Star Wars: Galactic Racer delivers high-speed, roguelike thrills

Star Wars: Galactic Racer, launching October 6 on PC, PS5, and Xbox, is a high-speed racing game that blends arcade mechanics with a roguelike structure. Developed by Fuse Games, the title features a campaign where players pilot various vehicles, including iconic podracers, across multiple planets. Critics praise the game's intense speed, authentic Star Wars atmosphere, and technical performance, though some note that on-foot segments are repetitive and the campaign can be frustrating due to its difficulty.

Monaco Podium Rewritten After FOM Timing Error

In Monaco, Gasly initially received two pit-lane speed penalties totaling 10 seconds, dropping him to P7, and five drivers were penalized for speeding by 0.1 kph. The stewards later ruled the penalties were issued in error after FOM revealed a miscalculation in the pit-lane distance (77 cm off), rescinding the penalties and promoting Gasly to P3 while demoting Isack Hadjar to P4, reversing the podium.

Audis new Nuvolari hypercar, unveiled in Cap d’Antibes, packs 1,001 hp and a 215+ mph top speed in a limited 499-unit run, and has sparked speculation it could underpin a future factory GT3 program as Audi pivots from the R8 LMS GT3 toward low‑volume road cars built for the race track, potentially on a shared platform with Lamborghini Temerario; no official GT3 plan has been announced.

Diego Botin led overnight, while the U.S. boat sustained damage from a nosedive; celebrities like Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor joined the weekend’s coverage.

Forza Horizon 6 Turns Japan Into an Open-World Road Trip

The Verge’s Andrew Webster argues that Forza Horizon 6 isn’t just about racing; it’s a Japan-inspired open-world road trip where exploration, Discover Japan tasks, and hidden-car quests drive progression, making the journey more compelling than the battles on the track. The game offers a diverse map from Tokyo to Mount Fuji, two progression tracks (Horizon Festival and Discover Japan), and rewards for exploration, with cinematic big races and even a mech race adding flair. It launches May 19 on Xbox and PC, with a PS5 version planned for later in 2026.
