We want Tourist Trophy 2! Also... for Project Cars 2 to not be ridden with bugs when it releases!

 

[Blkout]

That car is amazingly fun to drive in PCARS 2. You all are going to love it.

 

[CMGARAGE]

I can see this concept really blowing up for them.

 

[Davide Nativo]

Already Pre-ordered the damn game! I couldn't help it. I know PC1 was meh, but it wasn't too bad. I had some fun with it. Plus this suppose to have much better VR support (Picked up an Oculus Rift on the sale month) then PC1 which was ok, but not great in VR. I hope PC2 is a least better and more fun in VR for Simcade racing!.lol

The VR is incredibly good this time around, plus this paritcular car is an absolute blast to drive, and anyone who drives the release version and expects simcade will get a shock !

So you say that pCARS2 is not a simcade like the first version? Is it somewhere near AC?

Instant death if you roll that car

Or some side impact, where you get another car on your lap.

'Project CARS to'
wondering if this is a type or just tongue in cheek

 

[mopro]

Seems side impact on driver's side could seriously injured the driver. I'm sure the production version will looks different.

 

[adrian pozuelo ruiz]

"ENGINE PROBLEM!!!"

 

[kkdrummer]

The beast in action. It does look great and fun!

 

[JPL083]

Everywhere safety this safety that... Great concept and would be a blast and thrill to take it for a spin, but i guess people want to ruin every single point of great difference and fun from this life, everything gotta be the same, dull modern world. It's like Bentley in Gt3's. Why it's there? It's big, it's all wrong and blaa blaa... While it's difference make's it great, and it's actually the only one representing the original meaning of Grand Tourer. Modern weardness... It's like this, only one representing a car like bike... Cool. But put tubes around... It's Ariel Atom, put seat in middle... It's Bac Mono. Put seat in the back... It's Caterham.
