Watch Project Cars’ “Start Your Engines” trailer
Last September, Bandai Namco Games revealed their simulation racer Project CARS would be arriving during the fall. While the game was mysteriously pushed back, rumors circulated the company was trying to avoid competition from Xbox One’s Forza Horizon 2 and PlayStation 4’s DRIVECLUB.
With the exception of Need for Speed: Shift, the upcoming Slightly Mad Studios-developed project is set to see a non-crowded splash to retail and digital during spring. In the new Start Your Engines trailer, we’re previewed to a variety of new vehicles and also dynamic weather settings. Since 2011, the upcoming hardcore simulation racer has been in the works and we’ll finally get our hands on it this March 17th.
