Project CARS: RUF License – CHECK!
Andy Garton announced today that Slightly Mad Studios managed to acquire a license from German car manufacturer RUF, famous for tuning Porsche of all kind. This does not necessarily mean that normal Porsche models will be included as well, especially due to their license agreement with EA, but it’s definitely nice to see them being added to the game.
License signed for 1987 CTR “Yellowbird”, 2012 CTR3, 2012 Rt 12R and the 2012 RGT-8.
Andy Garton also announced that another license agreement is just around the corner but didn’t mention which one since the negotiations are still ongoing.
A certain large German manufacturer (it’s not Porsche, and I won’t say who so don’t bother guessing) actually contacted us today to ask if we’d like some of their cars in the game, so the tide could be turning
(No doubt their next step will be to tell us how much we have to pay, but still!)
For more about this upcoming multiplaform game visit our Project CARS forum with the latest news, open discussions and much more.
Props to all fellow haters out there, we love you! <3

Oh the Yellowbird is an epic car. If the physics are done correctly that will mean full opposite lock even on high-speed corners. Pure sliding fun.

Regards the ‘other’ manufacturer.
I’d guess either they have secured an Audi license (so can now rename the Asano’s) or maybe Mercedes are wanting to join in the fun.
:O_o:
More German manufacturers, please.
It’d be great to see more variety in the offerings Ruf has made over the years.
For example the 993 and 996 ranges had some of the most appealing Ruf cars ever in my view.
The 964/993/996 Ruf’s at the time were bonkers, loads of fantastic specials that now seem forgotten.
It’s always nice to offer the newest cars, probably for marketing purposes these days more than anything… but missing out a 25 year gap of great Ruf models doesn’t really thrill me that much.
Just adding a 993 or 996 and dropping one of the most recent cars would make the overall Ruf offering many times more appealing for my tastes at least.

The whole business with licensing has always baffled me anyway, legally they can’t stop you from taking a picture of their cars and selling it and this is no different.
If you were making an exact duplicate and tried to pass it off as an original, then they would have a cause of action against you (unless of course you were Chinese).

Great news, now let’s hope Asetto Corsa gets themselves a RUF license too!
:ninja:
Or rather Kunos gets it FOR AC, was what I meant ><
