VW's Seat unveils the first fully electric touring-class race car


There's no question that Seat is treating this as a halo car, particularly for its newly formed Cupra sports badge. However, it's not just for show: it's helping to start a new "E TCR" (no prizes for what the "E" refers to) category. It may soon be a question of which racing classes haven't been electrified, even though it'll likely take a long while before the EVs dominate.

Yucatan is the neo-Mexican space punk racer you've been waiting for

Image
It's really been far too long since we last saw a neo-Mexican space punk racing game, hasn't it? I've certainly been waiting a fair while for one, which makes the arrival of Yucatan's demo earlier this month such a pleasant surprise; this ticks all the right boxes. The work of developer Joe Bain - with a little help from his friends - Yucatan plays like a tequilla-soaked Trackmania (and there's probably a fair dose of peyote included in that cocktail, too), a psychedelic racer that pits your gloriously proportioned ride against a series of impossibly cruel tracks. Dig down into the detail and there's a lot to like.

Microsoft to clamp down on offensive language across Xbox Live, Skype, Office, everything

Image
Using offensive language on Xbox Live - as if! - Skype or even in shared Word documents may get you into trouble with Microsoft's newly updated Code of Conduct. And if you get into trouble you could face suspensions or bans, have Xbox Live Gold membership time revoked or even lose money associated with the account. If Microsoft investigates you it reserves the right to "review Your Content in order to resolve the issue", too - which sounds a lot like 'dig through your personal data' to me. The Microsoft Service Agreement changes come into effect 1st May 2018, so you'd better get those swear words out of the way now, you silly old s**tbags. Read more…
