There are gamers out there who play it with a controller very successfully but they’re missing the point of one of the best driving sims around. One caveat to the enjoyment of Project Cars 2 is you have to use a wheel. There are also cool point-to-point road courses, mixed-surface rallycross venues, ice-covered proving grounds, go kart tracks and a number of club-level circuits like Cadwell Park in the UK and Ruapuna Park in New Zealand. Again, think of a track you’d want to drive and it’s almost certain to be here: Bathurst, Nurburgring, Spa, Le Mans (old and new configurations), Hockenheim (ditto), Laguna Seca, Indianapolis, Daytona, Monaco just to name a few. Likewise, the variety of tracks is massive. Even without the DLC there is an incredible array of machinery available to sample it’s far too extensive to list here, but think of a racing category (Ind圜ar, Group C, Group A, historic F1, production cars, Rallycross, LMP1/2/3 and much, much more) and it’s likely to be represented here. Messages of concern to Simply Mad Studio on social media were not responded to but clearly taken to heart, as upon re-installation (along with a colossal 60GB of updates) Project Cars 2 is the racing sim it should’ve been from the start. As an avid fan of the original Project Cars I bought the sequel as soon as it came out only to be left disheartened by weird handling quirks: the Lamborghini Huracan would power oversteer wildly and uncontrollably in every gear and the GT3 race cars would spear off the road at high speed, just when you’d expect downforce to stick them to the road.Īssetto Corsa Competizione review: Blancpain GT racing on PC

My initial experience wasn’t so pleasant. Wheels are supported and, to be frank, are a must. Visit the Project Cars website (for the required PC specs.

Virtual reality is supported with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift and triple-screen is also supported for PC users. Project Cars 2 is compatible with Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and Playstation 4. PC2 has been around for a while now, but thanks to running updates it’s still a cutting-edge racing sim that’s a perfect stepping stone for gamers looking for something a little more serious than Gran Turismo Sport or Forza Motorsport 7.
