at home I want to sit in my chair and watch some movies or, if I play a game, I would rather play something without speed and crashes. Still, I do get the need, from time to time, to burn some rubber.
And Burnout Paradise might seem the title for those moments. I mean, I would never drive my car from a building, but who’s to stop me now, in the game, especially since in the latest “Stunt Run” trailer of the game you can jump as long as bridges? Paradise City, here I come… from January something, 2008. See the trailer after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
We all get bored at work, at the office… So why not challenge our co-workers to a race?
The biggest problem? Productivity in the office will fall to be almost inexistant. Look at the video below and think about it: how many races until you get bored? At least 1-2 days of racing, ain’t it? Well, it’s worth it :D

The Sega Joypolis is one cool place. Located at Tokyo Decks Beach, the 3-story arcade and amusement park have an awesome ride, a gigantic setup of the Initial D racing game. For only 600 yens (that about $5) or even for free (if you have an unlimited day pass) you get to ride in a real Subaru Impreza WRX, Mazda RX-7 and the Tofu car, cars which move realistically while you play. Pretty awesome, huh?
