Gran Turismo 7 seemingly has a longer shelf-life than expected, with a two-part Spec IV update on the way later this year. There are 12 cars and two tracks, but more importantly, some key quality-of-life and feature additions, with John Munro and Thomas Harrison-Lord break down.

They also cover the interesting new Assetto Corsa Rally update, due this week, and dive back into the iRacing Career mode debate sparked by a recent Traxion YouTube video.

For the non-sim racing fans, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush has also been tested.

As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments!
