It's been a long time, but Project CARS' hotly anticipated November launch is nearer. And now, just to make its final release feel more tangible, publisher Bandai Namco has announced pre-order details and a special Limited Edition of Project CARS.
Presented in a suitably swanky-looking steel case (seriously, I'm a self-confessed sucker for steelbooks as my blu-ray collection will testify) with exclusive artwork and four striking sleeves, the Limited Edition will contain a behind the scenes book entitled 'Project CARS: By Racers 4 Racers' filled with backstage material detailing how the community became involved in shaping Slightly Mad's next-gen sim racer with its groundbreaking WMD crowd-funded initiative.
As with most racing game limited editions, Project CARS will come bundled with five additional cars available to drive in any game mode and with special one-make series career invitations.
