About the Game

Project CARS is a racing simulation similar to the Gran Turismo , Forza Motorsports and GTR FIA Racing series. Different to those titles the game does not offer initial content where the player has to race and earn experience to perform upgrades and additional cars and tracks. Instead, all of the content is available right away and players can race in any mode, class, car and on any circuit immediately. Similar to games like iRacing and Assetto Corsa it offers very detailed customization where players can fine-tune almost any aspect of the cars, but contrary to those two titles there is not only multiplayer racing, but also a full career mode with offline races against AI-controlled opponents.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Optionally various assists can be enabled to simplify the gameplay. The game includes a large amount of racing circuits from around the world as well as a number of fictional ones and also point-to-point races. Online multiplayer is not done through matchmaking but through playlists curated by the developer. Next to regular races it is possible to challenge other players to time trials. CARS from the title is an acronym for Community Assisted Racing Simulator , which reflects the game's development.
