Project CARS - The Full Story

This is the somewhat tumultuous tale of the Project CARS racing game franchise, born from passion and endeavour, but ultimately falling by the wayside just over a decade later. With exclusive insight from Slightly Mad Studios founder Ian Bell, we dive into what went right and what went wrong for the series, including its innovative Weapon of Mass Development (WMD) profit-sharing scheme and its EA takeover. Whether you’re a fan of the series or not, the Project CARS series undoubtedly showed a lot of ambition, with SMS’s MADNESS continuing to power Automobilista 2 to this day, replete with a genre-leading VR experience. And now, fans can look forward to squaring the circle of the Project CARS universe with the impending release of its spiritual successor, Project Motor Racing. ------------------------- Read All About Project Motor Racing here - https://traxion.gg/category/games/pro...
