Project Motor Racing Car And Track List: Everything Confirmed So Far

Ahead of a planned deluge of information on 29 April, we're keeping track of the cars and tracks heading to upcoming racing sim Project Motor Racing.

The title's being developed by Straight4 Studios, a new outfit headed up by Ian Bell, the former boss of Project CARS and Need for Speed: Shift developer, Slightly Mad Studios. It looks set to return to the motorsport roots of Project CARS, with the latest confirmed vehicle continuing the theme of left-field GT racers.

Based on the teaser pic unveiled by Straight4 and a social post mentioning an N62 BMW V8, it looks like the Morgan Aero 8 GT, a racing version of Morgan's early noughties crack at a modernised version of its traditional sports cars. It'll join another British bruiser of the same era, the TVR T440R, among the confirmed cars for PMR.

PMR looks set to eschew the modern sim racing obsession with present-day categories like F1, Hypercar and the ubiquitous GT3. Instead, it’ll have a throwback focus on what many would argue is the golden age of GT racing, the 1990s and 2000s (although other, non-GT classes are set to feature too).

The Straight4 team has some experience here, as many of them also worked on the two GTR games in 2005 and 2006, official titles of the FIA GT Championship. The studio has confirmed that this era in particular will influence PMR, with the game getting a dedicated 2004 and 2005 GT racing class.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, the title looks to be focusing just as much on some of the more obscure underdog manufacturers that competed in this era as the big budget factory entries. Similarly, the confirmed track roster so far looks to avoid going down the obvious route of massive ultra-modern Grade 1 circuits, instead going for some comparative deep cuts. Here are all the cars and tracks we know will feature in Project Motor Racing so far.
