Full racing simulator without compromises.
This year, with a partner, we are spoiling, we also go to the largest game fair.
The upcoming Project Motor Racing is one of the most anticipated racing games until the end of this year. Therefore, when the developers announced that they would show their title in the playable form on Gamescom this year, I could not miss this opportunity.
Race from the team of veterans
Immediately in the morning, my steps at the exhibition in Cologne were sent to the Swiss Swiss company, which became famous for the series Farming Simulator. In addition to the new expansion for the last episode, its Farmer’s Simulator, the company on its Showfloor offered only the upcoming Project Motor Racing.
There were three schemes from which I chose the version of the famous Nürburgring GP.
The game was created in a relatively recently formed Straight4 studio, which is headed by Jan Bell, a veteran of racing games from the position of the founder and boss. In the past, he signed a contract with two parts GTR Series, GT Legends and Need for Speed: Shift or under the Project Cars brand. After the notorious end of the slightly crazy studio, which Codemasters paid for the purchase and its subsequent sale Electronic Arts, Jan Bell decided to create a new Straight4 studio.

Then Bell pulled into his team some experienced developers from slightly crazy and code. Together they decided to create a full racing simulator that will try to build a GTR series and the first two parts of design cars. Giants software provided the publisher as a publisher.
A genuine simulator
Directly on ShowFloor, the playable version of the PC game was presented on several racing plasties, accompanied by high -quality monitors and steering wheels and pedals from Logitech. There were three schemes from which I chose the version of the famous Nürburgring GP. From the point of view of the fleet, the authors proposed a relatively diverse composition of the vehicle that contains modern special offers, such as Lamborghini SC63 (Hypercar) and Aston Martin Vantage GT3. They were supplemented by old Le Mans and GT cars, such as Porsche 911 GT1-98 and Audi R8 (LMP900). The original Audi Special since the beginning of the millennium has been exhibited right next to the game stations.
The authors are clearly aimed at Orthodox fans of racing simulators.
For the first acquaintance with the game that I chose in terms of speed and control relative to the friendly Aston Martin Vantage GT3. However, after several moves, I immediately realized that when the authors talked about the full simulator in their materials, they certainly did not overdo it. While designing vehicles or GTR series around Yana Bella tried to offer realistic experience, referring to a wider group of players, U Project Motor Racing is clearly aimed at Orthodox fans of racing simulators who are currently spending time on games such as Iracing or Assetto Corsa.

The maximum emphasis on realism, physics and a believable processed driving model means that you definitely need a steering wheel and certain experience with the games of this genre. Nevertheless, it should be added that during the game I could not change the settings of the game in the field of complexity and driving assistants.
Therefore, it is possible that the full version in this direction will offer settings even for less experienced players. The version presented at Gamescom, however, required complete accuracy in the control, switching, braking and adding gas, to which I had to get used to for some time. Any insignificant error immediately meant rotation or awakening. In short, no assistants will save you.
Rich content and contradictory visual
Unfortunately, I could not judge other important functions, led by game modes and artificial intelligence. The tested version offered only the training mode when I circled alone. In any case, the developers promise to offer a traditional career regime and multiplayer online. There is also an interesting fleet, which is to connect more than 70 cars from different stages of history. The authors devote the main emphasis on special races. The number of licensed tracks should exceed twenty, which is also higher than the standard.
The environment and car models look quite difficult.
However, if I was disappointed in the tested version, this is a graph that has that the authors are present in various trailers, in fact relatively far. If the situation does not change significantly as a result of the full version, it is definitely impossible to expect any visual throw. Especially the atmosphere of individual tracks and models of cars looks quite difficult, which suggests that most of the power necessary for a smooth run of the game is busy with complex physics and a driving model. Rather, contradictory graphics is also accompanied by a weak view.

The playable demonstration of the Project Motor Racing confirmed me in the impression that this is a racing simulator with a full regime, which is trying to clearly achieve Simracing fans with its content and gameplay. This group of players can definitely turn to the new Straight4 studio and cause relatively peaceful waters of this genre. Nevertheless, fans of arcade names who prefer a gamepad instead of a steering wheel and pedal will probably have to look somewhere else.
The Project Motor Racing was released on November 25 on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
