'Project CARS 2' (ALL) Fun Pack Expansion Details

by Rainier on Nov. 27, 2017 @ 8:31 a.m. PST

Project CARS 2 aims to include the largest track roster ever with 50 unique locations and over 200 playable tracks – and introduces ‘loose surface’ racing with dirt, gravel, mud, and snow courses.

Project CARS 2 features an expanded roster of over 170 cars and 60+ tracks, brand-new fan-requested Online Championships game mode, and additional racing disciplines – including ice, dirt, snow, and mud racing – over its critically acclaimed, ground-breaking predecessor (Project CARS). All of this racing action can be presented at up to 12K resolution graphics (achieved through linking three 4K PC monitors together to present a panoramic driver’s view) with VR support, making Project CARS 2 the most immersive and technically advanced racing simulation experience.

Passion for motorsport is embodied in the fan-requested multi-class racing that allows drivers to compete in a field of multiple car classes which replicates the world’s most famous endurance racing championships, past and present. Whether its iconic cars from the golden age of sportscars, modern prototypes, or GT3, all classes of car can now race together in either single or championship mode as Project CARS 2 scores the driver’s position not just overall, but also in-class.

Capturing all the thrills of motorsport means drivers competing in any car, anytime, anywhere, off- and-online, against both in-class competitors and other classes too.

Feel the adrenaline rush as you close-in fast on a GT race car in the coldness of night at Le Mans in your Le Mans Prototype; scan your mirrors on a wet day at the Nürburgring as a Porsche 911 GT3 R monster bursts from the fog and cuts past your Renault Clio as if you were standing still. This is motorsport in Project CARS 2.

Live the joy of dirt racing on every surface with the Fun Pack, the first of the planned expansion packs for Project CARS 2, available this winter. The “Fun Pack” will come with two new tracks and eight new cars, all designed to bring sideways-action fun to Project CARS 2.

Strap in tight and experience 3 of the most brutal and dangerous cars in motorsport history that astonished a generation of rallycross fans at Brands Hatch Rallycross Historic circuit in the late-’80s.

Adding to Project CARS 2’s already impressive line-up of rallycross content, the fan favourite Circuit De Barcelona-Catalunya Rallycross will encourage drivers to get into some seriously crazed drift angles. Challenge world championship winners Matthias Ekstrom’s and Petter Solberg’s for an all-out top speed.
