Trophies McLaren Shares New Photos of the Iconic F1 1993 Sonic the Hedgehog Trophy
Dreadknux posted a topic in Sonic News
Racing team McLaren has shared some brand new photos of "one of the most iconic trophies in the history of Formula One" - 1993 European Grand Prix's Sonic the Hedgehog - in remembrance of late F1 racer Aryton Senna. The social media channel of McLaren's esports and gaming team, McLaren Shadow, posted a number of images of the trophy from all kinds of cool angles, including from behind where you can see the detail on the blue (bronze?) blur's spines. The post describes it as "the Legendary SEGA Sonic trophy from the 1993 Formula One European Grand Prix, also known as the XXXVIII Sega European Grand Prix." SEGA, which was riding high at the time with huge mainstream appeal for its Mega Drive console and the wild popularity of Sonic the Hedgehog, sponsored the famous F1 event, which took place in Donington Park in the UK on 11 April 1993. As part of this, it produced this one-of-a-kind trophy that featured Sonic holding a prize cup, complete with a moving arm that could go up and down. The race was won by legendary racer Aryton Senna, who was signed to McLaren at the time. Senna, one of the most acclaimed racers of his time, tragically lost his life the following year during the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994. Today would have been the racer's 64th birthday - on McLaren's main F1-related social channels, there are multiple posts celebrating his life and career. It explains why the esports arm of the organisation saw fit to share new photos of Senna's SEGA trophy. In August 2023, it was revealed that McLaren still held on to the iconic Sonic trophy, posting the above photo of the statue next to the vehicle that helped Senna win the race in 1993 - the McLaren MP4/8. What do you think of this iconic trophy? Were you there when Senna competed in the 1993 Grand Prix? Share your thoughts and memories in the comments section below!

This is a strange discovery, but it's interesting to see that this would've been one of the first proper crossovers of both brands. This build is dated to 2004 so it's safe to assume it could've released around 2005 or 2006? I dunno, this prototype seems early. Crash and Spyro themselves don't appear to be playable in the build though a video file was discovered as well with them viewable.

Would you like to see a Sonic racing title similar to Sonic R again?
Winston posted a topic in Sonic Racing Squad's Topics
I don't exactly love Sonic R or anything, outside of the soundtrack and the over-all aesthetic of the game, but would you be interested in getting another Sonic game where there's primarily no vehicles? Of course, somebody like Eggman would always use a vehicle, but I find the idea of a mostly on-foot Sonic racing game to be worth revisiting. Of course, there'd be questions on how someone like Knuckles or Rouge could keep up with the speed of Sonic, but I think they could give a good story reason as to why Sonic is going slower than he normally would when racing. But yeah, I'd be interested in getting one. What do you think? -
FAST Racing NEO is a futuristic racing game that will be released 2015 exclusively for Wii U (in the eshop). The game looks very promising but probably a lot of people don't know about it so I thought it would be a good idea to post a new topic. Here are first details: - It'll run at 60fps (frames per second) and 720p - It'll support 1-4 local multiplayer - Online racing and online rankings will be included - The first footage will be shown in June.

How Kickstarter inspired the Burnout developer’s next game: http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/10/5796632/criterion-new-game-e3-2014-matt-webster-interview This was probably one of my most anticipated games coming out of E3; it just looks like so much fun, and I can see many great memories being made playing it. I've heard it said that it looks like Just Cause, if JC were a racing title, and I can't help but nod in agreement at that sentiment. Time will, of course, tell if I'm saying that a couple of years from now, but I have a huge amount of hope for this game, partly because it's Criterion and these guys are super good at what they do. Adding to my hope is this quote from another forum I visit: EXCITEMENT I can't wait to see proper footage, hopefully at next year's E3.

Trackmania 2: Stadium is available for preorder, beta available
Candescence posted a topic in Video Games
Edit: Trackmania 2: Stadium is available for pre-order, and you can play the beta if you do so. All the Maniaplanet games are now on Steam, too. Oh, and Stadium looks fucking amazing. If you haven't played Trackmania, you're missing out. Hell, you have no reason not to play it, since Trackmania Nations Forever is FREE. And Trackmania 2 is looking to be even better. Trackmania is all about simple, arcade racing that revolving around getting the best times possible on tracks. And that's only half of it. The deep, intuitive track editor from the original is returning, with improvements, and it's possible to make even more amazing tracks than ever before. Oh, yeah, and did I mention the visuals are jaw-droppingly gorgeous? Additional Videos: Gameplay Just take a look at the map editor vid in the link above - when the guy is finished with the whole thing, the final playthrough of the user-created level looks like something you wouldn't have known was made in a grid-based level editor instead of being modelled by hand or something. Bloody amazing. And there's even a scripting language to allow even more custom content. So far, it's just the Canyon environment, but the developers are gonna release more environments over time 'episodically'. They're also working on ShootMania and QuestMania, an FPS and an RPG with the same design philosophy as Trackmania 2 - arcade-style gameplay with user-designed levels and content. I'm looking forward to the both of these as well.- 4 replies

Well since there doesn't seem to be one. This is the Mario Kart topic. And now I'll say something's on the newest game. Mario Kart 7. Mario Kart 7/3DS is an upcoming racing video game for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is being developed and published by Nintendo, slated for release in December 2011. Similar to other games in the Mario Kart series, it incorporates various characters from theMario games racing with one another on Mario game-themed tracks. New additions to the game include hang-gliding attachments for karts and the ability to drive underwater. While carrying on from the traditional Mario Kart gameplay, Mario Kart 7/3DS introduces some new gameplay features. One of these includes a hang glider attachment which allows players to drive off ramps and fly through the air in order to clear across obstacles or take alternate paths throughout the course. Driving underwater adds a propeller to the kart, offering a different style of handling. Another new feature is the ability to customize a character's kart, such as changing its tires which effects its handling on certain surfaces. Coins make a return from some of the previous entries in the series, which will allow players to increase their speed or strengthen defenses against attacks. Discuss your memories and favorite things from the games and what you hope for in the future. And Also. Has there been any recent gameplay videos or news on MK7 at Gamescon?
