The streamlined car classes, however, are a massive letdown – and some are just an absolute mess. “In terms of those car and track combinations, beyond a handful of inclusions and omissions, things haven’t drastically changed from Project CARS 2. However, they don’t really quite feel like the right tools for the job for what’s essentially now a quickfire couch racer.

There’s less invisible handholding with a wheel, which requires smoother inputs and more delicate throttle to prevent spearing off track, and both wheels I tested were pleasingly plug-and-play and free of the settings nightmares that plague the likes of Assetto Corsa Competizione. It’s certainly not what I was expecting and it feels like much of the nuance between the cars I tested is now gone. The simple, arcade-inspired feel is fun enough to hustle through circuits with for a while, but I’m not hooked. It’s accessible and forgiving, and you can handily out-brake the AI by overdriving into the corners and trusting the boosted braking to pull you up just in time for turn in. Grippy up front, loose at the rear, and hard-braking, Project CARS 3 feels surprisingly like Grid on a gamepad. For better or for worse, Slightly Mad Studios has reinvented Project CARS as a mainstream, casual-friendly racer. It is radically different to Project CARS 2, to the point where it feels like an entirely different game. Pinball WizardOn the topic of tyres, of course, is where the rubber meets the road: Project CARS 3’s handling. I will say the choice of tyres is awesome, though – I wish all racers had such an extensive selection of brand-name tyres. Visual customisation doesn’t offer the same freedom as the deep, custom livery editors available in GT Sport, the Forza series, or Need for Speed it’s more in line with Grid or Driveclub, with pre-set patterns and decals to choose from. Tuning feels pretty tangential this time around anyway the AI can be generally thumped without any tweaking.

Upgrading cars opens up tuning options, but you need to pay in-game credits to unlock tuning slots to create new set-ups, which feels like a bizarre piece of mobile design airdropped into a PC and console game. Road cars can also be turned into race cars via a race modification feature, the kind you may recall from the original Gran Turismo games (or the ‘Works Upgrade’ option in the Need for Speed Shift games). Stuffing enough upgrades into a Tommi Mäkinen Edition Lancer that it can go toe-to-toe with a Bugatti Chiron has a certain charm to it reminiscent of the original Gran Turismo and the great many games it subsequently inspired, but it feels pretty weird in what used to be a realistic love letter to the otherwise regulated world of authentic racing.

It borders on pointless unless you’ve also got the adequate driver level and cash to splurge on an eligible car, but with enough upgrades even entry-level cars can compete and win in the top tiers. Access to higher tiers requires a lot of completed objectives, though you can also buy your way directly into tiers with in-game cash. It is arguably a better solution than conventional racing lines but the braking markers are regularly too cautious considering how effectively overpowered the braking seems. Corners are now marked with digital indicators for entry, apex, and exit à la GT Sport, though that can be toggled off. Others are often related to perfecting corners, Project Gotham-style. Some combine drafting and overtaking, but I can never get those ones to register. Some are overtaking quotas and some are drafting challenges. Each event has a trio of objectives to meet in order to unlock further events, many of which are straightforward enough to be completed without really paying attention to them.
