YouTube’s member ‘Jonz66’ made an interesting comparison video between Project CARS and Shift 2. Jonz66 captured footage from the Bathurst track and we can immediately notice some differences between them. In Shift 2, players wre complaining about the cars ‘sliding’ and thankfully for them, this sliding effect is not present in pCARs. In addition, both the lighting and the shadowing system seems better in Project CARS. Shift 2 wins when it comes to environmental detail but we should keep in mind that Project CARS is still in pre-alpha stage.

Fanatec have uploaded a pretty interesting video that hints at Porsches coming to a ‘new racing sim’ game. The footage was recorded in the pit Sebastian Vettel used on his last F1 GP at Hockenheim Ring and there was a test session for all Porsche Carrera Cup and Supercup teams and the introduction of a new racing simulation. Now if you look closely to the monitors, you’ll definitely notice Project CARS’ HUD. Not only that, but there are keyboards and mice on the ground, suggesting that this is actually a PC game.
