About Project Motor Racing
Project Motor Racing is a racing simulator developed by Straight4 Studios and published by Giants Software. Released on November 25, 2025, it runs on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. The game focuses on realistic handling, featuring a mix of classic and modern high-performance cars across iconic circuits. It includes single-player, multiplayer, and co-op modes. While it’s not the most popular title on Twitch (currently #84), its deep physics and customization options draw in serious racing enthusiasts. The core appeal lies in balancing precision driving with track strategy, making it a serious contender in the sim racing space.
Gameplay
The game revolves around mastering vehicle dynamics. Each session starts with tweaking suspension, tire pressure, and gear ratios before hitting the track. You spend hours fine-tuning setups to match weather and circuit conditions. Races last 30, 45 minutes, with AI opponents pushing you to manage tire wear and fuel efficiency. The controls are nuanced, using a steering wheel and pedals feels intuitive, but mastering throttle modulation takes practice. Multiplayer modes allow head-to-head or time trials, while co-op lets teams manage pit stops. The emphasis is on consistency over aggression, rewarding patience and technical skill.
What Players Think
Project Motor Racing holds a 9.1/10 average from critics, with 89% of players giving it 4+ stars. Completion rates are high at 92%, though 57% abandon it before reaching 100% (average playtime: 35 hours). The community is split: 68% label it "obsessive," while 24% call it "frustrating" due to steep learning curves. Player reviews cite "car customization is a breeze but damage modeling feels shallow" and "track variety is unmatched but AI behavior is glitchy." Twitch’s #84 ranking suggests it’s not mainstream, but dedicated racers praise its authenticity.
PlayPile's Take
At $59.99, Project Motor Racing is a mid-tier purchase for sim racing fans. It offers 100 achievements (45 hours to complete) and caters to those who enjoy careful vehicle tuning and long sessions. It’s not for casual players or those seeking arcade-style fun. If you own a wheel and have patience for physics-heavy gameplay, it’s worth the investment. Skip it if you prefer fast-paced, low-effort racing. The game’s strength lies in its depth, but be prepared to spend real money and time to fully appreciate it.
