FAQs

Why was Project CARS 2 removed? ›

Project Cars will be removed on October 3rd and PC2 on September 21st. Games will be removed due to expiring car and track licenses. Thank you for the heads up!

AC may look like abit lifeless but the Ai/CarChoices/Physics/ForceFeedback/VR implementation is just abit better then in Pcars 2. The only thing which is better in Pcars2 is the Weather/Time System. For me Pcars2 feels like a Game,AC more like a real Simulation.

PC2 is by far the more serious game – if you're looking for a simulation game where you can race in a similar manner to real racing, then this is the one to choose. If you're more of a casual gamer, then PC3 is more fun to spend blasting around in for an hour or so.

As for the AI you can really set it to as easy or as difficult as you want. On the easiest settings you can lap almost every other cars in only a few laps. In the first game it was a slider from 1 to 100 so you could really find the sweet spot for you. The difficulty comes more from the driving than from AI racers.

It is also the last mainline instalment in the Project CARS series, as future development of the series was cancelled by Slightly Mad's owner, Electronic Arts, in November 2022.

However, in November last year, it was announced by Electronic Arts – which owns Slightly Mad Studios' parent company Codemasters – that all future development on Project CARS was being halted, effectively cancelling the next instalment.

One caveat to the enjoyment of Project Cars 2 is you have to use a wheel. You have to. There are gamers out there who play it with a controller very successfully but they're missing the point of one of the best driving sims around.

I have driven both of these tracks quite a bit and I can tell you that the Project CARS versions are disturbingly inaccurate. Every time I turn a lap, my brain is confused about the track I know vs. the track I'm presented with.

When focusing on the main objectives, Project Cars 2 is about 26½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 97 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The two games have somewhat different aims: Forza Motorsport 7 is a pick up and play racing game for the mainstream, whereas Project Cars 2 is a simulator game, favouring realism and difficulty. This makes Forza stand out in terms of immediate enjoyment.

Is Project Cars 2 accurate? ›

It has its moments and some aspects it simulates well, others not so well, but it is second to none in making you believe you are actually racing in a real car/track and not just playing a game... There are many options for realism, Pcars2 is one of them.

“Cars 2” overcompensates for those “Get off the fast track” mid-life crisis musings, but does so in an often funny and action-packed “James Bond goes racing” comedy. They turn more of the story over to the comic relief, the dopey tow truck Tow Mater, and get a sillier, more kid-friendly movie out of it.

Fortunately the multiplayer servers are still live so PC2 limps on without corporate support, but it has lost some online features like downloadable setups and online hotlap functionality. There's a ray of light for PC2 fans, though - former Slightly Mad Studios CEO Ian Bell's working on a new game, GTRevival.

EA announces an end to Slightly Mad Studios' Project CARS franchise EA announces an end to Slightly Mad Studios' Project CARS franchise. Slightly Mad Studios' Project Cars franchise is ending as Electronic Arts prioritizes other racing franchises with live-service potential.

Cars 2 is about silly spy games splashed around a flimsy false premise. We don't see the story of Radiator Springs post-fame. We don't get more issues with Lightning McQueen and his lack of appreciation. Instead, it's like a totally different movie, like an Incredibles follow-up focusing on Jack-Jack's babysitter.
