Project CARS puts you in the role of a racing driver, choosing from different motorsport disciplines, cars, and circuits. Its career lets you begin in karting or another entry-level series and pursue higher-tier championships and invitations.
Race in championships or set up individual events, with cars that handle differently according to their setup and conditions. Tune vehicles and manage pit stops as you compete.
Changing weather and time of day affect the track and driving conditions, making races unfold differently. You can race solo or take the competition online in multiplayer.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the distinct feel of the cars and the challenge of realistic driving, especially with a wheel and pedals. They also praise the changing weather, broad selection of cars and tracks, and career progression through different racing classes. Some describe the handling as difficult to learn, and opinions on controls and race AI vary.
