Pyongyang Racer is a browser-based driving game developed in North Korea, giving us curious westerners a chance to drive around the odd landmarks of the secretive state's capital city. Read More >>

"Gary,
Did you, by any chance, did some homework and realised that Koryo is a Beijing based company and therefore the game isn't a "North Korea's ga..." More »
What you're looking at here is the ultimate F1 simulator money can buy, which is about as close as you'll probably ever get to driving the real thing. You sit in a full-sized F1 car, surrounded by three 23-inch screens and enough speakers to blow your ears off. It's so good, some 'clients' are even using it for race prep. Read More >>
For anyone who didn't see the Italian grand prix this weekend, we saw some seriously insane skills from Fernando Alonso, handling a car hurtling along at 180mph, on the grass, mere centimetres from the side of Vettel's illegal manoeuvre. It was genuinely a heart-in-mouth moment, but it's not the first time. These two have history. Read More >>

It's unlikely you'll ever get the chance to race around the Nürburgring in any sort of Aston, let alone an incredibly powerful V12 Vantage GT3, but fear not -- you can live vicariously through these two chaps, who documented all their prep, practice and racing in this gorgeously-shot short film.

The makers of this utterly fantastic 160-inch behemoth of a wraparound display—a Swedish company called Norman Design—claim the entire rig is actually portable. But since it takes at least an hour to set up, and weighs over 110 pounds, we'd be content with just leaving this permanently assembled in our gaming rooms. Read More >>
If you've ever had a near-miss on the motorway at 70mph you'll know just how terrifyingly little time you really have to react. Now take that, double the speed; add torrential rain and spray that means you basically can't see anything, and try and react this quick. That's one truly insanely close call. Read More >>
Have you ever wondered just how the drivers, who aren't exactly that tiny when stood up, just appear as a small section of their helmet poking out of the cockpit? It's because they're basically flat on their backs in there, and as you can see, Rosberg can barely even see over the steering wheel. Read More >>

As far as movie cars go, James Bond's rides rank as some of the coolest vehicles to ever tear across the silver screen. And now you can bring home a tiny version of those white knuckle chase scenes with Scalextric's new James Bond slot cars. Read More >>
...The Dyson Car Challenge, of course. With a bit of time on their hands and a load of spare parts, the Dyson folk decided to hold a drag race. Fastest homemade car using just Dyson’s handheld motors to cross the line wins! Read More >>
Even though jetpack pilot Nick Macomber gets smoked by this Renault Megane RS in a 400 metre race, it doesn't matter. Jetpacks will one day be the de-facto mode of transportation because they're awesome and I say so. Read More >>
Playing a sick racing game with a joystick just doesn't cut it. Like, at all. You need a wheel at the very least. They're usually big and will set you back hundreds. This won't do either. Read More >>
