Project CARS Series

When Project CARS 2 releases this month, it kicks off a blockbuster season of this year’s most anticipated racing games. While we played the game at this year’s E3 (read our thoughts here), the game’s publisher (Bandai-Namco) recently gave us another go-round with the PC media preview build before the final release September 22.

The marketing push for Project CARS 2 has shown off the vast array of motorsports represented in-game, however, one hasn’t been explored very much at all.

With less than two weeks until its release, we now know the full trophy list for Project CARS 2.

Two of the most anticipated racing games of 2017, Forza Motorsport 7 and Project CARS 2, scooped prizes at the Gamescom awards ceremony this year. With 21 categories covering a wide variety of games, both claimed one award each in their respective genre categories.

As we speak, Slightly Mad Studios is putting the finishing touches on Project CARS 2. While the game should be in our hands in just a few weeks’ time, its soundtrack was only recently finalized. A newly-released video has given us an inside look at the process behind the upcoming sim racer’s dramatic score.

The original Project CARS didn’t exactly have a great photo mode. Those interested in capturing the beauty of the game were left with limited options, especially compared to competitors. A recent video uploaded to YouTube gives us a good look at what to expect from the sequel’s photo mode.

With release just over a month away, we know most of what Project CARS 2 is all about. LiveTrack 3.0, career mode and the huge content roster have all been discussed at length. Slightly Mad Studios has compiled a master FAQ on the game website and there are still some interesting points of note. Lets take a look at some of the FAQ’s key details.

As sim racing trickles more into the mainstream, one aspect that escapes a lot of players is the idea of race day tuning. A decent car set-up can often be the difference between failure and victory, so it’s an important aspect of our hobby. Project CARS 2 is aiming to bridge that knowledge gap with a Race Engineer feature.
