Interesting track additions to the game include a first officially recreated version of the beautiful Knockhill circuit in Scotland, an historic version of Spa and of course the now essential version of the Nordschleife... in nine different versions!

So after the recent car list reveal, now we know about the tracks, we've seen plenty of screenshots and we've heard about the options and eSports elements of the title. All we need to do is wait for September 22nd and play the game ourselves!

Project CARS 2 will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC 22nd September 2017.

I don't have problem with tracks using fake names due to lack of license as long as they are in game and same quality as all others. I'd totally buy a track pack full of them if it is in a game I enjoy

I doubt you'll see this... This would be viewed as not the best way to build a relationship to actually get a real license (i.e. can't come to an agreement on the license, so we'll just do it anyway). The main difference was Azure/Monaco for PC1. It is public streets which is public domain. The name was the only protected piece for that track which is why SMS did what they did.

For non-street based tracks, those are protected in their entirety which is why there isn't a full rendition of Suzuka with a different name in PC.

September? From the experience of PC1 I suppose it will be April to June 2018 so.

Hope they have fixed their Nordschleife. It is the worst mesh around, bar none. It's even worse than the sloppy version on Enthusia (a great game, btw).

I agree, it would have been much better if the AI that was half way up on the car on its outside just held its line and caused a wreck as the other car moved to the apex of the corner.

Damn AI reacting and avoiding wrecks. Just what we don't want.

Perhaps you'd like more blatant examples of AI cutting corners that you can't attribute to "wreck avoidance"? Here the AI is in the middle of a race, leading a small pack, and cuts two successive corners.

From 3:50-4:18

AI cuts T2 after start for no reason.

Nope, those are pretty obvious. Hopefully it's related to the aggression slider and can be toned down.

 

[Emery]

AI cuts corner at T1, plenty of room outside, and following AI just repeats the same idiocy. Even worse, if you watch the whole video, the 6 leading AI all inexplicably go into the pits to let the player be in first place for the second half of the race.

To sum up, the AI in pCARS 2 is no better than pCARS 1, effectively making offline racing nothing more than hotlapping.

Don't know, but it is still WIP, so...

You're reaching on this one again. 1st turn of the race, I'd rather see that than the traffic jam crash outs of the first game on the first turn.

As for pitting to switch tires, don't know, hard to program perfect strategies as mistakes of this nature are made all the time in real racing.

So far I haven't found a really great offline ai in any sim.
