I have a small suggestion for the Wii U edition....
In Sonic and Allstars Racing Transformed, you can activate a rear-view mirror by tilting the controller toward you, as if you are looking at the controller. This was a really cool, useful feature, and for a game like Project CARS it could also work?

Just spotted an incoming problem. If there is no upgrade system or apparently no point-value system, how are the races going to work with a varied field of cars? Not one of the non-racing machine's performance is equal to another. I can see it now: a lobby where one class of car is allowed and everyone will use the same car because it would be suicide to choose another. Will they all have to be identical to level the playing field? That's sounds disappointing. 
I suppose a power limiter or a ballast system like in GT would help.

You will be able to add weight and modify the restrictors of race cars. And otherwise, at least in our Shift 2 racing league, the fast guys were fair enough to take the slower cars for some tight racing.

What car customization options will there be? So far, I haven't seen any.

Besides liveries - none, as far as I'm aware of anyway.

Yes to both. Original factory colors or "tuner style" liveries for street cars (like this one for example https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2855/13748868413_4662112d96_k.jpg ), 20 racing liveries for race cars.
As for the templates working on consoles: I suppose it will work cause if not that would be a huge bummer, but no idea yet how exactly.

Have release dates been posted for the various platforms (PC, PS3, Xbox)?

Sorry, no last gen consoles will see P. Cars.
The game has a projected fall 2014 release.

I'll like to ask a quick question. Will there be a possibility that we can choose cars for the AIs? 
@TokoTurismo -- I, too, have been wondering if you'll just pick a class/group, or if you can customize down to individual cars and colors/liveries (custom liveries?). Lots of potential replay value in a simple feature.

👍 I really hope it's possible.

I might be wrong, but I dont think that is planned, sorry. It would definitely not be a simple task, you would have to both design a clever UI way of selecting so many cars/liveries individually (remember: up to 64 cars) and it would involve a lot of coding time.
Also it would probably get a bit tedious to choose a full field of a multi class endurance race, each car individually and each livery (out of 20 per car) individually. No thanks, I ll prefer random.

We're not 100% sure how many cars are going to be on track in the console versions yet. The engine has yet to be finalised and completely optimised, so I guess the answer is going to be however many they can. As for the cars you asked about, that's down to the licenses, but I have to say that it's very unlikely that we will get those licenses on any platform.
The "clever UI" used by games with this feature is just a lobby-style screen, like I'm sure Project CARS will have for multiplayer.
In Forza Motorsport 4 you can do this on the multiplayer side, by highlighting an AI driver and changing the car. You can have completely custom "singleplayer" races that way.Considering this would allow you to recreate any historic race with the appropriate starting grid and liveries, or mimic races from future F1 seasons with custom liveries on the Formula A, or enact a fantasy championship with AI "teammates" in your own personal livery, I would be surprised if SMS are uninterested in providing such a useful feature. It's not like the option of manual selections should replace randomization, so it doesn't really matter if it would be tedious for some.
Even just the option of picking the car (no livery) would extend the life of the game. Randomized grids are soulless and repetitive by comparison, IMO.

I'm not really concerned about choosing each car individually, however your post does concern me a little. I would like to at least be able to choose which classes will be in the race (ex: Formula B and Touring Cars, or, Prototypes and GT, or, Road Cars and Formula A and Stock Cars) and then the game would fill the grid randomly, based on those criteria. Are you allowed or can you confirm if at least that option will be available?
All those licenses I highly doubt it, but at least one of them would be great. Ferrari, especially, has an amazing racing heritage and would greatly add to the field. SMS has done a Ferrari game before and maybe, even though I know that doesn't necessarily mean getting the license will be any easier, they'll be able to figure something out with the Prancing Horse for another project.

You will be able to chose "same class" as opponents. So you get a nice grid of Gt3 cars if you want.
SMS had nothing to do with the licensing on that game, it was negotiated and paid for by the publisher, Atari.
