You have complete freedom to start at any level or race category you choose, but the real fun is had if you decide to take the zero to hero path. Fans of the series will be familiar with how this operates, but for the uninitiated, the career mode allows you to create your own driver profile and enter the world of competitive motorsport. The main attraction in PC2 is the life-like handling and the career mode. But if you take it slow and gradually build up the pace, your lap times will plummet, apexes will be nailed and you will find yourself enthralled with what Project Cars does best and this is how PC2 is designed to be enjoyed. If you’re not used to these concepts, it won’t be uncommon to find yourself locking up and spinning out of control on almost every corner you attempt. That means spending time getting to know the track and the car in practice sessions, using the detailed tuning options to tweak setup and shave vital seconds off your lap timings and finding those limits on track before taking on the race proper. You will get the most out of the title by embracing everything motor racing offers. It’s worth mentioning that it is not a car collecting game, it is a proper simulation of the real world of motorsport.

Project Cars 2 focuses on the intricacies and nuances which make the world of motorsport unique. On paper and in practice the features are incredibly impressive, and culminates into a seriously serious sim racer. There’s also rallycross and ice racing, LiveTrack 3.0, day/night cycles and dynamic weather. There’s also 4K, 12K (triple screen) and VR support on the PC, plus PS4 Pro and XboxOne X support. To come good on this promise, Slightly Mad Studios have included 189 cars, 63 different track locations with 146 available layouts.

Project Cars 2 returns bigger and better than ever, with a simple promise of delivering the ‘Ultimate Driver Journey’.
