If Project Cars 2 is the racing game you’re looking forward to most this year, we now have a few details which might well pique your interest.

First up, there’s a new trailer, featuring “‘work in progress in-game footage” and showcasing a variety of cars including various GT3 machines, an Aston Martin Vulcan and the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. On that subject, PC2 will have over 170 licensed cars, well over double the amount of the original game.

The whole wet weather thing - one of Project Cars’ biggest strengths - returns, and as well as wet/dry tarmac you’ll also be able to drive on gravel, mud, dirt and ice. The latter feature is shown in the trailer via a sideways-heavy appearance from a Mercedes-AMG C63, and it looks like tremendous fun. The team is also claiming to have the “widest variety of motorsports,” having now added Rallycross and Indycar to the list.

Elsewhere, PC2 is also promising over 60 tracks, full VR and 12K HDR support (PC only for that detail, obviously), plus a 24 hour dynamic weather cycle.

So, when will you be able to enjoy all this? We still don’t have a definitive date, but Slightly Mad Studios does say the game will be here “late 2017” on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

For now, here are some screen shots to drool over…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I wish CT staff would make a post like this for #CTthegame

So we just play a video game where we build cars and race against each other, with ridiculous customization.

CT the game would be people watching cars crying why they can’t own them.

I want to do some skids on that snow road

Beautiful game I have the physics don’t suck like pc1 does

*hope

i guess i cant be slightly mad with this

Gtsport or this! HELP!?!?!

GT sport for the photos, this for everything else

I dont see why everyone thinks pcars one sucks, honestly its just a difficult game that requires a lot of practice, its not like you hop on and expect to play really well, i personally love pcars 1 and still play it

You speak the truth, guy. I still enjoy playing ir, and will do so right until PC2 comes out.

Because it’s unrealistic as a**

I liked it and it’s hard it just felt empty though like there was no soul

I played pcars many times because its as you say not that bad, but in all honesty the physics have a lot to develop in comparasion to other games like assettocorsa, an easy way to see this is analyzing the ovesteer in the game its not Very real its a weird kind of uncontrollable, you feel disconnected, its harder than in real life.
