Project CARS 2 Features

Ian Bell of Slightly Mad Studios is back at it again in our forums, this time revealing some of the enhancements Sony’s beefed up PS4 Pro will provide for Project CARS 2. It makes for some exciting reading!

With less than a week until the release of Project CARS 2, Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed the Pirelli World Challenge will be coming to the game.

The boys at Slightly Mad Studios have provided yet more details on the online aspects of Project CARS 2. The news, covering esports and multiplayer options, comes courtesy of the last official live stream.

Slightly Mad Studios showed off more of Project CARS 2’s various online features earlier this week. The reveal happened during the team’s latest live stream, offering players their best look yet at what to expect next month.

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.

Project CARS 2 will include a series first by introducing live pit stops during races. As per a new blog post on the official game site, pitting has been vastly expanded since the first title.

One of Project CARS 2’s most talked-about additions is LiveTrack 3.0, a suite of environmental simulation features that make the circuit a dynamic, changing entity throughout the course of an event weekend. Earlier this week, developer Slightly Mad Studios revealed more LiveTrack 3.0 details to GTPlanet at E3.

Slightly Mad Studios has just released a trailer giving us a look at one of the most anticipated modes in its upcoming racer Project CARS 2 — Rallycross.

With a car and track list as good as Project CARS 2’s is shaping up to be, it’s looking like the online community in the title will have a lot content to race with. The latest reveals have included a brace of Nissan GT-Rs, as well as the relatively new Circuit of The Americas.

Thanks to a Q&A thread hosted here in GTPlanet’s Forums, with questions being answered by Ian Bell (the head of Slightly Mad Studios) along with The_American (the man voicing the in-game spotter), we’ve now learned about a few features that are planned to further evolve the Project CARS 2 experience.

Earlier this week, Slightly Mad Studios released new details on the “Online Championship” mode in Project CARS 2. This new feature allows players to create a league-style format championship consisting of several rounds. Players will have the ability to set each session’s details, along with the race duration, condition of the track, and schedule.

With the spotlight being shined on racing eSports events like the upcoming ESL Multi-Class Championship, it should come as little surprise that Project CARS’ successor will be featuring a driver rating system to help filter different players by their abilities in online races.
