US Race Car Pack Now Available in Project CARS

The US Race Car Pack is now available for Project CARS in a continual effort by Slightly Mad Studios to keep the WMD-powered game feeling new with monthly content.

This month delivers an all-American cast of racing machines, ranging from the Le Mans-winning Corvette C7.R, to the pinnacle of American motorsport found in the form of the Dallara DW12 IndyCar.

First up on the list is the 3.6 liter V6 twin-turbocharged Cadillac ATS-V.R that made its debut at the Pirelli World Challenge Series. Next is the no-frills Ford Fusion Stock Car new for 2016 that’s packaged with cutting-edge technology, such as a fully digital dashboard system. The final two on the list are the Corvette C7.R with a 5.5 liter V8 that took home Chevrolet’s 8th 24 Hours of Le Mans victory in 2015, and finally the Dalara DW12 which can produce up to 700 horses from its mid-mounted 2.2L V6 turbocharged engine.

To recap, the cars included in this month’s pack are as follows:

  • Chevrolet Corvette C7.R
  • Dallara DW12 IndyCar
  • Ford Fusion Stockcar
  • Cadillac ATS-V.R GT3

    All n all this pack is pretty meh IMO.
    The sound of that Corvette just might be worth the price of admission though.

    Since I paid the $5.49 will I get some sort reinbursment, not that I’m looking for one, just wondering.

    Beautiful DLC, as the C7 is my ‘california dream’ car at the moment.

    I can’t believe it’s only $5.49! This is less expensive than a McDon’t Trio that I see hoardes of unemployed illegals buying every day with money they don’t even have!

      Although I’m with you on the quality of the DLC, I find the rest of your comment a little disturbing to say the least…

    Why would the free car be from a manufacturer that we already have cars from? Instead of being the Caddy or the Vette we get a free Aston to try out, absurd. For a game that is on a terrible european slant, you would think that they would have one American car for free to celebrate the DLC but no you put a bloody European car. It’s like thinking is not the marketing department strong suit. What’s with that $5.49 price, it’s not even a track pack I’m not buying until that gets fixed.

      Why is that a surprise to anyone? PD has always been terrible about doing updates. They’re slow, and they’re rare. Not to mention GT6 is on a dead console and it’s 2 years old. I’m pissed off that they showed those Bugatti and Hyundai VGT cars and still haven’t put them in GT6 if ever, but other than that, GT6 is done and dusted

      What we need is updates on the GT Sport Beta. Not GT6. GT6 is as done and over with as the console it’s on.

    2. MrWaflz55

      GT6 isn’t forgotten, it’s now considered finished. If you haven’t been living under a rock, then you’d know that the two left-out vgt’s that were announced are coming to PS4

    3. Johnnypenso

      If you weren’t living under a rock MrWalfz you’d know that the VGT’s, all 30ish of them, were supposed to be in GT5 and within a single year. Fans get kind of bitter when they don’t get what they are promised and then find out they have to buy another game to get what was promised to them for free in the previous game.

    These DLCs are totally unfair. I wonder how much this game will cost in the end. I hope GT Sports is released soon, and then I will definitely forget this game.

    1. TomBrady

      $5 for 5 cars is unfair? What world do you live in?

      Getting monthly content at a great price is unfair?

      Getting cars that people actually want to drive WITH INTERIORS is unfair?

      No, what’s unfair is Kaz’s lies about monthly DLC for GT6, only for us to get garbage VGT cars with no interiors once every month or so.

      $5 is chump change. I’d pay $10 for this rather than the way other developers handle DLC.

    2. beseiden

      And what about the monthly free cars? Without spending a cent, we get 12 cars a year. And what cars. The price is very fair, when I go out to dinner and movies, I spend much more. But it all comes to what you want to do with your money. :)

    3. Divaldo

      I live in Brazil, my friend. The game here costs 150 Reais (bluray) if I purchase all the DLC it will cost me almost 120 Reais.

    4. Divaldo

      Lotus Classic 22,9
      Aston Martin 16,9
      Audi 11,99
      Carros Japoneses 10,9
      Limited Edition 10,99
      Old vs New 10,9
      Bentley 7,49
      Track 16,9
      Renault 10,9

    5. Allek

      @Divaldo: why does it cost you $16,90 (reais) for the US Race Car Pack while I payed $7,00 (reais) for it yesterday? I don’t get it.

    6. FS7

      The problem is that the US Race Car Pack costs US$3.49 on XBL and US$5.49 on PSN. SMS & Bandai Namco are aware of the issue but we don’t know when the price on PS4 will get fixed.

    7. Allek

      Sorry, I thought prices were the same on all platforms. I play it on the Xbox One. I find it interesting that Microsoft Brazil is converting dollars to reais in a 2:1 ratio, despite the exchange rate being 4:1.

    8. SavageEvil

      @TomBrady Still complaining about GT I see it’s affecting your eyesight too, there are 4 cars in this pack and no track so $5.49 is excessive it should be $3.49 like the other DLC with only cars and no tracks. Corvette, Caddy, Dallara and the Fusion…4 cars, no courses either.

    9. Johnnypenso

      If it’s excessive don’t buy it. Do you go to Walmart and cry and complain because that cool stainless steel toaster that looks like it belongs on a spaceship is too expensive? Buy what you can afford. If you can’t afford the price of a couple of cups of coffee for hours worth of additional game play stick to the GT series…it’s all free.

    10. SavageEvil

      @Johnnypenso The Xbox DLC is $3.49, so the PS4 DLC was overpriced and has been fixed. No business gets free money, screw that they have enough tax loopholes they can pay their lawyers to take advantage of, I can’t. Lol.

    11. BMfan

      Hey Divaldo,I’m with you here about the DLC,in this game and others.
      I worked something out last night,when the i bought the game(disc version)i paid R600(South African currency),the game started with 65 cars and 30 unique tracks on disc.
      The total DLC cost R734 from steam and it gives 48 cars and 6 unique track locations.

      If you break it down,each item on disc cost about R6 a item,that excludes menu design race set up and implementing weather.
      The DLC cost R13.50 an item.

      I doubt i will forget this game when GT Sports comes out but it seems like game developers are glad to say if you want DLC then you must bend over and i unfortunately have,i bought the last pack only really for the Corvette.

      EA have just admitted that they make $1.3 Billion Annually From Extra Game Content.

    It’s not that SMS can’t develop A.I. that wont behave on an oval. It’s that they want to save it for Project Cars 2. IMO
