It has been more than 20 years since Ian Bell has lived only for the passion for virtual motor racing. Creative director of GTR and GT Legends, the founder of Slightly Mad Studios became known later with Need for Speed Speed, Shift 2 Unleashed, Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends and of course Project Cars, a franchise part of nothing that has been entitled to three episodes before the studio (bought by Codemasters in 2019). Not enough to discourage Ian Bell, who founded Straight4 Studios with other alumni from Slightly Mad, to start a new simulation under the sign of ultra -realism (and not very sought after titles). In 2023, the stars aligned themselves: Giants Software, the wealthy Studio of Farming Simulator, seeks to extend its activities by launching into publishing. Two years after this signature, Project Motor Racing holds its release date.
Sold 60 euros on PC and 70 euros on consoles, Project Motor Racing So on track on November 25, 2025, targeting an audience looking for a certain authenticity. “” As in reality “, This is what we hear throughout this video presentation of a career mode which is based on an economic system obsessed with the authenticity of mechanical sports. “” Your goal here is not to win all the races and there are no cars to unlock as a reward. You are against your wallet. Mechanical sports are not particularly fair and equitable We tell us.
After choosing the place where to install your team, which will influence the prices of cars and participation in the races, the player will realize that all the vehicles are available from the start, provided that they can offer them. “” Each sponsorship model offers a different model of financial support. Some will simply pay you a cachet for your presence. Others will pay your travel and repair costs, while others will require very specific results. »
« Victories, podiums and sponsors can keep your finances healthy, but the costs of travel and repairs will constantly cost you money, sometimes more than you had planned. And as in real races, you may have a surprise when you discover your pay at the end of the season. We are no longer in the 80s, and this one attempt at heroic overcoming in the first turn could sweep away your entire career in an instant. Be careful, it is professional sports sport. »
So here we are warned. In terms of content, we can expect more than 70 cars belonging to 10 categories, including LMDH and GT3. The game offers 27 circuits, with dynamic weather and complete day/night cycles.
Giant Software makes the mods rain
For its part, Giants Software insists on its contribution as a publisher involved: the full management of the mods from the launch of the game and this on all the platforms. A treat permitted by the experience of the Giant Engine in this area. Using the official GIANTS publisher, all the content generated by users can be submitted via the gate integrated into the game. Each mod will then be validated by developers before being available for download. “” Project Motor Racing relies on the same ultra-performance modding ecosystem as Farming Simulator. Race passionate modders will be able to adjust, modify and transform their experience as they please “Said Boris Stefan, sales manager and publication manager at Giants Software.
