Just so I'm clear though; no matter what build I have I can play that build 24/7 if I want as long as I have a web connection correct?

What I don't want to do is be on a schedule where I can only play when the dev team allows.

Ah, no theres no limitations. Only issues we had so far were related to servers being down. But lately it hasnt happened again.

You will be able to play whenever you want, mp for now is still under internal testing but it should be out soon :)

Builds can only be playable with a connection to the internet, limit to 1 account per PC.

You can have more than 1 account per PC as long as you keep them in separate windows user accounts.


About the E8600: the game will be playable with it, although you really need a quad to run it properly.

My main gaming rig would have no issues I'm sure but I'd want to play this on my htpc. Maybe I will look at a new video card and cpu upgrade for that PC.

This is no doubt a real live Sim...I think this Sim has the potential to have the potential to do both and be a top notch Sim and Hi end gaming fun loving time.
AS for the wheel statement, you have to tune the wheel or else you may and probably will have issues(this is because its a Sim) ...I really dig this on my MoMo wheel on my rig.

LOL.....funny how I have no issues with any of my PC sims:slap:

True but theres no plans to add Scion FRS. It is also one of the least voted brands also by the community.

It will be in 2013, Q2 or Q3 if nothing goes wrong.

Currently you can participate in the pre-alpha if you want to support their work.

Project CARS celebrated 1 year of development today and shown us an amazing new video made by Jonz a community member!

I :love: pCars

"Precisely one year ago, Slightly Mad Studios launched World of Mass Development and the first game that would make use of the innovative new crowd funding portal – Project CARS.

During the past 12 months, more than 80.000 members have joined WMD, helping Project CARS to become the quickest-developing racing title on the market.

When WMD launched on October 11th 2011, members got access to a very early development build of the title, featuring a handful of cars and tracks and a basic racing mode.

Since day one, five new development builds have been made available to our members each week, bringing the total number of builds released to 321.

The new builds have added exciting new features each week as since then, Project CARS has been equipped with a fully dynamic time of day & weather engine, extensive multiplayer support, a brand new force feedback & tire physics model among lots of other improvements

The title’s content has been expanded broadly as well as over 26 cars and 36 tracks are already available in Project CARS. Several high-profile car manufacturers have joined the game as Project CARS will feature vehicles from manufacturers such as BMW, Ford, Briggs Automotive Company, Classic Team Lotus, Gumpert & Ginetta among others.

The key philosophy behind WMD is to involve all members deeply in the development of the title and our member base has proven to be the backbone of the project. Our members have so far pitched in more than 1.6 million Euro of funding, allowing Project CARS to be developed independently without a publisher.

Aside from providing funding, daily testing of builds and providing an endless stream of bug reports, our members have contributed to the project in a variety of ways.

From creating more than 50,000 stunning screenshots and uploading more than 7000 Project CARS videos to Youtube and hundreds of user-created car liveries, each WMD member has found a way to contribute to the game.

Members have also helped to collects thousands of reference photos and other data, assisting our developers in making Project CARS the most realistic racing title on the market.

Thanks to the initiative of some of our members, Project CARS will feature content that has never been available in any other title before, including the Formula Gulf series and the legendary Solitude race track.

To celebrate the first anniversary of Project cars and to show off the amazing creativity of the WMD community, JonZ has made the stunning video trailer you can enjoy above."
