News Ruf CTR3 added to Project CARS in latest weekly build update

Ruf's CTR3 mid-engined super sports car makes its Project CARS debut, in this week's build update for the closed beta racing game.

Current crowd-sourced members of the Project CARS community will, as part of Build 668, get to drive an early version of Ruf's current flagship road car model in the game.

With the inclusion of the CTR3 in Project CARS, half of all the Rufs that will appear in the racing game upon release (as part of the licencing deal) are now in active builds of the game – the first, the Ruf RGT-8, has been in the pCARS beta since Build 417 was released in March last year.

Project CARS Build 668 also brings with it several new features and fixes to the in-development title, which have been detailed in the list below:
