Online
In addition to searching for a particular track or car combination, or jumping into the next available event, you can also create a custom event with a number of different styles.
- Public events can be entered by anyone and utilise an automated lobby countdown timer and ‘vote to start now’ mechanic to ensure players get into events quickly and without being at the mercy of a single player. They are findable by any other players from around the world.
- Private events however are designed for you and your friends or Xbox Live Party to participate in. There’s no lobby timer yet players can still show they’re ready for the host to start it. Private events are only findable using the search function for a particular lobby name.
Regardless of which, you can invite other players into both online events or choose to fill empty driver spaces with AI opponents.
Not happy with the track that the host has chosen? You can even vote to force them to change it!
Uniquely in Project CARS, you can also create not only races but full race weekends meaning you can allow any combination of practice, qualifying, rolling start, or warmup laps you want. Got a friend that’s running a bit late for your game? You can even set the times for these pre-race sessions, start, and then have them join mid-session!
And of course it goes without saying that any car, track, and time of day/weather combination are possible here - in addition to also being able to set restrictions on particular driving assists, camera views, and gearing. We can’t wait to see the variety of games you create.
