This has always confused me - why, when the majority or motor racing circuits are clockwise, would the driver be on the outside of the car? Wouldn't it be better to have the driver's weight on the inside of the car as it were? Would also have thought it would be easier for the driver to place the car too

You work out the car balance with driver weight in it so not an issue. Vision is never a deciding factor in race car seat position, some of the cars Ive worked on you have no idea where the bonnet or wings end!
The only reason we can work out is that the same car gets sold worldwide, if they were in both LH and RH the stock would mean you need to carry both.

I was just on an event with one of the guys who has been helping develop the feel of the cars.

I've never been so late to a party, but never been so excited at a launch!

Awesome... Remember running some of the multi-class racing on Forza with some of PHers for longer distance stuff, proved great fun so hopefully there'll be some PS4 owners that will be game for doing a similar sort of thing! PH GT3 endurance series perhaps...

PS4!!

Been seduced by the dark side have we??

Play Project CARS this weekend.

That sounds pretty good. However...

They say you'll be able to play it with all cars and tracks unlocked. Which is great, of course, but then why is there no list anywhere (that I can find) that actually states what these are? I don't get how we can be this close to release and STILL have zero idea as to exactly what cars and tracks come with this game on release day.

I mean, if I've missed it then I'd actually enjoy being wrong here, but it's certainly not on the PCars website.

PS4!!

Mate mate mate... Where to start! Wasn't using the Xbone so when someone at work 6 months ago offered me what I paid for it I bit their arm off! Then last month HotDeals linked to a PS4 offer that was too good to refuse so I took the plunge, and now to rub salt in the wounds there's a PH Forza 5 night getting going!! Peeved is not the word... Seriously though good work for getting one going Andy, all the best to you and I would be there with bells on had I not jumped ship

These are the main reasons im buying the game, we need more British tracks!

Absolutely! Thruxton would be nice, not sure the thrill of driving it IRL would translate to joy of playing it in a game though

[brian394]

Got to say, I bought a PS4 back in november, just so I'd have it for the release of Project Cars. The lure of the british tracks is one of the main things that I'm looking forward to.

I'm also planning on buying a playseat and thrust master wheel, because why not...

[y2blade]

Good NEWS:
Licensing of the Nürburgring, Nürburgring Nordschleife, Spa Francorchamps, Sonoma, Brno & Willow Springs has been finalized!!!
More to come in the next days ...

[kowalski655]

Excellent,so no daft made up names,even though EVERYONE knows what they are.
I just hope the changes to the GUI,tracks etc,dont delay the release again!

Blimey! That is awful!

Hopefully a set up that can be tweaked. Had no idea it was coming out so soon, this looks excellent! Will be buying on PC fo sho.

[laam999]

Argh, I'm sick of waiting, I'd rather dl the patch after a month -_-

[RobbieKB]

I spent almost all my time on Forza and GT doing the same thing, so I have a question:

Can I race around Nurburgring, at night, in the rain?
