Get ready to rev your engines! Project Motor Racing, the new sim-racing title, is poised to take the gaming world by storm. It's developed by many of the same talented people who brought us the underappreciated Project Cars 2. This new title promises a captivating experience with its impressive car and track selection, coupled with a realistic career mode. The gameplay trailer is already making enthusiasts eager for more.
The video itself is straightforward: an onboard view of a Saleen S7-R battling a Chevrolet Corvette C5-R and other modern-classic GT cars at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (formerly known as Mosport). While a single clip offers a limited glimpse, the choice of cars and track is spot-on. The visuals and audio are also incredibly impressive.
But here's where it gets exciting: The car roster for Project Motor Racing, while not extensive yet, boasts a fantastic collection of vehicles from racing history. You'll find modern prototypes like the Lamborghini SC63 and Aston Martin Valkyrie, GT3 cars such as the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) and Mustang GT3, plus classic gems. Think of the Saleen and Corvette C5-R, alongside the Audi R8 LMP900, Porsche 911 GT1-98, Lola T70, and Mazda 787B, among many others. This variety ensures a thrilling driving experience.
The track list is equally enticing, featuring legendary circuits like the Nürburgring, Spa, Zolder, Silverstone, Lime Rock, Sebring, Bathurst, and Kyalami. And the developers are planning to add even more tracks.
Project Motor Racing appears to strike a balance between the more accessible arcade-style games like Gran Turismo and Forza, and the hardcore simulation experiences of iRacing and Assetto Corsa. This could be a game-changer! Also, it's worth noting that the game will be available on PlayStation and Xbox, in addition to PC, broadening its reach to a wider audience.
The game is scheduled to launch on November 25th across all platforms. For $89.99, you'll get the game and a DLC pack featuring late 2010s/early 2020s GTE race cars.
