Too much whinging. Us Americans need some whining.

Eh...no? Imho there are some very nice corners in there, like the uphill right hander where the Suzuka hairpin would be. And I prefer the fast 45° chicane over Suzukas dead stop. I also like the reverse layout (forgot the name) with the downhill right/left/uphill right combo.

Where is the blind spot indicator.. ??
And why did the game hard crash on me ?? It never crashed before patch 3.0! (i know it is more common after 3.0 I read all the reports)

Old news... But why are there so many people with sticks up their 🤬 on the Project Cars Official Forum? Bunch of navel-gazing no-fun mopey types over there.

Career mode keeps making me race in Dubai. I find that track extremely uninteresting.
The Porsche is undriveable default.
Squealing tire noises should be much louder or adjustable. A loud engine noise may be able to drown out the sound of squealing tires but I can't hear them when I'm sliding around a corner with no throttle input.
Career mode is confusing. I entered a race without knowing which car I was driving.

What I hate is the lack of street cars, events for them and the strange, confusing and boring career mode. I've been stuck with Karts for ages. I want to race real cars.
Project Cars is great, but out of the box, it just does what Gran Turismo did for me after 200+ hours of playing and completing stuff. It's just a Quick Race and Hotlap Simulator.
Again, the car selection is horrible. For me at least, I'm only interested and use about 10% of the roster. And that's a bad when the game only has like what; 70 cars?

Perhaps if you're only interested in street cars you should have paid attention to the fact this game is first and foremost a racing simulator, and therefore will be mainly focused on racing cars.
I also don't see why you have a problem with career if it's just down to the fact you don't like karts. You can start the career in any discipline you want, you don't need to start in karts if you don't want to...
The car selection is small compared to GT or Forza, but small does not equal "horrible". It's got some amazing cars, and once the first year of dlc is out, there will be around 150 cars in the game.
Anyway, you're welcome to whinge about it, since this is the thread for it, I just don't understand what you expected if those are your problems. I would have expected all the whinging to be about the bugs lol.

I understand it's a racing simulator, but it is a car game for car enthusiasts too. Sure, some race cars are cool and fun to drive, but you got to have a balance between both worlds. Race cars and street cars are part of the same passion. Heck, without street cars, most race cars wouldn't even exist.
As for the list being horrible, I think what I meant is because of the very small number of cars; not the cars themselves.
And if I may ask; how do you choose to bypass Karts? I seem to have missed that option. Not that I completely hate them, it's just that there is way too many races involving them.

This, the myriad bugs, the performance dips, the crashes, the idiotic AI and the overt sense of seriousness are what drove me away from it. Say what you will about GT6; at least it doesn't have any of these issues. (Well, the AI is slow, blind and at times overly aggressive, but not near as much as pCARS.)

All I have to say is:
Graphics: Good at times, but very inconsistent
Physics: Apparently you can start braking midway through a corner and still make it (but still better than Forza 6)
Bugs: They're swarming this game
Variety: Decent track selection, awful car selection
Menus: Confusing af
Career: Intresting concept, but not a very good one
Overall: This game needs MAJOR improvements

The game was always meant to primarily focus on racing cars, and different racing disciplines, with road cars just being a small side dish so to speak. Don't get me wrong, we all have our preferences, I was just saying if you prefer road cars, you would have known this game wouldn't cater to you well before it came out, if had done some research. Forza 6 would suit you, or maybe wait for GT7.
As for the career, when you first start your career it'll give you a table with tiers that contain different disciplines. I think Tier 8 is the lowest, with karts, and they go through tiers that contain lower GT and touring classes, with something like Formula Rookie, all the way up to the top tiers with Formula A and LMP1. I can't remember exactly which series is in which tier, but you only select your starting point, and after that you can choose your contract from the offers you get at the end of each season. Contract offers will depend on your performance in each season.
I chose to start in karts because I love open wheelers, and wanted to do the "Zero to hero" career path starting in karts and going through all the open wheeler series' and then move from FA to LMP1 and win the title. I'm currently in FA, and have loved the career so far. Bugs are my only gripe with the game.
Anyway, my point is if you start your career from scratch, you can select any series in any tier to start in. You can even start right at the top in LMP1 if you want. But just a heads up - If you choose to start in a higher tier, you will miss out on a lot of invitationals, as unlocking each invitational event requires completing an objective, which in a lot of cases will be winning championships.

My gripe with pCars is that I can't be as aggressive on the brakes as I have experienced in real life.
I have done one outing on a track-day with a rented race car. What suppriced me the most, comming from GT6 at the time, was how violent I could be on the brakes. I could stomp hard on the brake pedal, and just bleed off the pressure gradualy. and if the car understeered in a corner I could get the nose pointing in a better direction by braking slightly to shift the weight more forward. So when I fired up pCars I was really hoping that I could jump on the brakes as I experienced on my track day. But alas, I had to be gentle on the brakes into the corner. But on the plus side I could use brakes mid corner to induce a bit of oversteer to get the car around the corners.
Disclaimer; I have only done one outing on a racetrack, and I could tell by the lap times that I am not a very talented driver. So my word is by no means gospel!

I don't think PCars is to blame here.
You can use the style you described in PCars if you have a good set of pedals (brake pedal for that matter).
My T500RS pedals (with Basher brake mod) did a fine job, but my new Fanatec V3's are another level. I can brake as aggressive as I want, within the limits what would be possible in real life.

So much this. I have V1s and even those are lightyears ahead of anything else I've ever used (Never used V2s or V3s, but I can imagine how good they are, as they're evolutions). With a load cell brake I can stomp the brake quite aggressively, provided I have set the car up well.
CSP for the win.

Did you check the leaderboard again after the next time you start the game? I believe it doesn't save laptime immediately/real time, but it's there when you load the game again. (Yes, would be nice if saved immediately.)

I did a lap yesterday and it never saved. Infact only one of my laps have ever saved and that was in a Formula A at Monza that I did yesterday.

Doesn't the game only save your times in Time Trial mode? Can't say I've ever noticed my quick race times being saved anywhere, rather annoyingly.Don't think I've had a single lap time saved since launch.
edit: I'm sure the community events times should save as well actually.

Don't think I've had a single lap time saved since launch.
I know it doesn't help you guys right now, but on the PC 3rd party apps like pcars profiler are really good for that. Is there anything for phones or tablets to get telemetry from the PS4?
Any serious race simulator really should have a very good time recording / management / save / export entirely under your control. When will devs recognise this?

Project Cars claims to be a serious race sim. But the effort hasn't truly been put forward to make it one. Project Cars 2 will be a serious race sim.

Before I would even think about buying Project cars 2 they will have to prove me that they can make first of all Project cars 1 stable .Project Cars claims to be a serious race sim. But the effort hasn't truly been put forward to make it one. But Project Cars 2 will be a serious race sim.
