Bananas Join the Farm

While bananas had already been spotted on the cover of the expansion, GIANTS Software has now officially confirmed the crop and revealed how it will work in-game. Players will be able to grow bananas throughout the year in the new Catuaí region, adding another permanent production option to their farms.

However, banana farming isn't simply a matter of planting and harvesting. The crop introduces a completely new plantation cultivation system, designed around dedicated rows, rails, and washing stations.

A Brand-New Cultivation System

Players can create banana plantations manually or use the game's Boundary Painting system to quickly establish larger growing areas. The system automatically calculates the direction of the rows, the number of rails required, and the overall area of the plantation.

Once the bananas are ready, players can harvest them manually using a machete. The harvested bunches are then placed onto the plantation's rail system and transported towards washing stations. Players who prefer a more automated approach can also hire workers to handle the harvesting process.

After being washed, bananas become pallets that can either be sold or sent into several new production chains.

From Bananas to New Products

The new crop isn't limited to being sold as a raw product. Bananas can be processed into a variety of goods, including banana milk, banana chips, banana jam, and cake.

Different production facilities will make use of the crop, including dairies, canning factories, bakeries, and drying stations. This gives players another reason to integrate banana plantations into their wider production networks.

Banana plants also require regular care. When diseases appear, players will need to treat their plantations with fungicide. After harvesting, the plants are cut back rather than removed entirely, allowing them to regrow and produce another crop.

Beans & Alpacas Comes to gamescom

The banana reveal comes just as Beans & Alpacas prepares for its public debut at gamescom 2026. Visitors to GIANTS Software's booth in Hall 6 will be able to play the expansion for the first time from August 26th to 30th in Cologne.

Players will be able to explore the new Catuaí region, grow coffee and bananas, experience the new farming systems, and take care of the expansion's new animals. The playable demo will also give visitors the chance to shear alpacas, one of the most distinctive new gameplay features introduced with the expansion.

More Than Just Coffee

The addition of bananas further expands the scope of the Beans & Alpacas Expansion. Alongside coffee production and alpaca husbandry, players will have access to new machinery, production chains, and agricultural systems inspired by South American farming.

With banana plantations now officially confirmed, players can expect even more variety when managing their farms in Catuaí.

Coming October 27th

Farming Simulator 25: Beans & Alpacas is scheduled to release on October 27th, 2026 for PC and consoles. The expansion will introduce coffee, bananas, alpacas, new production chains, and more than two dozen new machines to the game.

For those attending gamescom, however, the wait is almost over. Beans & Alpacas will be playable from August 26th, offering the first hands-on look at what promises to be one of the most feature-rich expansions yet for Farming Simulator 25. ☕🍌🦙🚜

A Major Step for LMDh

The headline feature of Version 2.2 is a comprehensive overhaul of the LMDh class. Straight4 Studios has reworked almost every major aspect of the cars in an effort to improve their behaviour, responsiveness, and communication with the driver.

The changes cover the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Motor Generator Unit (MGU) regeneration, brake-by-wire system, power delivery, aerodynamics, tyres, suspension, and chassis dynamics. The update also introduces a new tyre model with three compounds and a redesigned aerodynamic model with greater pitch sensitivity.

Improved Hybrid and Driving Physics

The LMDh changes go deeper than a simple handling adjustment. MGU regeneration now responds dynamically to speed, downforce, and lateral G-forces, helping prevent unwanted instability and wheel lockups.

The ICE has also received improvements to its inertia, throttle response, engine braking, and power delivery. Brake-by-wire functionality has been refined as well, while new default setups and revised traction control and ABS settings aim to provide a better starting point for drivers.

Straight4 Studios describes Version 2.2 as the first stage of a wider LMDh overhaul, with further car-specific refinements planned for future updates.

VR and Triple Screen Enter Beta

Another major change comes to VR and Triple Screen support. Previously available only through command-line instructions while in an experimental Alpha state, both features are now moving into Beta.

PC players no longer need additional launch commands. VR and Triple Screen options can now be enabled directly through the game's settings menu, making the features significantly easier to access.

GT3 Improvements

The GT3 class has also received a number of fixes and refinements. These include improved tyre behaviour, better wet-weather performance, reduced overheating issues, and more realistic grip characteristics.

Issues such as tyre temperatures rising while cars were stationary and cars having two reverse gears have also been addressed. Wet tyres now react more quickly and are more susceptible to overheating when driven in dry conditions.

Smarter AI and Better Online Racing

Version 2.2 also improves the behaviour of AI opponents. Pit strategy has been refined, blue and yellow flag behaviour has been improved, and AI drivers are now better able to overtake slower cars during multi-class races. San Marino and Mount Panorama have also received AI pace and behaviour improvements.

Online racing receives new lobby filtering options, while players who cause a collision after a jump start can now receive a disqualification. Factory Driver mode has also received several improvements, including better lap-time submission and a new countdown for challenges.

More Than Just Physics

The update also includes improvements to vehicle visuals, environment details, audio, Career Mode, HUD elements, and general gameplay stability. High-speed road and wind effects have been enhanced across all cars, while several issues affecting menus, replays, controller inputs, and race displays have been fixed.

Version 2.2 Is Available Now

Project Motor Racing Version 2.2 is now available, delivering one of the game's most significant physics updates yet. With the LMDh class receiving its first major overhaul and VR and Triple Screen becoming easier to access, the update lays the groundwork for further improvements in future versions.

For LMDh fans in particular, Version 2.2 marks the beginning of a much deeper transformation of the game's fastest prototype class. 🏁

First Hands-On Experience

Visitors will be able to explore the new Catuaí region, grow coffee, and meet the newly introduced alpacas and Brahman cattle. The expansion's South American setting will be available to play ahead of its release.

But that's not all. GIANTS Software has also teased that a new crop will be revealed during gamescom, confirming that coffee won't be the only new crop coming with the expansion. 🌱

The booth will also feature Farming Simulator: Signature Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, Farming Simulator 26 for mobile devices, and Project Motor Racing. Real machinery, competitions, presentations, giveaways, and the return of the popular Farming Simulator straw hats will also be part of the event.

A New Way to Explore

Atlas is designed to give players another reason to venture off the beaten path. Accessible through the in-game desktop under the Navigation tab, the feature revolves around Tourist Boards scattered throughout the map.

After selecting a Tourist Board, the player's GPS will guide them to its location. Once there, several exploration locations in the surrounding area will be revealed, giving drivers a list of places to discover.

Points of Interest, Viewpoints & Photo Trophies

Atlas features three different types of exploration locations: Points of Interest, Viewpoints, and Photo Trophies. Each offers a different way to experience the world of American Truck Simulator.

Points of Interest are a brand-new type of discoverable location. Unlike Viewpoints and Photo Trophies, players don't need to stop or activate anything. Simply driving through the designated area is enough to mark the location as explored.

Players can also revisit discovered Points of Interest through the Atlas or Gallery. A live camera feed allows drivers to take another look at the location, even showing their truck if it is currently parked there.

Learn Something Along the Way

Atlas isn't simply about collecting locations. Every newly discovered area comes with a short description containing interesting information about the place. Players can return to the Atlas interface whenever they want to read these descriptions again.

A new on-screen notification also lets drivers know whenever they discover something new, accompanied by a short celebratory sound effect. The notification widget can be enabled or disabled through the game's widget settings.

Collect Unique Postcards

Completing all exploration locations connected to a Tourist Board comes with its own reward. Once every location has been discovered, the board will be marked as completed and players will receive a unique postcard inspired by the region they explored.

These postcards can be displayed directly on the dashboard of the player's vehicle, giving dedicated explorers a small collectible to show off during their journeys.

Players can also use Atlas to review previously discovered locations, read their descriptions, and replay any unlocked cutscenes.

Available Beyond Cars

Atlas will become available to players who own either of the Road Trip DLCs: the Ford Car Pack or the RAM & Dodge Car Pack. However, the feature isn't restricted to car gameplay. Players will also be able to explore the world and complete Atlas discoveries while driving their trucks.

Expanding Across the Map

At launch, Tourist Boards will be available across California, as well as the Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota DLC regions. SCS Software plans to gradually expand Atlas to the remaining states in future updates.

This means Atlas will continue to grow alongside the American Truck Simulator map, giving players more locations to discover and more reasons to revisit areas they've already driven through.

A New Reason to Hit the Road

With Atlas, SCS Software is adding a fresh exploration layer to American Truck Simulator. Instead of simply passing through a town or landmark on the way to a delivery, players will now have a reason to slow down, explore their surroundings, and learn more about the world they've been driving through.

Whether you're hunting for hidden locations, collecting postcards, or simply looking for an excuse to take the scenic route, Atlas promises to make every journey a little more rewarding. 🗺️🚛

Driving Through the Mountains

British Columbia is home to some of North America's most challenging mountain roads, where steep terrain and heavy snowfall have shaped the highway network for decades. To recreate this unique driving experience, SCS Software has carefully modeled a variety of tunnels and snow sheds that players will encounter throughout the expansion.

From winding mountain passes to dramatic rock formations, these structures add another layer of realism while showcasing the incredible engineering found across western Canada.

Iconic Snow Sheds

Among the highlights is the Great Bear Snow Shed on the famous Coquihalla Highway, one of the province's best-known avalanche protection structures. Snow sheds are specially designed concrete covers that allow snow and avalanches to pass safely over the roadway while traffic continues underneath.

Players will also drive through several additional snow sheds located along the Trans-Canada Highway in Glacier National Park, faithfully recreating one of Canada's most memorable mountain routes.

Historic Tunnels Await

In addition to avalanche protection structures, the DLC features several real-world highway tunnels, including the Yale Tunnel, Alexandra Tunnel, Hell's Gate Tunnel, Ferrabee Tunnel, and China Bar Tunnel near the town of Hope. Drivers visiting the Vancouver area will also pass through the well-known Cassiar Tunnel.

Together, these landmarks help recreate the atmosphere of British Columbia's legendary highways, where every journey offers dramatic scenery and unforgettable driving conditions.

More Realism Than Ever

With detailed mountain roads, authentic infrastructure, and breathtaking scenery, the British Columbia DLC is shaping up to be one of the most immersive expansions ever released for American Truck Simulator. The newly revealed tunnels and snow sheds demonstrate SCS Software's continued commitment to faithfully recreating real-world locations for virtual truckers.

Ready to haul cargo through Canada's spectacular mountain highways? The upcoming British Columbia DLC promises unforgettable routes filled with iconic tunnels, towering snow sheds, and stunning alpine scenery.

A New Way to Grow Coffee

One of the biggest additions in the Beans & Alpacas Expansion is the new coffee production system. Coffee plantations introduce a new type of orchard gameplay, complete with specialized planting, maintenance, harvesting, and processing mechanics.

Setting up plantations has also been made more accessible thanks to the new Boundary Painting system. Instead of manually calculating planting lines and angles, players can define the boundaries of their orchard while the game automatically handles the layout. Planting can also be carried out throughout the entire year, providing more flexibility when establishing coffee plantations.

Keep Your Coffee Plants Healthy

Coffee plants won't simply grow without attention. The expansion introduces plant diseases, including fungal infections that can affect the leaves of coffee plants.

To protect their plantations, players will need to purchase fungicides and regularly treat their crops using specialized equipment such as the KUHN AFS 600. At least one treatment per year is required to keep the plants healthy and maintain a productive plantation.

From Coffee Cherries to Coffee Beans

Harvesting coffee also requires specialized machinery. The Case IH Coffee Express 200 Multi is designed specifically for collecting coffee cherries from the narrow plantation rows.

Additional equipment such as the Colombo CTG 4500 helps transport the harvested crop through the tight rows before the coffee is either sold directly or taken to a processing facility. There, the coffee cherries can be dried and transformed into valuable coffee beans, creating a brand-new production chain for players to manage.

Meet the Alpacas

Coffee isn't the only new addition to the farm. The expansion introduces alpacas as a completely new animal species. Players can raise alpacas in four different colors: white, grey, brown, and beige, alongside adorable young alpacas. 🦙

Alpacas are primarily fed with grass and hay, making them relatively straightforward to care for. However, keeping them happy involves more than simply providing food and shelter.

An Interactive Shearing Experience

Once their wool has grown, alpacas can be taken to their enclosure using a leash and prepared for shearing. The expansion introduces an interactive alpaca shearing minigame, where players need to carefully operate the shearing equipment while avoiding overheating the machine.

Successfully completing the process produces wool pallets, providing another valuable resource that can be used within the farm's production chain.

Taking alpacas out for regular walks also increases their happiness level, adding another small but engaging element to animal care.

Sugarcane Gets a Major Upgrade

Sugarcane farming is also receiving several important improvements with the expansion. One of the biggest additions is the John Deere CH950, a harvester capable of harvesting two rows of sugarcane simultaneously, significantly improving efficiency in the field.

The developers have also upgraded the visual presentation of sugarcane. Leaves, soil textures, and unloading effects have all been improved to provide a more detailed and convincing harvesting experience.

Vehicle physics have received attention as well, with more realistic vehicle weights, suspension movement, and trailer behavior designed to make heavy machinery feel more authentic while working in the field.

A New Fleet for South America

The Beans & Alpacas Expansion brings a wide selection of machinery designed to complement its South American setting. Among the vehicles showcased during the FarmCon presentation are several notable additions.

The Ford Ranger XL joins the game as a simple and durable pickup designed for the South American market, providing a practical vehicle for everyday farm work.

The New Holland 8030 and Valtra BH HiTech add specialized tractor configurations, including versions designed without traditional cabs and models featuring wider track configurations.

For heavier transport duties, players can turn to the Mercedes-Benz Zetros, available in both 4x4 and 6x6 configurations, offering serious off-road capability for demanding terrain.

The expansion also introduces the John Deere 8R and 8RX series in both wheeled and tracked configurations. These tractors can be equipped with integrated liquid fertilizer tanks and paired with the John Deere 3131 FT planter for specialized fieldwork.

Building a More Authentic Türkiye

Creating a convincing representation of Türkiye requires more than simply connecting roads and cities. SCS Software is developing a large collection of new assets designed to give the region its own visual identity, from buildings and roadside structures to vegetation and everyday details found throughout the country.

The development team plans to create around 300 new generic assets, alongside the usual collection of unique landmark assets. These additions will help create more variety throughout the map while maintaining a distinctly Turkish atmosphere.

Architecture Inspired by Anatolia

One of the most important parts of recreating Türkiye is its architecture. The upcoming assets are designed to reflect the different building styles and urban environments players can encounter while travelling across the country.

From residential areas and commercial buildings to smaller roadside structures, these details will help make cities and towns feel more authentic rather than relying on generic assets already used elsewhere in the game.

Details Along the Road

The new asset collection isn't limited to buildings. SCS Software is also working on a wide range of smaller environmental details that help bring the landscape to life.

These assets can be used throughout the map to create more varied streets, industrial areas, rural locations, and roadside environments. Combined with unique landmarks, they will help make journeys through Türkiye feel distinct from other regions already available in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Around 300 New Generic Assets

According to SCS Software, the team is planning to produce approximately 300 new generic assets for the project, in addition to its collection of landmark assets. This represents a significant investment in creating a diverse visual toolkit for the new region.

The goal is to give map designers enough variety to build convincing environments across different parts of Anatolia while ensuring that the scenery remains visually consistent with the region.

A New Identity for ETS2

The Soul of Anatolia DLC is shaping up to offer more than just new roads to explore. Through its custom-built assets, architecture, landmarks, and environmental details, SCS Software aims to create a recognizable Turkish identity throughout the expansion.

With hundreds of new assets being prepared, every kilometre of the journey is set to feature details that make Türkiye feel like a natural part of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 world. 🇹🇷

The road to Anatolia continues, and with each new development update, Soul of Anatolia is becoming a more detailed and authentic addition to Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Red vs Blue

The rivalry between Ford and Holden is about much more than motorsport. For generations of Australians, the two manufacturers became deeply connected to family traditions, local communities, work, road trips, and national identity.

Holden represented the idea of Australia's own car, while Ford's Falcon became the blue-collar challenger that built its own place in Australian automotive culture. Eventually, that rivalry found its ultimate sporting stage in Australian touring car racing.

From Phillip Island to Bathurst

The roots of the Ford versus Holden rivalry in Australian motorsport stretch back to the 1960s, when touring car racing was closely connected to the cars ordinary Australians drove every day.

The Armstrong 500 at Phillip Island in 1960 marked an early chapter in the rivalry, before Mount Panorama and the Bathurst 500 became its spiritual home from 1963 onwards. Over the decades, Bathurst transformed the manufacturer rivalry into one of the most fiercely contested battles in motorsport.

Heroes of the Rivalry

The story wasn't only about the cars. Legendary drivers helped turn Ford versus Holden into a deeply personal rivalry.

For Holden, few names are more important than Peter Brock. Known as the "King of the Mountain," Brock's nine Bathurst victories remain unmatched and helped establish Holden's racing legacy.

On the Ford side, Allan Moffat became one of Holden's greatest rivals, producing some of the most memorable battles in Australian touring car history. Their rivalry helped transform Ford versus Holden from a manufacturer competition into a battle between personalities, teams, and generations of fans.

The Battle at Bathurst

Throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and beyond, Bathurst produced countless moments that became part of Australian motorsport folklore. One of the most famous came in 1977, when Allan Moffat and Jacky Ickx finished first and second for Ford in formation, delivering one of the most dominant results in Bathurst history.

Holden fans had their own legendary moments, including Peter Brock's remarkable 1979 Bathurst victory, when Brock and Jim Richards won by six laps.

By the 1990s and 2000s, the rivalry had reached its modern form through the V8 Supercars era, with the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore becoming the defining machines of Australian touring car racing.

The Final Chapter

The rivalry continued to produce unforgettable moments through drivers such as Craig Lowndes, Mark Skaife, Marcos Ambrose, Russell Ingall, and Jamie Whincup. From dramatic Bathurst finishes to fierce on-track battles, Ford and Holden became inseparable from the identity of Australian touring car racing.

The introduction of the 2013 Car of the Future regulations marked another important chapter, bringing the Ford Falcon FG and Holden Commodore VF into the final years of this iconic era.

The Aussie Rivals Pack

Project Motor Racing's Aussie Rivals Pack recreates this final chapter of the legendary rivalry. With the previously released 2013 Ford Falcon FG and the newly added 2013 Holden Commodore VF, players can now experience the ultimate red-versus-blue battle on the virtual track.

The pack is available completely free for all players, arriving alongside Update 2.1.

These cars represent the final great era of the Ford-versus-Holden rivalry before the introduction of the Gen3 Supercars regulations in 2023, when Holden-badged cars were replaced by the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Choose Your Side

The Aussie Rivals Pack isn't simply another pair of touring cars. It celebrates decades of competition, rivalry, national identity, and some of the most memorable moments in Australian motorsport history.

Now it's your turn to choose a side. Ford or Holden? Blue or red? Falcon or Commodore? 🇦🇺🏁

The Aussie Rivals Pack is available now as a free addition to Project Motor Racing, giving players the chance to settle one of motorsport's greatest rivalries on the track.

Signed souvenir cards, posters, Farming Simulator game keys, and exclusive merchandise were all up for grabs throughout the event.

The fun continued with interactive activities including a Farming Simulator Pub Quiz, Brand Guessing, and Map Guessing contests, offering even more opportunities for participants to win rewards.

Exclusive Collectibles

One of the event's highlights was a set of exclusive Barnyard Meetup souvenir glasses, which quickly became a popular keepsake among visitors. Combined with the lively atmosphere and interactive exhibitions, the collectibles helped make the event a memorable experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Become a Cultivator

Following the successful event, GIANTS Software encouraged community members around the world to join its Cultivator Program. The initiative supports local community leaders in organizing future Barnyard Meetups, helping connect Farming Simulator fans through regional events and community-driven activities.

From simulator competitions to community gatherings, the first Barnyard Meetup in Türkiye showcased the passion of Farming Simulator fans and highlighted the growing connection between virtual farming and real-world agriculture.

Born to Beat Ferrari

The Shelby Daytona Coupe was created with a single goal in mind: defeating Ferrari on the world's biggest GT racing stages. During the early 1960s, Carroll Shelby's Cobra roadsters possessed incredible power but lacked the aerodynamic efficiency needed to compete on high-speed circuits.

To solve the problem, designer Peter Brock developed a revolutionary closed-cockpit body that dramatically improved top speed and stability. The result was the Daytona Coupe, a machine that combined American V8 muscle with advanced aerodynamic design.

A Championship-Winning Legend

Although only six examples were ever built, the Daytona Coupe left an enormous mark on motorsport history. The car became a dominant force in international GT racing and played a crucial role in Shelby American securing the FIA World Manufacturers Championship in 1965.

Its victories against established European rivals cemented the Daytona Coupe's reputation as one of the greatest American racing cars ever created. Decades later, it remains one of the most celebrated and recognizable GT machines in motorsport history.

Raw Speed, Pure Commitment

According to the developers, the Daytona Coupe in Project Motor Racing faithfully captures the demanding nature of the original car. Without the electronic aids found in modern racing machines, drivers must rely entirely on skill, precision, and confidence behind the wheel.

The combination of a powerful V8 engine, lightweight construction, and aerodynamic bodywork creates a driving experience that rewards smooth inputs and punishes mistakes. Players who master the Daytona Coupe will discover why it became such a feared competitor during the golden age of GT racing.

Arriving with the GT Icons Pack

The 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe will be available as part of the GT Icons Pack, launching on June 23rd. The expansion celebrates some of the most influential and memorable GT race cars ever built, bringing legendary motorsport history to Project Motor Racing.

Ready to experience one of the most iconic GT racers ever built? The Shelby Daytona Coupe is ready to unleash its championship-winning legacy in Project Motor Racing.

When the Jaguar E-Type debuted in 1961, it was instantly hailed as one of the most beautiful cars ever created. However, Jaguar engineers wanted to prove its worth on the track against the world's best GT competitors.

To face the fierce international competition, Jaguar developed the "Special GT E-Type." By replacing the standard steel body panels with aluminum, stripping out the interior comforts, and using lighter glass, they shed crucial weight. The result was the "Lightweight" — a raw, stripped-back racer built purely for speed and agility.

A Rarity of Motorsport History

Only 12 original examples of the E-Type Lightweight were built during its initial run, making it one of the rarest and most coveted collector cars in motorsport history. Under its long, elegant aluminum hood lies a race-tuned 3.8-liter straight-six engine with fuel injection and a dry-sump lubrication system.

This powerhouse allowed the Lightweight to go toe-to-toe with the most formidable European and American GT cars of the 1960s. Decades later, its perfect blend of breathtaking aesthetics and aggressive racing performance cements its status as an absolute icon.

No Electronic Aids, Just Pure Mechanical Grip

According to the developers, driving the Jaguar E-Type Lightweight in Project Motor Racing will be a stark contrast to modern, high-tech GT3 machinery. Without traction control or ABS, drivers will have to manage weight transfer and throttle input with extreme precision.

The car is defined by its mechanical grip and challenging handling dynamics. Mastering the E-Type Lightweight means embracing the four-wheel drifts of the golden era, demanding total concentration but rewarding drivers with an incredibly fluid and satisfying racing experience.

Arriving with the GT Icons Pack

The 1964 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight will be available as part of the GT Icons Pack, launching on June 23rd. The expansion celebrates some of the most influential and memorable GT race cars ever built, bringing legendary motorsport history to Project Motor Racing.

Ready to tame one of the most beautiful and wild GT racers ever built? The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is ready to unleash its mechanical legacy in Project Motor Racing.

A Touring Car Legend Returns

Nicknamed the European Mustang, the Ford Capri became a symbol of performance and accessibility throughout the early 1970s. However, the RS3100 was far more than a road-going sports coupe. Developed specifically for homologation purposes, it was engineered to transform the Capri into a serious racing contender on some of Europe's most demanding circuits.

Built for Competition

Only 250 road-going examples of the RS3100 were produced, allowing Ford to meet FIA homologation requirements for international competition. Under the hood sat a powerful 3.1-liter Essex V6, laying the foundation for the car's successful racing career.

The competition versions pushed performance even further, featuring the famous Cosworth GAA V6 engine that produced up to 450 horsepower. Combined with aggressive bodywork and improved aerodynamics, the Capri RS3100 quickly became one of the most feared touring cars of its era.

Dominating the Golden Age of Touring Cars

Throughout the mid-1970s, the Capri RS3100 established itself as a major force in European touring car racing. Its blend of power, handling, and unmistakable styling helped it secure numerous victories while cementing its status as a fan favorite among racing enthusiasts.

The car's success at circuits across Europe made it one of Ford's most memorable competition vehicles and a true icon of the golden age of touring car racing.

A Pure Driving Experience

According to the developers, the Capri RS3100 delivers an authentic old-school racing experience. Its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout rewards smooth driving inputs while demanding precise control under braking, acceleration, and cornering.

Without the electronic driving aids found in modern race cars, players will need to rely on skill, timing, and vehicle balance to unlock the car's full potential on the track.

Arriving June 23 with the GT Icons Pack

The Ford Capri RS3100 will be available as part of the GT Icons Pack, launching on June 23rd for Project Motor Racing. The pack celebrates some of motorsport's most iconic machines, bringing legendary race cars from different eras into the simulation.

Ready to relive one of touring car racing's greatest stories? The Ford Capri RS3100 is set to roar back to life when the GT Icons Pack arrives later this month.

Pure American Muscle

Few sports cars capture the spirit of 1970s performance quite like the Corvette C3. With its aggressive shark-inspired bodywork, hidden headlights, wide fenders, and unmistakable stance, the C3 became one of the most recognizable American performance cars ever built.

Built around massive displacement and brute force, the Corvette represented a very different philosophy from its European rivals. While European sports cars focused on finesse and precision, the C3 delivered power, attitude, and a driving experience that demanded respect.

From Street Icon to Racing Contender

The Corvette's racing legacy grew significantly during the early 1970s. Greenwood Racing transformed the C3 into a serious endurance racing machine, competing at prestigious events including Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans. The car earned impressive results and proved that American muscle could challenge the world's best sports cars on the international stage.

Its combination of immense V8 power and aggressive styling made it one of the most memorable GT race cars of its era.

A Driver's Challenge

According to the developers, the Corvette C3 in Project Motor Racing remains true to its real-world personality. This is not a precision-guided GT machine designed to flatter every driver. Instead, it rewards commitment, confidence, and careful weight management through every corner.

Players will need to balance the car's substantial front-end weight before unleashing the thunderous V8 on corner exit. Mastering the C3 promises spectacular power slides and unforgettable racing moments, while mistakes can quickly turn into clouds of tire smoke.

Arriving with the GT Icons Pack

The 1973 Chevrolet Corvette C3 will be available as part of the GT Icons Pack, launching on June 23rd. The expansion celebrates some of motorsport's most distinctive and memorable machines, bringing legendary race cars from a golden era of competition into Project Motor Racing.

Ready for seven liters of V8 thunder and a driving experience with zero compromises? The Corvette C3 is about to bring classic American racing attitude to Project Motor Racing.
