We’re still quite a way from the official launch date of Project Motor Racing, on November 25, 2025, but the team at Straight4 have revealed some details of the “Year 1” season pass DLC.
Although there’s some information that’s still under wraps — or at least some flowing car covers — the broad strokes of both the timing and the contents have been released through listings in the various official stores for the three platforms.
Assuming you pre-order or otherwise pick the title up on launch day, there’ll be one additional content drop available from the start. This is the “Group 5 Revival Pack” which brings five vehicles from a racing category that survived for almost 20 years and was applied to four different formulae, but probably the most famous was the last — which also formed the basis of Germany’s top touring car series.
Unsurprisingly, the cover car for this pack is the Zakspeed Ford Capri, a wildly winged monster that was only barely related to the Capri road car and which conquered DRM — the predecessor of DTM — in the hands of Klaus Ludwig in 1981. The other four vehicles are unknown for now, but they could be just about anything from the Lotus Cortina of the 1966 British Saloon Car Championship (run under Group 5 regulations) to the 1977 Porsche 935 slantnose, via the 1971 Ferrari 512M…
From there on, it’ll be a case of a new pack every quarter, each bringing new cars — with the wording suggestion an average of 10 cars apiece — and what looks like a new track per pack, starting with the “Japanese GT500 Pack”.
Again, this could be a pretty wide-ranging pack as the GT500 class refers to the top category of both the All-Japan Grand Touring Championship (JGTC) and its successor Super GT under a number of different rulesets.
There’s no immediate clues from the car under the cover (which looks like the same image as the final pack…) but we’d be expecting representative cars from Honda, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota and perhaps some of the less-commonly associated cars like the McLaren F1 and Lamborghini Murcielago. As for the circuit, it could be one from any of the calendars of any season — with no Asian tracks named yet as standard content — but Fuji or Suzuka are the most likely as staples across all seasons.
The Q2 2026 pack is a little more mysterious, going by the name “GT Legends Pack”. This is another callback to the origins of PMR, via the GT Legends title developed by SimBin Studios — of which S4S founder Ian Bell was a major part — and published in 2005, between GTR and GTR2. We’re expecting this to comprise more of the 2000-2005 era of GT racing cars which PMR has been looking to celebrate, but that’s about the limit of our guessing for now.
Similarly there’s a “V8 Power Pack” on its way in Q3 2026, and that too could be anybody’s guess. It’s tempting to assume this could be related to the Australian V8 Supercars series, again a series with multiple different rulesets across several eras, but we’ll have to wait and see.
That all accounts for the 30+ cars and what we assume to be three new tracks, but the Q4 2026 pack is the most intriguing of all. Likely arriving before the anniversary of the game, the “Endurance Racing Expansion” looks set to bring a whole lot more in one hit including the famous Circuit de la Sarthe which hosts the 24 Heures du Mans.
New GTP and LMP1 cars are also to be added in this pack, though we don’t know how many yet. This could cover vehicles from IMSA-GTP like the Porsche 962 and Jaguar XJR-12, LMGTP like the Bentley Speed 8 and Toyota TS020, and the recent LMP1 era with the Audi R18 and Porsche 919. Notably the graphic originally also included the GTO class, but this has since been removed…
If you want the Year 1 Season Pass at launch, the bundle is set at a $/€30 premium over the standard edition at $/€99.99 (or $/€89.99 for the PC digital version). There’s no word yet on the standalone price for the pass nor the individual components thereof.
For those eager to try out PMR for themselves, there’ll be a public build available in Gamescom’s Hall 6 from August 20-24. We’re told you should look out for the massive tractor…
