Project Motor Racing

Having logged roughly 9 hours of playtime, I can confidently say that Project Motor Racing delivers a fantastic core experience. The game features a good selection of both tracks and cars, and the driving physics, tire modeling, and engine acoustics are exceptionally well-executed. My absolute favorite part of the game is the Campaign mode. It is fantastic to see that you can choose exactly how to start your racing journey whether you begin with 100k, 680k, or 2 million. This allows you to either work your way from the ground up or start immediately as a racing millionaire, depending on the career path you want to take. I recognize that the game had a very rough start, which explains why so many people are currently hating on it. While the community has voiced frustration over optimization, it is important to address the elephant in the room: the game currently lacks optimal performance, and these performance issues are noticeable. However, the developer's website explicitly states they are fully aware of these issues, and an update is already on the way to fix them. The foundational mechanics of this game are incredibly strong, giving it immense long-term potential. I have full confidence that the developers will continue to refine and improve the experience. If you love sim racing, this project deserves a genuine chance.

Hidden gem approved! Immersion, sound, and the racing feel are top-notch! CPU issues: The more AI you have, the more bugs occur (e.g., flickering, tire abrasion, overtaking). Fix: Limiting AI-driven cars to fewer than 20 solved all crucial issues and massively improved the experience. Rain: Visual rendering remains problematic. Collisions: Just Average. Clarification: Project Motor Racing gave me the best racing sim experience I ever had under certain conditions. I recently played AMS2, AC, ACC, ACR, AC Evo, rFactor2, RaceRoom, Dirt 2, etc.—just to name a few. I am fully aware that every other game is rated better on Steam. All tested in 4k. Version: 2.0.0.6

5060 and a decent PC and can’t even do a lap without it wanting to take off…

I would say first off the career mode is pretty fun. I do like the AI they are pretty competitive and I don't win every single race or get pole position very often. But, the penalty system really does suck. I have been pushed of track and lost time to cars behind and will still have to lift of throttle for more than 3 seconds, very annoying. You also just can't push hard at all, I look at replays and there are times where not even all 4 wheels go off and I would get penalized. But, great amount of cars and different racing series. But, another large negative would be online. I don't think this game is refined in any way for online. It feels like Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport, just very rambunctious system with meaningless points. I wish it had a bit more of importance because I love racing against other but it doesn't. No penalty for hitting others at all, damage system is kind of stupid, you can go through a car that is ghosted and still get damaged. There are a lot of flaws, but it has a lot of potential, I hope the game developers actually look at reviews and see what they can fix. Would still rather play this than iRacing any day.

This does not categorize in sim. It's a poor game in it's current state. Driving is souless, has no character and the feeling is totally off. You can not put it in the same category as LMU, Assetto Corsa (EVO and Competizione included), AMS2, RF2, iRacing etc. Even it's predecessor Project CARS 1 and 2 are miles better (when they where released). I can not recomend it to a preson who likes forementioned sims. What makes it really bad is that shifting bug. Time to time it shifts some two or three gears while I try to shift. It just jumps to the first (in worst cases to neutral) or last gear. And I did calibrate and remaped all the controlls. Right now it's just a mess of a game. Hope they can get on top of things.

Had a rough start, but has picked up by leaps and bounds! The team's commitment shines through with every patch, as bugs are squashed, graphics and performance are improved and the physics/handling reach new heights. Amazing job salvaging this from the trash heap and turning it into a legit contender for the crown. Still has a ways to go, but it's undeniably shaping up very well! Highly recommended

I bought the day one edition and I’m impressed! I held off getting due to its bad launch and tbh when I purchased it I didn’t have great expectations. I have to say it’s won me over big time. I have a decent Fanatec wheel set up and the game really shines with it, impressive FFB. So far I’ve been hopping into classic cars and blasting round donnington circuit. So a joy to drive. The VR mode looks promising too, works well wirelessly with my quest 3 and wired with my PSVR2. One small detail I like is that all the menu controls run through the wheel , no mucking about with a keyboard and mouse whilst in VR.

If you want to play crossplay (PC/console) it''s the one to have!

Game has improved a ton since the terrible launch. its actually drivable now and pretty fun. better with every update. the career mode is fun and makes you feel like you are actually earning something. AI scaling needs improvement... but overall, its shaping up to be a good game

Wait... This game is actually fun now. Why are people hating on it again?
