I’m always up for a new racing game with real-life cars and tracks, especially when it’s not something overly niche like motorcycles or trucks. Project Motor Racing comes from the studio known as Straight4, a phoenix studio of sorts, comprised of former members from Slightly Mad Studios, the makers of the now-defunct Project CARS series. Over the following years, the studio went from being a competent Need for Speed developer to the owner of its own racing IP, a team that went slightly ma...

When EA acquired Slightly Mad Studios through its Codemasters acquisition in 2021, I was filled with a deep sense of foreboding. Sure enough, a year or so

In addition to Farming Simulator, Giants is also trying something new, specifically simulation racing.

Project Motor Racing is launching as a full-priced game, but with all the technical issues and glitches from the Giants Engine, it feels more like an Early Access release. An interesting idea for a career mode is overshadowed by poor performance.

Project Motor Racing should not have been released at this stage, period. Maybe the rush and potential of the Christmas market was too much to resist, who knows. Still, somewhere deep down there is the framework of a promising car simulator here, but it definitely needs another year or even two of development time to reach that point.

Project Motor Racing feels like an early access game that hasn’t actually been identified as such, and is simply not a better racer than its 2017 ancestor Project CARS 2.
