The Spirit of Le Mans comes to Project CARS 2
Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco have announced that Project CARS 2 has gotten even larger today, with the release of the 'Spirit of Le Mans' DLC pack, available to get today.
Experience two of the most thrilling eras of sportscar racing at the world’s most evocative endurance race and discover the true Spirit of Le Mans as today’s LMP1 heroes meet yesteryear’s electrifying prototypes in one classic Pack that captures the pure essence of the 24 Heures du Mans.
Fight the “Battle of the Titans” driving for Ferrari or Porsche in an era that was forever captured by the Hollywood blockbuster movie “Le Mans”.
Slide into the cockpit of a 1970 Ferrari 512 S, Ferrari 512 M, or Porsche 917 LH to live-out the greatest, wildest sportscar period in history, all on a painstakingly and faithfully recreated Le Mans Vintage Track just as it was in 1971.
The Le Mans Vintage Track is a high-fidelity recreation of the Circuit de la Sarthe before it was forever altered in response to the breath-taking speeds of the Ferrari 512s and Porsche 917s, both capable of 360 km/h (222 mph) from their fire-breathing 5-litre monster engines.
Then fast-forward to now and fight for victory in four of today’s high-tech, nigh-on 1,000hp endurance-racing heroes―the Toyota TS050 Hybrid, the three-time Le Mans-winning Porsche 919 Hybrid, and two of Audi’s all-dominant racers, the high-grip Audi R18 (Fuji 2016 spec’) and the high-speed Audi R18 (Le Mans 2016 spec’).
Along with the cars and classic track that represent two of the most storied eras of Le Mans come 2 ultra-rare Le Mans racers: the 1980 Porsche 924 Carrera GTP (Porsche only built three of them) and the 1986 Porsche 961, the one-off Group C weapon that ran twice at Le Mans.
Yesterday and today’s heroes, the legendary Le Mans Vintage Track, and the purity of a 24-Hour race: this is the “Spirit of Le Mans”.
Along with the nine cars and vintage track come five Career events, designed to breathe life into the spirit of Le Mans, and ten bespoke liveries.
This third expansion pack for Project CARS 2 captures the ever-thrilling battles and epic racing at Le Mans: with the game’s peerless day-to-night transitions and four seasons of grip-affecting weather, racing the 24-Hour French classic has never been this fun, challenging, or real.
