Summary
Project CARS is a landmark racing game. It succeeds as a focused and uncompromising thoroughbred racing simulator that bridges the gap between PC and consoles, representing motorsport at its most raw, most intense and most visceral. This is the complete package for the hardcore racing enthusiast that will keep you racing for months, and possibly years to come. If you consider yourself a racing game fanatic with a passion for motorsport, you’d be slightly mad not to take Project CARS for a spin.

NewsSlightly Mad Studios has released the first of what promises to be several free car downloads for Project CARS: the Lykan Hypersport, which can be accessed right now on PSN, and presumably XBL and PC.

NewsOur latest Project CARS Playstation 4 gameplay video follows a gruelling 10 lap race in the Ruf RGT-8 GT3. The action takes place at Silverstone with the AI set at 100% difficulty, with all racing assists turned off and using a racing wheel. The action starts off very frantic with AI cars jostling for position – […]

The Driver Network features several different categories, right now I'm am focusing one of of these […]
NewsWith the much anticipated release of Project CARS this week comes the obligatory limited edition. Available exclusively at GAME here in the UK, the Project CARS limited edition steelbook has been sold out for several months on PS4 and Xbox One, so expect to pay sky high prices on ebay – some sellers are already […]
NewsThe recent severe storms in Sydney, Australia, have caused flooding in some areas. One such area was the very warehouse that Namco Bandai chose to keep their stock for the PC version of Project CARS. Needless to say, these copies suffered severe water damage by the floods. Due to this event, Australians and New Zealanders that […]
NewsBeing a thoroughbred simulation, Project CARS is a demanding driving game for PS4 players more accustomed to DriveClub, so newcomers would do well to apply the assists. But it's not quite as simple as that: Project CARS' customisation is crazily comprehensive. There's the usual array of options for wheel users to adjust the force feedback […]

NewsThe coastal California highway track is one of the most visually stunning tracks in Project CARS.

But therein lies the appeal […]

NewsFormula Fords, or Formula Rookies as they're known in Project CARS, are an ideal entry point to the world of single seaters in Project CARS, but they're still tricky to tame, requiring smooth inputs and straight-line braking to keep them under control as they have a tendancy to spin out. Add 35 cars on track […]
NewsAs a showcase of its visual prowess, DriveClub's day/night transitions continue to impress. But guess what? Project CARS can do day/night transitions too, and it doesn't disappoint. Indeed, Project CARS accurately simulates the perils of racing with limited visibility as darkness falls: if you want a way to test your knowledge of the circuit, this […]
NewsIn many ways, Project CARS is a unique entity on console. While many of its selling points are expected in PC racing simulations, it's a rarity to see a racing game run at 60fps on console, let alone allow for up to 45 cars on track at once. Likewise, we're used to having the option […]
