I love the historic reproductions of Rouen-Les-Essarts and Hockenheim in this update. Perfect tracks for the classic Lotus collection.
Oh, neat; the old Hockenheim course. I always wanted to try that.
Oh boy oh boy… gonna be good. Old Hockenheim, Rouen and Silverstone in period detail too.
File under “Shameless self-promotion”.
If you are into this type of classic track and car combination, here is Rouen les Essart circuit for GT6. Searching my name in the track database you can also find Reims, Caen, original Spa (10k limited) and Paul Ricard.

I don’t see this car pack in the PSN store yet.

Nice but it does remind me that we’d all be screwed with Jack Spade. The default FFB is still bad but when you punch in Jack’s FFB settings pCars is up there with AC and RF2
Interesting mix; the 38 is an oddball with a great engine, the 40 a bit of a pig (or was it just fragile?). The 25 and 51 represent an extreme light-weight, “low power” philosophy that doesn’t really exist in competition any more.
Rouen’s a great circuit, too.
And to think the day the HTP livery for the Bentley GT3 gets released… Bentley releases HTP of their GT3 contract.
I knew it would just be a matter of time until SMS started releasing the classic tracks they made for “Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends”. That game has a bunch of great old tracks. Can’t wait for the old Imola.
Pretty cool looking car to be honest.
You had me at classic. Sold!
Rouen plus Lotus cars = must have :) Gonna play this to death
Tempting, but I’m not interested.
Agreed, il skip this one
Ha ha! But Obelisk, you don’t own Project CARS Ha Ha
That’s the point, Manny. The DLC makes me want to get PCars, but I can hold off on that.
Really amazing stuff for this awesome game!
Have to say that I am à bit jealous of the pCars players with this released cool content
Join the fun.
