BeamNG.drive’s latest v0.35 update saw a huge update to the game’s nascent Rally mode. With five new rally stages, two audible co-driver styles, a boxer-engine exhaust note for the remastered Hirochi Sunburst (a Subaru Impreza in unlicensed form) and realistically floppy mud flaps, it’s clear to see where the BeamNG developers are taking their sandbox driving game. They’re taking it off-road.

A Prodrive Ford Mondeo from the British Touring Car Championship is currently listed for auction and it’s probably the most impressive touring car simulator in the world. Currently listed on the Iconic Auctioneers website, the 1999-spec Ford Mondeo was a spare chassis used as a simulator for a Millennium Dome show in 2000.

Thrustmaster’s highly-rated T598 wheelbase caused something of a sensation when it was released late last year. Bundled with pedals and a steering wheel, the wheelbase offered direct drive-style feedback in a package costing less than £450. Its value was unquestionable in comparison to some of its competitors but many sim racers complained that the wheelbase wasn’t available as a separate unit.

American Truck Simulator’s next stop on the US map is Missouri, and the DLC is out later today. The US government acquired Missouri from France in 1803 as part of the Lousiana Purchase agreement, which not only included the ‘The Show-Me State’ but also all or parts of Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Iowa and Oklahoma, as well as small areas of Canada. So, a fair old proportion of the country, then.

Euro Truck Simulator 2’s v1.54 Open Beta period is over, with the full release available to download now. As we have already documented, the new build of SCS Software’s evergreen trucking title is a relatively small one but could make a big impact on many players’ experience of the game. The headline feature of v1.54 is undoubtedly the introduction of Nvidia’s PhysX engine, which improves the game’s collision detection, especially with cones.

The rally theme continues, as several new rally cars join the game, as well as more World Editor rally props, co-driver tweaks and five new rally stages.

When Richard Burns Rally first appeared back in 2004, one of the things many critics praised was its stage design. Using real-world locations, Warthog Games’ artists used on-site photos to produce convincingly realistic stages; from the cambered curves of Chirdonhead to the hilariously steep jump found on Mineshaft.
