Project Cars 2 Has Been Announced With Rally Focus

I had a great time with Project Cars when it launched and it's great to see a successful new voice on the driving simulator scene. Slightly Mad Studios have a lot of space to expand and improve on their very solid base.

And expand is what they plan to do. The studio has announced that is currently working on Project Cars 2. You can help shape development, just like the first game using the World of Mass Development website. There seems to be some pretty heavy hints that the game is going to focus on off road driving too, which is pretty exciting.

It is revealed there too that new features to the sequel will include:

• The Largest Track Roster Ever – 50 unique locations and 200+ courses including 'loose surface racing' on dirt, gravel, mud, and snow. All will have dynamic time of day and weather allowing you to play any time, anywhere
• The Widest Variety of Motorsports – with 8 different disciplines now including Rallycross, Hillclimbs, and Touge. 200+ cars from over 40 different vehicle classes including never-before-seen Concepts and Banned Race Cars
• Co-op Career – Play as the Teammate Driver, Spotter, Driver Swap, or Co-Pilot. More choices, more opportunities, more strategy, greater risks and greater rewards
• Seamlessly Connected – Socialize and compete via Online Track Days, have players from around the world take the place of AI-controlled drivers in your solo play, and get news updates on the Driver Network around you
• Pro Esports Racing – Skill & Behavioural-based matchmaking, create your own Online Racing Leagues, and Live Broadcast and Spectator functionality
• Your Home for Racing – Your own personal, customisable Test Track to tune and test your cars. Invite others to showcase your passion for racing and learn race craft and engineering with the Project CARS Academy

I'm all for this. This series has a lot of potential and exploring rally racing will open up something vastly different to what the first offered. I'm in.
