18 hours of editing later, and the retrospective I’ve put the most work into is completed. Thanks everyone for generating so much hype around this. Sim racing is fun and a worthwhile topic to cover, especially if it’s a game like this. Let’s hope this gets out to a lot of people.

Can’t believe EA killed the game that single handedly changed sim racing
-
I still play project cars 2 to this day. The track selection is amazing. Car selection is amazing. Setting up races and multi class races is super easy. The graphics paired with a vr is hands down the best immersive sim experience ever.
-
Project cars 2 lives on in Automobilista 2 since 2021. They are using the madness engine so if you want a modern project cars game thats the game.
-
Appreciate the shoutout to Driveclub, still genuinely one of my favourite racing games. Each of the tracks/countries were so unique, and the environment and weather effects are still among the best of any racing title. I just regret Evolution Studios never made a next generation Motorstorm with Mudrunner physics.
-
I still love this on my PS5 for it's track selection alone 💟
-
I still play/love this game. I started playing last year but no one else plays it. I feel bad ngl
-
best track list ever
-
Absolutely love PC2. Its crazy how good this sim is
-
Pc2 is awesome!!! Still playing
-
Great video. I still love playing this game. It might be my favorite thus far. It really was ahead of its time.
-
Only 600 views? You deserve more
-
It was unfinished but it was FUN. I still love it.
-
Very nice in depth video! Project CARS 1 & 2 are underrated in my opinion, I started a career mode series on this game in 2018 and I’m still in the process of completing all the championships, I’ve also done GT3 league racing and endurance racing including 2 24 hour races at the Nurburgring online with a friend and a Le Mans 24H in endurance in career mode, the immersion and the handling & ffb is very nice imo and I love the original Project CARS as well :)
-
Something nobody ever talks about is that project cars 2 has the best sense of speed and camera angles of any game I've played. That helmet cams lean when you come to a turn, the hood cams seem like you're going really fast, it's just great to have a variety. And the fact that you have a cockpit view that views the passenger seat as well is insane to me
-
Incredible game for the Xbox. Had all the features games are striving for today and what a great track list
-
Kudos, it was an amazing effort to present the short comings of PC franchise. I do want to mention that, you forgot the chance to mention Automobilista 2, which revived Project Cars using the same Madness Engine. AMS2 did exactly what PC wasn't able to.
-
PC2 is legendary. I still love this game, and wish to hell that another sim of this quality will make it to a console someday.
-
I play pc2 daily on ps4
-
Visually and aurally breathtaking game. I love driving the old racecars on an h pattern Sim shifter
