I am playing on a 3570K with a GTX 980 and run at 4K all the time to take screenshots. No, it's not running at 60fps but it's fast enough to not be a problem for that purpose, in all weather conditions and a full grid of AI. That's with everything set to Ultra, in-game Downsampling (equivalent to DS2X in pCARS1) and SMAA at Ultra. It only becomes unworkable, for me, at DS4X equivalent downsampling but, that's not surprising, given that it will be trying to chuck 7680 x 4800 at my screen 
I haven't tried 1080p for more months than I care to remember but, the last time I did try, it was smooth as silk.

Relieved to hear that as I only have a GTX 960. I think it should be sufficient for 1080p if that's the case.

960 is kind of bad, so don't assume it will do 1080@ultra settings at 60fps.
Going from 980 or even a 970 to a 960 there will be a big perf gap.
But my gtx 670 had no problem what so ever with PC1 at 1920x1200@ ultra if I remember correctly.

I'm runnng AMD FX 8370 CPU with 12GB Ram and GTX950 supporting 4 monitors. Hoping that I will at least get equal to what I have now in pCARS, and perhaps even a bit better thanks to their optimizations.
The GTX 950 is definitely my "bottle neck" at the moment due to the lack of VRam (it's only got 2 GB DDR5).

It also lists 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 3700 as minimum, so I'll need to get a new CPU since my 3.2GHz i5 4460 won't be able to run PCars2.

Got an original copy of Indianapolis 500 as well, came with my Soundblaster Pro... and yes... that booklet as well with history that you need. A need way of game copy security.
My first wheel was a rubber band wheel by Dexxa in the late 90's. Still had manual calibration as it was a gameport wheel and not USB, but the calibration died. Bought a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP after that and still have that, than a G25, a T500, CSWv1, and than the current CSWv2.
Project CARS 1 was already done right but maybe as incomplete in certain areas, but it laid down a solid foundation to build upon. With that sorted the first floor of the building is really looking pretty nice. I am already looking forward to the next floor... Project CARS 3... and try to imagine how it will look.
I was shopping today at MediaMarkt (a European Best Buy) and had to visit a few times actually. Each time there would be people playing Project CARS 1 with a controller on a computer they have there, men and women alike. It's really great to see the first game still get so much attention now, and with the positive responses at E3 I can't wait to see what the public responses will be like. I mean that of Joe Average and not the die-hard sim racing critique that you can find everywhere online who are often biased to their favorite game anyway.

Will check that minimum spec again. I'm running i5-3570k and an Nvidia 1060, game runs smooth at 1080p

To me, GT Sport is a case that proves what Ian said about demos. I was half interested in the game before the beta came out (only half because we already knew it'd be pretty limited), and I knew a few people who were interested in it, but knew nothing about it really. Once the beta was out, there was suddenly a million videos showing what it was like, and right away I, and others I knew who were interested in it, suddenly knew it wasn't going to be interesting to us. If the beta for GTS never came out, I know of at least 6 people personally who would have likely bought it, who definitely won't now (at least not at full price. maybe when it's 20 bucks). GTS' beta, IMO, likely will have cost PD a lot of sales. I know tons of people will still buy it, but so many people were on the fence about that game, and I bet a large number of those will have been turned off by the beta, which doesn't look very impressive (apart from the graphics and photo mode).
Well the view outlined by Ian generally supports the business decision from a developer stand point, however customers it works against us.
Also I think one can make the argument that in the short term not offering up a demo/open beta may be beneficial to the developer, but what happens if customers come in an buys your product only to be disappointed? Usually disgruntled customers are the most vocal, and that negative PR spreads much faster than any positive marketing material or promo video.
Now in the case of PC1, I think most can agree (from my own limited experience) and from comments around the web they have to win over some disgruntle customers and prove to them that out of box experience is much improved. What better way to get this done by providing hands on proof that you have sorted out the major complaints of your prior version?

I think people posting recorded or live streamed videos of them playing are probably more effective than demos as it allows people to get a fairly good idea of how the full game is without buying it. Plus I'm sure shipping out a few early copies to more well known YouTubers is quite a bit cheaper than a full demo.

LOL, I know that you mean, most of the D4 videos were pure crap.
I would love to see this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/jimski10 get this hands on an early access. He was not so positive about PC1, even returning to it later after the patches but overall he seems really unbiased, and just a fan of sim racing.

About buying a game and being disappointed versus playing a demo and being disappointed. If you play a demo and you don't like it you aren't going to buy the full game as the demo didn't satisfy you. If you buy a game and have complaints about it most people are much more likely to still keep the game and wait for updates and see how it pans out.
Solid reason to be on steam, I think MS is introducing something similar to xbox where you get ~1hr play time and can return it if you don't care for it. The more power us as consumers have, the better end product we will be receive.
True and I agree with you, I think it really comes down to are you the developer (business owner), or the consumer? As a consumer and a business owner I can see both sided. But most times I am the consumer and as a consumer choice is always better.
Think about any purchase you make in your everyday life, 9/10 times you try out the product (just a rough assumption, don't kill me here
) before opening your wallet. With the exception of services, food and other intangibles there's usually a try before buy or an option to return for full refund. Why this is not the norm in the gaming world? I have no idea
