Project CARS 2

Project CARS 2 is a circuit-racing simulation where you take the wheel across a range of motorsport categories, from GT and endurance racing to IndyCar, oval racing, and rallycross. You can follow a career path through different series or set up individual races. Choose from a large selection of cars and tracks, then adjust vehicle settings such as tires, brakes, and gear ratios. Different cars handle differently, and assists can be adjusted to suit your preferred level of challenge. Weather, time of day, and track surfaces can change during a race and affect how cars handle. The game also supports VR, steering wheels, and gamepads, with options for solo and online racing.

Drive a wide range of race cars, build a career across motorsport series, and race through changing weather and track conditions.
