Project Motor Racing will hit the track in fall 2025 with 70+ vehicles from 10 racing classes and 27 track layouts. 

From today’s radical LMDh hypercars to iconic legends from motorsport’s rich legacy, each car is meticulously recreated and licensed from the world’s top car manufacturers like Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and Audi. 

Each class has been curated to ensure definitive grids of motor racing heroes from today and yesterday, from LMP to turn-of-the-century GTs, from today’s GT3s to 1970s sportscars. With action packed 4-class racing across 27 scanned, global tracks, Project Motor Racing is a motorsport-first simulation.

From sim racers to first-time racers, Project Motor Racing boasts game modes for everyone: from Single Player Career Mode to in-depth Online Racing, from fun leaderboards to packed Full Race Weekends. 

An immersive racing experience will put drivers into the cauldron of a racing cockpit with visible G forces, heat-haze, braking forces, and dirt, alongside sound design that captures motor racing’s true ferocity. “True2Track” will allow racers to experience the authenticity of every track with dynamic weather conditions, adaptive racing & drying line, and a 24-hour day/night cycle. 

Circuit Zolder, barely 60 minutes east of Brussels and hidden among the poplars and greenery of Limburg province, is the antithesis of Belgium’s other motorsport icon, Spa-Francorchamps, which has always imposed its shadow over Zolder’s fortunes.

Where Spa sprawls across the Ardennes in all its regal splendour, Zolder folds 4.011 km (2.492 mi) of asphalt into a tight, claustrophobic amphitheatre on land that was a hunting reserve until the traditional post-war appetite for motorsport ended up with the crazy idea of building a track that would lure the best drivers in the world.

To make that work, officials hired none other than Dutch engineer John Hugenholtz (famed designer of Suzuka and Zandvoort) to thread a ribbon of track through the trees and valley, and the track opened its doors in June 1963.

From then until the early-’70s, Zolder hosted mostly regional and local series … right up until the mid-’70s when fate came calling because—of course—big brother Spa was in trouble.

The Legends Comes Calling (and Leave a Forever Scar)

When Spa’s original 14-km public road course was deemed too dangerous, the Belgian Grand Prix needed to find a safer, permanent venue. And so, while Spa was defanged and declawed, international motorsport found a new venue at Zolder.

The circuit’s mix of medium-speed bends and flat-out kinks was seen as a safer alternative to Spa, and its layout produced some quirky winners through the years—not least Gunnar Nilsson’s only F1 win in 1977 under monsoon rain.

Zolder’s GP stint though is forever marked by the tragedy of 8 May 1982, when Ferrari’s golden boy, Gilles Villeneuve, tangled wheels with Jochen Mass during qualifying. Gilles, who was on his way to the championship that year, has a bronze bust that watches over the chicane that bears his name to this very day—an eternal reminder of the sad events of that day in May 1982.

A couple of years later, with the pitlane becoming an issue and the circus becoming ever more professional, the GP circus returned to the rebuilt Spa, leaving Zolder the difficult task of reinventing itself.

The 24 Hours of Zolder: de Remschijven!

Zolder’s reply was to nurture its own unique 24-hour cult. First run in 1983, the race mixes GT3s, viral factory entries, and clubman BMW Cup cars in one crazy, loose-limbed grid guaranteed to offer some close rivalries. Locals camp trackside grilling braadworst long into the night, and the winner’s trophy—a polished cylinder of brake discs (aka “de Remschijven”)—carries some, uh, weight for those able to conquer an enduro race that has provided some indelible moments through the years. (Not least that time in 1997 when a Volvo 850 estate {yes, wagon} tried to qualify for the event with tailgate as makeshift wing!)

Chicanes, Kerbs and Tweaks

The nature of the track is about rhythm, braking finesse, and minimal margins. The important turns are:

Terlamenbocht: A flat-out right-left flick; exit kerb decides whether you rocket onto the back straight or bury the car in gravel.

Eerste Eenvoudige Linkse: “First simple left” in name only; you brake lightly while the car’s still dancing from the preceding kink. Nothing simple here. Not even the ride into the scenery if you mess it up.

Villeneuve Chicane: Post-’82 right-left added for safety; ride the sausage kerb hard to gain tenths or hesitate and become a sitting duck for the brave and committed chasing you.

Bolderbergbocht: Zolder’s bravest corner, a full-commit right-hand sweep under the footbridge (prototypes may require a sanity lift). Stand on the bridge and it’ll take you no time at all to figure out which drivers are there to win, and which are there collecting a paycheck.

Legacy in Miniature

Zolder will never steal big bros Spa’s thunder—but you know, it’s too cool to even try. It’s motorsport in concentrated form: accessible, intimate, gritty, and unapologetically old-school. Sixty years on, the fences may be higher and the TecPro thicker, but Zolder’s soul remains: a compact theatre of speed where fans still hear V8s echo through the birches and smell brake dust mingling with Belgian frites.

Zolder is a forever reminder why smaller stages can still produce the loudest dramas.

Sacramentsheuvel: Innocent in the dry, treacherous in the wet when puddles gather on the camber.

Project Motor Racing will also feature sim racing’s newest physics engine, built from the ground up. Running on the GIANTS game engine, it delivers unmatched handling realism at 720Hz, with more natural, non-linear throttle control alongside precise FFB taken directly from the tie rod, and out-of-the-box peripheral optimisation.

And with the “Factory Driver Program”, every car’s handling is painstakingly tested and approved by the world’s top racing pros to assure authentic handling precision. 

Pre-orders are available now on selected channels – including the bonus GTE Decade Pack that features 7 extreme examples of high-performance cars racing in one of the most thrilling and competitive classes in GT racing history.

Project Motor Racing is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 25, 2025.
