Eye spy with my little eye. Something that looks like Algarve! Actually. Maybe Fuji Motor Speedway on second look.

Looks like Fuji speedway. Oh man please let this be true.

Because it is. The chicane + Mount Fuji.

It's very good news that they are expanding their Japan and US tracks.
Now show me some car teases

 

[VBR]

Does anyone know if they have laser scanned all the tracks this time around? I know Ian Bell said he was going to look into it for P CARS 2.

Would be great...Fuji Speedway + Super GT cars

In livery news, Bentley Racing replied "Noted" to this.

Nobody knows but I imagine this is very costly compared to gathering pictures. I think it's a fair guess to see more laser scanned tracks compared to the first game, but every track scanned is pushing it.

No chance. They'll gradually increase the amount of laser scanned tracks whilst keeping the track count high. How i'd prefer it was done.

Kinda scary that PCars 2 has revealed Fuji Speedway before GT Sport...

At least someone is going to put it to a proper good use, unlike GT, where you only race on it like once or twice.

My league had a few fun seasons with the GT500 on GT5 and it was great fun. If Project CARS can improve on the racing experience we've already seen, it will be brilliant.

 

[OooAhh Cantona]

If GT500's are added...

 

[jake2013guy]

Quick question as can't remember and can't find anything to say either way. Did PC1 have the Le Mans or WEC license?

EDIT: Don't worry. It was Le Mans.

While it was cool to use the V8 Supercar on the reimagined "Suzuka" course, using them() at Fuji will be epic!

Any word if the current FG X will be in the game? Also, the Commodore will be all new next year. Red Bull HRT are developing the car this year, for the 2018 season. Any chance SMS getting a head start and working with RBHRT?

They did have someone in negotiations with V8SC to get licences for either 2015 or 2016 cars, SMS confirmed the negotiations but haven't said anything about them since,

Strange, Ian Bell said it would cost about the same on the official P CARS forum, & that he'd look into it for P CARS 2. I guess anyone who actually knows something is under an NDA & can't confirm or deny at this stage. We'll just have to wait to find out the facts of the matter, I'm not interested in speculation or opinions.

If the costs were about the same, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't do it then. Seeing as we've already got many circuits, some may be done and maybe new ones.

I get the impression that more tracks now have point cloud data available to licensees, so the requirement to actually go to the track with your own scanner is changing over time. You still need photos for the modeling, though, but if the point cloud data is relatively cheap on top of the track license then this makes sense.

The tracks which are laser scanned would then depend on which of them offer the extra point cloud data. I'm pretty sure Motorsport Vision tracks from pCARS 1 were using the provided point cloud, and so pCARS 2 is likely to go further in that manner.

 

[jake2013guy]

The final one. Wow.


Audio recording as well.

 

[FLX1981]

Oh god. I hope its not just useless bla bla they are recording this time around.

 

[bleeder]

Oh god. I hope its not just useless bla bla they are recording this time around.

I just hope we can turn the subtitles off this time.

 

[jake2013guy]

Car has been identified as the Ford F150 Raptor.

 

[galaxyjack]

We need a car list thread for Project Cars 2. Put this car in first place

Nah, this time he'll just help you find your braking point. "Not yet, not yet... almost.... brake! brake!!! BRAKE!!! BRAKE GOD DAMN IT!!!".

Gotta love the teasers and reading the responses.
