As you might expect, every car and track is as detailed as possible, which really helps with the overall atmosphere and immersion. Not all of them received the same amount of attention, as is the case with oval racing, but at least it’s there if you truly want to give it a try. Not only that, but quite a few disciplines are available too, including oval, dirt and open wheel. The same is true when it comes to the tracks, because all the classics are included in the base game, with notable mentions such as Red Bull Ring, Nordschleife, Imola, Spa and many others. Whether you like FWD hatchbacks, open wheel speed demons or fine-tuned GT3 cars, the game features over 180 vehicles to choose from. While the physics are far from perfect, Project CARS 2 deserves credit for the sheer number of cars and tracks that are available to you right from the start. A huge roster of cars and tracks to choose from
The same is true for setups, thanks to the inclusion of the Race Engineer feature, which allows you to change things about the car by simply telling the AI how you want the car to handle. The game is also designed to cater to both casuals and veterans at the same time, given the fact that there are quite a few driving assists you can activate if you find the game too difficult. In reality, the physics are a hit and miss most of the time, because although certain cars feel very grounded and fun to drive, others have very poor handling that makes no sense to a seasoned sim racer.
While the first Project CARS was pretty much a simcade for the masses, the sequel aims to challenge titans like iRacing, Assetto Corsa and RaceRoom Racing Experience, which is no easy task. Slightly Mad Studios promised a hefty list of features and improvements, including things like ultra-realistic physics, current-gen graphics with VR support, multiple motorsport disciplines and a full weather system, complete with dynamic weather changes and a realistic day/night cycle. Project CARS 2 is the long-awaited and incredibly hyped sequel to a rather disappointing first entry, which means that it had to deliver a truly game-changing experience to be taken seriously by the fans. A fresh contender on an already crowded scene In the end, if you are a true sim racer, then your library most likely features half a dozen titles at any given time, because it’s difficult to limit yourself to just one game. Hence, while iRacing is definitely the king of multiplayer, other sims offer better tyre physics, flashier graphics, or even more enjoyable force feedback. Granted, it’s almost impossible to tell which one is the best, mainly because so far none of the games have managed to excel in every regard.
The racing sim genre requires a very delicate approach nowadays, lest you find yourself assaulted by the fans of various established franchises.
