New Project CARS trailer makes its debut
Check out Slightly Mad Studios’ stylish racer ahead of its impending launch



Hi there guys, Andy Tudor here from Slightly Mad Studios. I hope everyone had a great holiday and New Year! Normally the holidays are a welcome time to relax with friends and family, eat turkey, celebrate over a couple of drinks, and watch some movies but there’s no rest for the wicked unfortunately – we were hard at work getting Project CARS ready for launch in just a few short months!

Having made the decision to get players like yourselves involved in the creation of the game right from day one, you’re finally going to get your hands on what we believe is truly the most technically-advanced, beautiful, intense and authentic racing game there’s ever been! YOU have tested it, YOU have guided its direction telling us what features, cars, tracks and much more to put in, and ultimately YOU have been approving it at every step of the way so that it’s truly the racing game of your dreams.

For those still wondering why they should get Project CARS, here’s a quick rundown of what to expect…

  • It’s got a huge variety of motorsports on offer. Our teams are based in over 18 different countries so cars and car culture all mean something different to us all. For me, it’s growing up in the ’80s with the Formula 1 days of Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna. For others it’s modern-day NASCAR, the German Touring scene, or European Endurance racing. So with Project CARS we wanted to ensure the cars in the game represented truly global motorsports with each of their rules and formats intact.
  • Project CARS has the largest track roster of any recent racing game: locations from all around the world from Australia to Dubai to Belgium, Japan, US West Coast, and the UK we’ve packed in over 250 miles of tarmac.
  • Lastly but by no means least, we’ve ensured that Project CARS is accessible, customisable, and tailored to each and everyone’s comfort and skill level with a huge amount of personalisation options. You can dial the handling to anything from a complete sim experience to something more casual. With Project CARS you’ll truly be able to make it your own.
But enough of me talking – check out our new trailer below to see what gamers like yourselves have been making over the last few years and why we’re all excited here for you to get your hands on it…
 
Dang it! This trailer just made me even more curious about a question I've been wondering:

TrackIR + PS4

Is it possible?

Obviously the hardware/software will be incompatible with PS4 but wondered if PCars has a built in feature for similar effects? I have the PS Camera so maybe it could utilise that somehow?

Any light shed on this topic would be appreciated :)
 
Hot damn. That is a slick trailer...I really hope the Wii U version won't be released too late from the March date for all other consoles. I'm intending on buying it for PS4 as well, gotta show support to Slightly Mad for releasing it for as many people as possible.
 
Sweet! Do you know how the DLC will be formatted? What will be free, and what will be paid?
There may be some one-off cars or tracks released for free. Paid, there were talks about having complete series (nascar, btcc, etc.) as a dlc package. Right now focus is to get the game done, so dlc thinking is not the priority.

That sounds awesome! It's a way better idea than most DLC packs. It's great that you guys are focused though. Considering what happened to other releases last year (ehem... ACU) when they made their DLC's before the game even released.
 
Oh god, please no. Dont wanna fuel no fires or cause wild speculations... And your sympathy values in the GT forum sections might suffer. :D
 
It all makes sense half of the vision gt cars are spaceships with wheels.
The moon buggy was just the start!
Just imagine it the "intergalactic endurance championships"
You could have corners around planets and moons chicanes between gas giants and their rings or moons. My mind is now blown.
Gran Turismo the real space racing simulator
 
Ehem... Back on topic, mmkay? Wait, what was the last topic before all this goofyness again? Oh yeah, DLC... Well, I m rather sure there will be a season pass, since SMS plans to support pcars with DLC for a long time. But no idea how much it will be. Considering we are already talking about 4-5 full blown expansion packs just looking at the cars that are already licensed but left to do (Touring, Historic GT, Historic Le Mans, Historic Formulas, Oval racing cars) plus tracks, the price for a season pass could be quite hefty.
