Project Motor Racing (originally announced as GTRevival) is a car simulator that serves as a spiritual successor of 2 well-known racing series representing this subgenre: GTR and Project CARS. It was developed by the Straight4 Studios team. Ian Bell is at its helm, who greatly contributed to the creation of both brands mentioned above. He started working on Project Motor Racing after leaving Slightly Mad Studios in 2021, which happened shortly after this studio was taken over by Electronic Arts.

Gameplay, cars, tracks

Project Motor Racing places emphasis on realism, going further in this aspect than Project CARS . The creators wanted to provide players with as authentic an experience as possible of racing various cars on famous tracks from around the world (including Bathurst, Monza, Nurburgring, Spa-Francorchamps and Zolder). However, they prepared optional assists for less experienced players.

The base version of the game includes 28 tracks from 18 locations and approximately 70 race cars, divided into categories such as LMDh, GT3, GT4, Group C, N-GT or single seaters from the 1970s. Particular recognition should be given to the iconic GT and N-GT class machines from the beginning of the 21st century - such as the Lister Storm, Aston Martin DBR9 or Gillet Vertigo - which were the stars of the GTR series games.

Career and other game modes

Project Motor Racing offers both single player gameplay and an online multiplayer mode. The pillar of the first one is an extensive career, in which we decide on the starting budget of our racing team (it's a kind of equivalent to choosing the difficulty level) and the location of its headquarters, and then we buy cars of from a given class and race them. We must take care of our budget, because travel and vehicle damage involve expenses, and in order to earn more money, we need to negotiate and nurture contracts with sponsors.

Engine, VR, mods

Project Motor Racing was initially developed based on Unreal Engine 5, but over time the creators switched to Giants Engine (a technology from Giants Software, which powers the Farming Simulator series). The change was largely dictated by the desire to provide the best possible service for VR sets. For this, they developed a new, advanced Hadron physics engine from scratch.

The creators also ensured full and comprehensive support for mods. Some of them are made available through a built-in "shop", where developers highlight the best content they have personally certified.

Project Motor Racing review: A full-price game that feels like Early Access

Project Motor Racing feels like a game in the very early stages of Early Access, rather than a title ready for its 1.0 release.

„You versus your wallet.” Project CARS devs discussed the career mode and announced the release date of their new game, Project Motor Racing

Although Forza Horizon 6 was delayed to 2026 (probably), the second half of 2025 will not be boring at all for racing fans. In the fall, the informal continuation of the Project CARS series - Project Motor Racing - will debut, which will feature an interesting career mode.

CGMagazine: 6 / 10 by David Walters

Disappointment is an understatement when it comes to Project Motor Racing. Vehicle control, sub-par graphics, and cost all contribute to the calamity that is PMR.

IGN: 5 / 10 by Luke Reilly

Project Motor Racing feels like an early access game that hasn’t actually been identified as such, and is simply not a better racer than its 2017 ancestor Project CARS 2.

Full Review

GamingBolt: 6 / 10

As a spiritual successor to Project CARS, Project Motor Racing takes a major step forward in car handling and environmental feel, but at full price, its limited content and lack of guidance make it an underwhelming experience.
