SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 19, 2025 – If you’ve been following Toyota’s “developing ever-better cars” era and waiting to see its newest flagships up close, January is about to get very tempting. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) says it will exhibit at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City, Japan, from January 9 to 11, bringing the GR GT and GR GT3 for their first general-public reveal after their December 5 world premiere.

A Public Debut for Two New Flagships

Toyota is positioning the GR GT and GR GT3 as the stars of its booth, and the timing is part of the excitement: these models are moving from “world premiere” energy to real-life, in-person viewing. For anyone who likes to judge a car by stance, proportions, and details you simply can’t feel through a screen, a show like Tokyo Auto Salon is where the obsession usually begins.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 19, 2025 – Toyota didn’t present its new sports models like a typical “bigger, faster, louder” launch. Instead, the world premiere on December 5 at the Woven City Inventor Garage in Susono, Shizuoka, leaned into something more human: the craft of making cars, the pressure of being judged, and the stubborn decision to keep improving even when it would be easier to play it safe.

A Japanese Ritual That Explains the Mindset

The story begins with Shikinen Sengu at Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture, where a shrine is rebuilt every 20 years and sacred objects are moved from old to new. The shrine’s own explanation reads like a mission statement for any craft worth protecting: “The history of Japan and the spirit of our ancestors must never be cast aside. We must continue to safeguard those things that need to be preserved for the future. Doing so is more difficult than embracing change, and more important.”

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 18, 2025 – If you’ve ever walked a boat show and thought, “It looks amazing… but how does it feel at sea?”, Naples is about to offer a very different kind of answer. The Napoli Boat Show (NBS) will debut March 18–22, 2026 at Marina di Stabia in Castellammare di Stabia (NA)—with a format built around one simple idea: boats shouldn’t just be displayed, they should be ready to sail.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – Crossing the Atlantic is a bucket-list milestone for many blue-water dreamers, but doing it on your own yacht, under your own command, is something else entirely – and that’s exactly what the Steeler Ocean Explorer 72 Two Bubbles just achieved on her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Barbados.

From Dutch canals to Caribbean blue

The story starts far from palm trees and cocktails. Freshly delivered in the Netherlands, Two Bubbles slipped out into the North Sea and headed south, following a classic ocean route that feels like a farewell tour of Europe: down the Portuguese coastline, past sun-drenched marinas, then on to the Canary Islands and finally Cabo Verde.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – What if the scariest thing in a horror game wasn’t a scripted jump scare, but an unpredictable creature that truly learns how you play? That’s exactly the experience Frictional Games created in Amnesia: The Bunker, where “the Beast” – an AI-driven monster lurking in a World War I fortress – turns every playthrough into a tense, personal mind game for players.

A World War I Bunker That Never Plays the Same Twice

Set in a grim, claustrophobic French bunker, Amnesia: The Bunker moves away from the linear, story-heavy structure of previous Amnesia titles and leans hard into player agency. Instead of carefully staged scares, you’re dropped into a semi-open environment where key items, codes and some details change from run to run.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – BMW Motorrad Motorsport is cranking up the excitement for U.S. race fans as Chicago-based OrangeCat Racing officially becomes a BMW MOTORRAD MOTORSPORT Team in the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season. After three highly successful years in the Stock 1000 class, the privateer squad now moves into North America’s premier Superbike championship with full factory backing and a sharpened rider lineup.

From hungry privateer to factory-backed Superbike contender

OrangeCat Racing’s relationship with BMW began in 2023, when the team first lined up in MotoAmerica’s Stock 1000 class with the BMW M 1000 RR. The results came quickly: over three seasons, OrangeCat riders delivered 10 wins and 33 podiums, including runner-up championship finishes with Kaleb DeKeyrel in 2023 and Jayson Uribe in 2024, plus a 2025 title with Andrew Lee.

A Generational Tennis Talent Meets a Global Luxury Icon

A High-Speed Season Opener in the Heart of São Paulo

Once again, the Formula E season starts in Brazil, where the 2.9-kilometre São Paulo circuit weaves through the legendary Sambadrome. Long straights, tight corners and a lively urban backdrop guarantee the kind of close, energy-focused racing that makes this championship so addictive to watch. For DS Automobiles and partner PENSKE AUTOSPORT, it’s the perfect stage to send a message: they’re here to win races and fight for the final podium at season’s end.

For fans, it was the kind of opener that sets the tone for an intense, globally watched Season 12.

Action-Packed Start Under the Lights of the Sambadrome

Racing through São Paulo’s famous Sambadrome, with its long straights and tight corners, the season opener was non-stop action from lights out to the final lap. A late incident brought out the red flag and a restart behind the safety car, reshuffling strategies just as teams were playing their final energy cards.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – Citroën’s big leap into all-electric single-seater racing has paid off faster than many fans dared to hope. In a dramatic São Paulo season opener, the new Citroën Racing Formula E Team turned its very first race into a statement result, with New Zealander Nick Cassidy charging from P15 on the grid to a hard-fought P3 – and straight onto the podium.

From P15 to P3: A Charge Worth Remembering

The opening round of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in São Paulo was always going to be a test of nerves for Citroën. New team, new structure, first race in single-seaters – and a bumpy, high-intensity street circuit to contend with. Instead of easing into the season, Cassidy delivered a performance that showed exactly why he’s considered one of the championship’s fiercest racers.
