Turned down low, you'll win every race by a minute or so, but dial it up and your opponents won't relinquish a tyre's-breadth to you, resulting in some viciously enjoyable races. As it should be.Īnd the "enemy" AI is exemplary. Take a Pagani Huayra out for a few, brisk laps on the same track, though, and it's immediately a different story -it's twitchy, bipolar and frankly a bit hairy.

Crowd funded by developer Slightly Mad Studios, backers were invited to get on track throughout the game's alpha and beta development stages to play, feed back and criticise, but most importantly lay down masses of telemetry for the coders to analyse.Īnd whether through this exhaustive crowd-sourced testing, smart development or serendipity, the handling is pretty much perfect. ![]() This is Project CARS big, big win and almost certainly a result of the game's unorthodox development cycle. This is where you'll first notice that you get punished for leaving the track, but more of that later.īefore races you can spend as long as you want setting your car up, and there's even a handy tyre saving option, so if the heavens open in a British Bank Holiday way, you can nip into the pits and just thumb a pre-saved wet tyres option. And similarly, you can lay down a couple of hot, qualifying laps before tapping out.Īlthough, be warned: we laid down a stonking, Hamilton-esque wet lap of Road America to apparently bag pole, only to find that the track had clearly dried out a lap or two later and our hot lap was suddenly 40 seconds tardy and we were shunted to the back of the grid.īut hell, we knew the risks. ![]() Choose your career division and you'll be thrown into full, weekend race meets, consisting of an authentic (long) itinerary of two practice sessions, two qualifying sessions and two races, the second longer and requiring a mandatory pit stop and tyre change.īut you can essentially dip in and out of these as you please, so you can skip practice sessions entirely, or run through them in "simulation" mode.
