Project Motor Racing – a car simulator from the creators of Project CARS and Farming Simulator
GIANTS Software, developer and publisher of the Farming Simulator series, has unveiled a trailer and announced the release date for the serious car simulator Project Motor Racing.
Project Motor Racing is being developed by the English team Straight4 Studios, founded in 2023 by people from Slightly Mad Studios, known for the games Need for Speed: Shift, Shift 2: Unleashed and the Project CARS series. In 2019, Slightly Mad Studios was acquired by Codemasters, which in turn became part of Electronic Arts in 2021. That's when most of the Slightly Mad Studios employees decided to start their own independent project.
And what do farming simulators from GIANTS Software have to do with it, you ask? Well, Project Motor Racing uses the GIANTS game engine, and GIANTS Software itself acts as the publisher.
At launch, the authors of Project Motor Racing promise more than 70 cars in 10 racing classes, including LMP, GT, GT3, GTE, etc., which can be tested on 27 carefully scanned racing tracks (it seems that we are talking about variations of autodrome, and not about 27 full-fledged tracks). Dynamic weather, day and night change, drying of the racing trajectory, a new physics engine and improved feedback for controllers are added.
At the end of the Project Motor Racing trailer, you can see five-time Le Mans 24 winner Derek Bell, who was involved in the development of the game.
You can try Project Motor Racing in a single-player campaign or in online races on Windows PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in the fall of 2025. Pre-orders are already open on the game's website.
