Legends of the Track: Porsche Can-Am 917/10 “Turbo Panzer”

At the end of the 1971 season, with two consecutive Sportscar Championships under its belt, the Porsche 917K (in Project CARS 3) was made redundant by the new Group 5 rules that mandated engines of only under 3-litres. Porsche, in response, turned its focus west—to North America and the mythical Can-Am Series. It was a […]

Ferrari 488 Challenge

For the 25th Anniversary of the Ferrari Challenge series, Ferrari introduced their first-ever turbocharged V8 for the all-Ferrari one-marque series.

Road Legends That Changed the World: The Porsche Carrera GT in Project CARS 3

What makes the Porsche Carrera GT such an icon? One-part handling and performance, and one-part genesis. The origin story reads like this: built from the remains of an endurance racing prototype that ran out of funding and fired by an evolution of a Formula 1-derived Porsche V10 engine that never-raced. And as cool as that […]

Ferrari F355 Challenge and Lamborghini Diablo GTR: Which is Your Favourite Spec-racer?

Around the year 2000, those who’d survived the full horrors of the Y2K pandemic and had a bit of cash still lying around were confronted with a tantalising choice: which one-spec’ racing series should they sink a few hundred K into?

The 1,500-plus HP Club in Project CARS 3: ICE!

Once upon a time, a car with over a ton of horsepower was consigned strictly to elite levels of motorsport.

These cars were solely made for track work and, without any aids, capable […]

Finding your favourite Porsche 911 in Project CARS 3 isn’t just about the performance, looks, or track prowess: the “everyman” sportscar is about generations.

Snetterton—Everyone’s Favourite Circuit

No one dislikes Snetterton. It’s one of those elbows-out circuits where every position gained is testament to racecraft, and every second gained testament to time invested in learning its little secrets.
