Ep. #227 - Project Motor Racing

After 5 years, we welcome back the team who worked behind Project Cars and talk with them - now under the studio name of Straight4 - about their newest sim racing project, which could be seen as a spiritual successor named Project Motor Racing. Social Media Manager Fernando Moutinho and Head of Communications and Marketing Alex Martini join us to talk about their plans with the franchise, what differs from Project Cars, what will improve and what is unique, especially in regards in trying to give an almost equal experience on current gen consoles as well, without watering down the experience compared to the PC version and what it means for a sim racer to rely on the Giant engine which was previously exclusively used for Farming Simulator. This and more is discussed in this pretty frank interview! The interview starts at minute 23:54
