Project CARS 2

Project CARS 2 is, overall, a success. There are a few elements of the game that we’d like to see improved in future, but it’s a great successor to the first in the series. The wide range of vehicles and tracks provide a range of accurate driving experiences, replicated to the finest detail using test drivers from real-life car manufacturers. The addition of Rally Cross brings a whole new element of the game too, especially for fans of drifting. While we couldn’t quite get the hang of the game with a controller, the experience with a steering wheel was thoroughly enjoyable and we can’t wait to get back behind the wheel once again!

Project CARS 2 plays like a pumped-up version of the classic TOCA Race Driver 3 from 2006, redressing many of the complaints levelled at the original. The handling has been tuned to a T, the content is excellently curated, and the amount of variety and racing available in it is delightfully daunting. Even if you don’t care about the developer’s esports aspirations there’s still a mammoth solo racer here that’s always ready to roll whenever you are. Now and then I’ll encounter a display quirk or a bug that may botch a race start, and the AI desperately needs a lesson in first corners, but when I’m out on track wringing ten-tenths out of my car against just the right AI level – one eye on the car ahead and the other on the clouds above – this is about as good as real racing gets right now.
