At an event to celebrate 15 years of Gran Turismo at the Silverstone Circuit, Polyphony Digital dropped some big news: Gran Turismo 6 is coming for Playstation 3 before the end of the year. It looks incredible. This is what we know.

Japanese softcore porn with occasional racing, simulators giving you the opportunity the drive the slowest vehicles on the planet, or a T-Rex trying to stop your nitro-powered Holden? These are the weirdest car video games Jalopnik readers know.

First off, I want it to be known that I'm not much of a liar. But I do enjoy a good hoax every now and then, but now it's time to come clean: the video game Ulak-Tartysh, based on the Kyrgyzstani sport (sometimes called Buzkashi), that was made behind the Iron Curtain in 1983, is an incredibly detailed fake of my own…

Racing games are pretty straightforward: you offer some cars, you drive around some racetracks, you add new paint and spoilers. Not everyone follows this formula.

Gran Turismo, one of the greatest racing game series ever, turns 15 this year. There is an event May 15th at the Silverstone Circuit where Polyphony Digital will celebrate that anniversary and make "exciting announcements about its future." Gran Turismo 6, anyone?

Great news everyone! Remember that game you all so loved, the new SimCity, what with its always-on requirements, Orwellian DRM, small scale, and general unpleasantness? Well now you can make it even better, with the first free downloadable content — a Nissan Leaf ad!

Minecraft has a dedicated, almost cult-like following in the video game world. Some players spend months building incredibly precise replicas of structures like the Millenium Falcon, Fallingwater, the Taj Mahal, and more. Now, one racing fan has built an exact replica of the Circuit de la Sarthe. And it is stunning.

The great thing about driving in video games is you can take to the best tracks in the fastest cars, and wreck over and over. Would you actually drive in this kind of mayhem?

Ever wonder what the Super Mario Brothers would look like as Grand Theft Auto characters? You have? Well now you don't have to wonder anymore.

Until now, I had no idea there was going to be a Need For Speed movie, but these pictures show a McLaren P1 on the set and I'm suddenly interested. And that's not the only car that catches my eye.
