GTRevival is now Project Motor Racing and we have even MORE!

Project Motor Racing is the next big Simracing title in development at Straight4 Studios, whose team consists of many former developers of the original GTR games and Project CARS 1 & 2. Their new game is said to be a full-fledged simulation again and we had the chance to talk to their studio head Ian Bell at an event in Silverstone where Straight4 announced their new publisher.

Glad they're focusing on a great single player experience, that's where I spend most of my time in!
As for the types of vehicle I'd like to see: 1990's Super Tourers! And the legendary V8 Supercars (from the 70's, 80's, 90's 00's)

Project Cars 2 was and still is my favourite sim racer and play it daily today. Really looking forward to this!

[rAiiPXH]

Sounds too good to be true. I'm very excited! 👀

I'm glad a former Stig finally addressed my biggest gripe with a lot of racing sims and sim games in general: Artificial difficulty. Many sims try and distinguish themselves by making controlling whatever vehicle it may be harder than it is in real life. You hear this a lot from real world pilots how if planes were as difficult to fly and land as they're portrayed in sims, we'd all be dead. Similar to what the Stig said about driving in the rain. There can be challenge, but it should be organic and as obvious as it sounds, realistic. Not forced just to have the title of simulation vs. game.

Really looking forward to this, the original Project Cars got me into Sim racing - can’t wait to see how this title turns out

[DjFIL]

It's always a "believe it when I see it" with Ian Bell titles. I really appreciate his perspective that you can't just focus on Multiplayer or Single Player, but it needs both. And really looking forward to possibly adding another game in my collection that brings some unique content (like AMS2 as example), instead of only focusing on the most popular with the masses content.

I just learned that this game is being worked on by a studio led by Ian Bell. He called me something similar to bollocks in his forum back when PCars were still on "Early Access" just because I need a guidance on why some things don't work certain ways for its confusing UI (not even reporting a bug). He's also known to hopping from project to project despite knowing the game isn't fully polished and could do some improvements. Because of him, it's all about seeing is believing for this one

[andygreener]

Championships from GTR era would be great as well as the 2009-2011 FIA GT1 series. Sumo GTR’s etc. absolutely epic machines

[ahicracing]

With Project Motor Racing and Assetto Corsa Evo both having iRacing in their sights as well as Rennsport kind of out in the wild it's an exciting time for sim racing.
Very interested to see what they will do on console as that could define the minimum shared capability for things like online multiplayer if console/PC multiplayer is enabled.

[Paplock]

It's a pity that the name GT Revival won't be there, but I hope that the essence of their roots will be the same as GTR 2 and Project Cars until part 2

[ryanblumenow]

"You need a great single player career mode". Fucking YES!

[motelghost]

It's very encouraging that someone like Ben Collins is involved because not only does he know real life race cars inside out, he is also an avid sim racer, so he understands the crossover.

[somecallmetim]

Sounds promising, I'm glad they are doing the physics engine from scratch so lets hope they get it right and if they allow mods this could end up being the sim of choice. So good luck to the Ian Bell and the team and please take your time and only release it when it's ready.

It's always good when a developer promotes VR.

[tdhitchins]

I've kept up with the progress of this game via twitter/X and am really excited by the thoughts that are going into this game. Hopefully it's executed well but all the right things are being said. VR is a bit thing for me too, so happy to hear of this. I also saw a feature on AI commentary, I believe for this game. I love that idea. It's something new, I'm sure you could disable it if it wasn't for you but I absolutely love the idea. It'll make your race much more interesting and you'll get a feel for what's going on. Also when watching your own replays back, it'll be more authentic and immersive if done right!

[shugghead]

Im pumped for this. PC2 is still one of my favorite racers despite its issues. Im hoping for more real road sections and alot of real world cars, not just race cars.

[s.baldrick]

I'm worried that this'll end up in development hell

[boijorzee]

Ben is right about how tyre models in sims are so often too peaky IMO. It's rubber on tarmac and in a lot of sims I feel like it changes suddenly to hard plastic on tarmac when breaking traction. But I guess for most people this feels more realistic so I've learned to live with it. Still I'm glad Ben worked on PC2 because it really still feels like a breath of fresh air to hoon around in that game. In the end it's a matter of taste really. It'll always be an approximation of some really complex stuff. And most modern sims get close enough.

[RonniePeterson]

Ian Bell is an incredible wonderful game developer who has never let anyone down and absolutely listens to customer feedback or at least that is what YOUTUBE insists I say about him.

[gijsje]

WOOOOw !!! Going back to a Project cars style game ?! 🤩🤩 I LOVED PC2 !! Did lots of endurance races on that game like the 24h of le mans, would be very cool to do it with the modern cars !!! Bring it on baby !!
