Project Motor Racing General Discussion

[Fezzik]

Alpine confirmed. No Ferrari almost certainly confirmed.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Let's be quite clear, it's not a "Pre Purchase Bonus", it's content that is already complete and has been stripped out of the Base Game to FOMO people into buying before release.

Both things can be true. A preorder bonus wouldn't be much of a bonus if everyone got it. It was likely stripped from the base content technically as it's there to go from launch. However it will still be purchasable after launch so it's not really FOMO as everyone could still purchase it if they wish.

Also, I'm glad it was a class that is kind of, meh, like, the GTE cars are cool, but I wouldn't miss them if they weren't there. If it was GT1, GT4, NGT, LMP or something, might have had a different viewpoint.

 

[Fezzik]

If the Game listing is correct the content is on the disc anyway, so everyone who gets the physical edition gets it pre-order or not.

So today's new cars are the Alpine A424 and the official confirmation of the Peugeot 9X8.

Even without Ferrari this is great news that we have almost the whole LMDH field. But no Ferrari...a weird one but understandable with licensing.

 

[zaxs]

Are all these LMD cars real or they are concepts like in GT7?

They're all real cars

Very real, they race across IMSA and WEC.

Minus the Ferrari 499P, it’s the entire real life 2025 WEC and IMSA grids for the top class.

I’m betting Ferrari will come in a DLC pack, like I believe PC2 did.

No McLarens is the more surprising one, though imo.

Well Project Cars had 2 fictional LMP1, so there’s a precedent kinda. 😅

There was a Ferrari DLC for pCars 2, however there were already Ferraris in the game, 7 of them, and the Ferrari 488 was one of the cover cars.

 

[GTvsForza]

Do you think they would allow modded cars that look like Ferrari's but aren't?

So how many cars does that bring us down to that are yet to be revealed?

Nice, I don't have where to watch these series, so they are completely strange to me.

 

[MagpieRacer]

6 I believe.

LMP2 and LMP3 cars but right. Fun cars and well worth having.

It's open modding. I'm not sure they're going to have a choice. Just like AC didn't have a choice on getting Carby's.

 

[Fezzik]

Open modding on PC, if people choose not to use the in-game portal. Otherwise there are some restrictions, especially for the consoles.

The RWD P30 and the Marek RP 339H were LMP1.

 

[RolexGTP]

6 I believe.

Ferrari 512 S
Ferrari 333 SP
Ferrari 550 Maranello GT1
McLaren F1 GTR
McLaren 720s GT3 Evo
McLaren 570s GT4

...Im still holding out hope dammit lol🤣

I’m going to say the Ian Bell crew learned their lesson and listened to player feedback and had a look back at their earlier game history. From Shift, PC and PC2, those games were fantastic on their own and a good way for console players to experience games that were not GT, Forza and NFS. If PMR, which it’s looking like, has the spirit of those earlier games, they’ve redeemed theirselves.

 

[Beezer215]

Ahh, I just put them in LMP2 for AMS2, I remember now that they were LMP1 which was kind of an odd fit in PC2.

That's great parterre, if only i don't @@@ at hypercars 😜

It's a wonderful LMH / LMDH offering and I cannot wait to get stuck into some multi-class racing.

I see 4 errors in the car names in the Instagram posting.

Acura?

If GTA gets away with it for so many obvious models in their main game, why not?

Imagine we could make modern concept F40's (although I'm not sure if Ferrari would ever do that now?) and there probably wouldn't be a lot they could legally do either.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Acura?

Acura is in, first car in the Insta post for LMDh.

The difference there is Rockstar won't be looking to licence a real Ferrari a few years down the road, if PMR approve mods for a Ferfarti 297 the relationship is killed and it makes their life a lot harder when they're trying to get the real Ferrari into their next game.

 

[05XR8]

On a personal note. Between me and my wife we have a Ford, a Honda and a Mazda. Just for personal brand loyalty I can at least race the Acura feeling tied to the brand with my Accord Euro. My little joys in my gaming life.

That's good. The Acura has kind of been the red headed stepchild of LMDh in games.
