Hi everyone,
Been playing this game for quite some months, probably one of the reasons why i have been so away from PES recently but i think its worth sharing since we all love sports and competition.
Project CARS as the name says is a Community Assisted Racing Simulator being developed by Slightly Mad Studios the developers behind the Need for Speed: Shift and Shift 2 but without EA backing them up this time.
The developers have a long history in the racing simulator world having worked on some of the most fabulous games of the past years, GTL, GTR Series, Need for Speed Shift Series, PGR and many more, so they decided that this was the time to make something that would be the game to beat in the next years in every way, visuals, gameplay and quality.
With Project CARS this is different, they want you to participate, you are essential to the game development, your constructive ideas are welcomed. For example, if you live near some important race tracks they may even ask for your help to get reference images or if you have a car that is ingame they may ask you for input on how it looks or feels in comparison with reality, they care about your opinion and your suggestions.
This is something that may seem a dream or exagerated but it isn’t, there has been alot of changes made into the game that only happened because the community said so, members constantly test the game and give feedback in order to improve the game and the reason why this is possible it's because the community is the one funding the game, we support the developers and in return they give us constant feedback about the game progress and show that our opinion matters, we are the "big company" behind them and we are the final users!
PROJECT CARS represents THE ULTIMATE DRIVER JOURNEY...
FRANCHISE MODE allows you to carve out a personalized career starting in the Karting world and then progressing on to whichever motorsport specialization you prefer including Rally, Touring Cars, Open-Wheel, GT, Le Mans, and many more!
Play CO-OP with a friend as Driver/Co-Driver
FULL TEAM MANAGEMENT... Have a large number of friends? Create, manage, and compete together!
Experience the excitement of PIT STOPS like you've never seen before!
Revolutionary PIT-2-CAR RADIO gives you the strategic advantage
DYNAMIC Time Of Day & Localized Weather make every race unique and challenging
10+ GAME MODES covering every form of motorsport
CLOUD-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK allows you to connect with friends, compare times & scores, compete and challenge each other, and share content
USER-GENERATED CONTENT - Create your own liveries, decals, tuning setups, and even events! Then share them with the world - either for free, in-game credits or even real money!

For a long time unfortunately we have been used to be in the dark when there’s a game in development, we can’t comment, give opinions or receive a feedback from the developers about our ideas and thoughts on the game until it’s too late and the game is out. And when we request for support or give our opinion, they will give none because the big company behind them wants them to make another bad quality game quickly and completly ignore the communities.What does Community Assisted Racing Simulator means?
With Project CARS this is different, they want you to participate, you are essential to the game development, your constructive ideas are welcomed. For example, if you live near some important race tracks they may even ask for your help to get reference images or if you have a car that is ingame they may ask you for input on how it looks or feels in comparison with reality, they care about your opinion and your suggestions.
This is something that may seem a dream or exagerated but it isn’t, there has been alot of changes made into the game that only happened because the community said so, members constantly test the game and give feedback in order to improve the game and the reason why this is possible it's because the community is the one funding the game, we support the developers and in return they give us constant feedback about the game progress and show that our opinion matters, we are the "big company" behind them and we are the final users!
The concept they have is the following:What will it be the plan behind the game ?
