Archief - Project CARS

Slightly Mad Studios is proud to announce a new partnership with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, organizers of the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, that will allow gamers to experience the world’s biggest motor race in Project CARS.

Players will be given the unique opportunity to tackle one of motorsport’s most daunting and challenging tasks, a high-speed race twice around the clock at day & night, rain or shine.


Project CARS will be the first racing game to properly simulate all the aspects that make the Le Mans 24 Hours one of the most challenging racing events in the world, as gamers will be given the chance to run the event in real-time, facing a full grid of 55 opponents on track.

On their way to the top spot of the podium, players have to dodge GT traffic at high speeds and fight the elements as Project CARS dynamic time-of-day & weather engine makes the virtual race twice around the clock every bit as unpredictable & challenging as the real event.

To ensure we capture all the essence of the legendary race in Project CARS, our development team is aided by no less than three race drivers that competed in last weekend’s edition of the event:

While Rene Rast and Oli Webb successfully raced each other and 16 competitors in the LMP2 class, finishing 3rd & 4th in class, Project CARS Physics & Handling Consultant Ben Collins was busy in the GTE class. Their experience will translate directly into the game, allowing all gamers to share the thrill of competing in this legendary event.

First run in 1923 as the Grand Prix d’Endurance, the Le Mans 24 Hours have become one of racing’s crown-jewel events as no race driver career is complete without a start at the French classic.

For more than eighty years, the world’s most famous manufacturers and drivers have been flocking to central France each June, trying to make their mark on this prestigious event by proving both the superior speed & reliability of their cars.

Project CARS will feature a true to life virtual version of the Circuit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Using a mix of permanent race track and closed public roads, the track’s 13,6 kilometer layout poses a unique challenge that is unlike any other circuit in racing.

One of the circuit’s most distinctive features is the legendary Mulsanne straight. A public Route National for most of the year, the six-kilometer stretch of road turns into a slipstream battleground each summer as prototypes reach speeds of more than 340 kilometers an hour on the legendary “Hunaudieres”.

Going along with the track will be plenty of machinery that has shaped the history of the event, including Audi’s extremely successful 2002 Audi R8 & 2011 R18 TDI prototypes as well as Ingolstadt’s newest creation, the Le Mans race-winning 2014 Audi R18 e-tron quattro.

The popular LMP2 class is represented by two cars as Project CARS will feature both the Alpine A450 LMP2 as well as the ORECA 03 LMP2, representing more than 80% of this year’s LMP2 grid within the game.

Project CARS will also honor some of the race’s most legendary cars as players will be able to experience Le Mans legends like the race-winning 1978 Renault Alpine A442B, the 1990 Mercedes Benz Sauber C9 Group C car & BMW’s 1999 V12 LMR prototype.

To celebrate the addition of the Le Mans 24 Hours, Gaming Nation UK will be running a virtual 24 hour race for charity using Project CARS. To find out more about their event and to donate to the worthy cause, make sure to check out their JustGiving page.

Project CARS will be coming to the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Steam OS, WiiU & PC, starting November 2014.

Nog één jaar en de licentie van NFS op Porsches eindigt. Dan krijgen Gran Turismo en PC eindelijk ook de kans deze te maken.

Ik denk dat 'met max 16' racen een fabeltje is. Er is gewoon geen ontwikkelaar die voldoende resources in ontwikkeling wilde steken. Je gaat me niet zeggen dat met wat meer geld F1 2013 gemakkelijk 22 spelers op de grid kon plaatsen.

22 racers die vlot op dezelfde track racen? Ik ken niks van gameontwikkeling maar de PS3 hardware is gebaseerd op hardware van 2007. Ik denk niet dat max 16 spelers een fabeltje is qua PS3 mogelijkheden. Meer zal wel mogelijk zijn maar ik denk niet echt dat je er tevreden zou over zijn op de PS3. Ik weet niet hoe het juist zit qua mogelijkheden op PS4 hardware maar ik hoop dat meer dan 16 spelers deze keer wel mogelijk zullen zijn.

Project CARS has a huge career mode spanning multiple disciplines. The seasons in the career mode are exactly the same length as their real life counterparts, as are the races themselves. However, they can be scaled down if you wish. The career mode has no endgame and you are never forced to drive a discipline you don't wish to. Open wheeler fan? Go for it! Kart racer? Sure thing Everything from GT cars to old school group A touring cars to modern DTM and BTCC cars feature in the game from release, with more disciplines like oval racing (with modern and vintage stockcars as well as indycars) coming afterwards. Not that competitive? No problem! Invitational events will be scattered throughout your calendar, inviting you to test drive cars, take part in manufacturer track days and parade history’s finest machinery in vintage special events.

Your career will start with you choosing absolutely any discipline you like, everything is unlocked from the start. You sign a contract and begin racing with that team. At the end of the season you'll get offers from other teams, in other disciplines of motorsport as well as the motorsport you're currently in. For example, if you choose to race a Ginetta G55 in the GT4 discipline and did well in the season then you will get offers from other teams within that season, but you will also get offers from GT3 or touring class teams if they are interested in you. You have absolutely no obligation to take any of these, you also have the option to continue your contract with your current team and dominate that one discipline for as long as you like.

Everything from manic kart sprint cups to the incredible multiclass World Endurance Championship will be available to you. Start at the bottom and work your way to the highest tiers of open wheel racing, or change your mind halfway through and compete in something different.

Project CARS will be released in November 2014 on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and WiiU

As well as the career mode, Project CARS will also feature an extensive solo mode. Playing here won’t affect your career progress, and everything the game has to offer will be available to you. Cut your teeth in practice mode, a laid back session of unlimited length on any track you wish with any car you desire. Get experience and learn the track, feel it get grippier as your tires lay rubber onto the track. Give yourself a challenge with a thunderstorm at midnight, ragging a thoroughbred race machine through any of the 40+ locations around the world. Crank up the time acceleration to 240x and watch an entire day/night cycle pass you by in 6 minutes,

Season mode will give you dedicated events to drive with, ranging from minor trackdays to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Your pit engineer will help you deal with the environmental changes as well as when your brakes or tyres are overheating, when you’re gaining/losing on an opponent and other race related information (he’ll be present in every mode ) and compete against fierce AI for points and glory.

Quick Race Weekend is where you have complete control. Set the weather, time of day, amount of cars on track (up to 64 on PC, 16-32 on console) and all the other options available to you to get the perfect racing experience. Make a quick 1-2 lap frenzy or go all out with full pre race practice sessions, qualifying and a 2 race setup. Take the GT3 cars out for an endurance race around the Green Hell or get technical with some Caterham Classics on one of the four kart tracks(not including different layouts).

Project CARS will be released in November 2014 on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and WiiU
