• V8 Power Pack — Track Intro - 18 September 2026

  Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta has always been slightly improbable, right from the off when, in 1969, three fellas named Earl Walker, David Sloyer, and Arthur Montgomery set out to build a world-class road-racing circuit on farmland in Hall County, Georgia. Dead-bang centre in the heart of stock-car country.In terms of crazy ideas, this one was right up there with the best of ’em. The general view at the time was that it would take nothing short of a miracle to make this idea stick.And that’s precisely what happened in 1970. But let’s back up a bit and talk about space.The Final FrontierSpace as in 750 acres of farmland near Braselton, GA, where our three heroes decided to tattoo a track into Georgia clay.And space, as in Earl Walker’s job prior to his return to Georgia. Walker was an aeronautical engineer who’d served time working in Alabama on Chrysler’s contribution to NASA’s Saturn I…

• V8 Power Pack — Class Intro - 17 September 2026

  Australian touring-car racing has never really needed much encouragement to start an argument. Ford versus Chevrolet. Blue versus red. Families divided. Sunday barbie ruined. Hot tears and cold beers.The AUS V8 EVO cars in the V8 Power Pack now bring that argument straight into the modern era.Introduced in 2023, this new generation of Aussie V8s was designed to move away from ever-increasing aero dependence and put more emphasis back onto mechanical grip, braking, throttle control and—yup, you guessed it—the driver.The cars became lighter, aerodynamic load was reduced, and both manufacturers arrived with new naturally aspirated V8 race-engine packages producing around 600 hp, without TC or ABS.The two engines, however, take very different routes to the same performance target: Chevrolet with a 5.7-litre pushrod V8, and Ford with its smaller but more complex 5.4-litre quad-cam Coyote, al…

• V8 Power Pack - 15 September 2026

  Turn up the volume, and make it loud!This pack delivers nine legendary V8 race cars across three classes, spanning modern Australian touring-car muscle, current American machinery, and the raw roots of historic US road racing, all racing together at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.Across all three classes, the appeal is simple: big V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and no traction control, ABS, or electronic aids. The pack takes players from the heroic days of American muscle-car road racing through purpose-built modern USV8 machinery and into contemporary AUS V8 Evo competition – all with the driver firmly at the centre of the experience.Watch the launch trailer hereTurning Up the Volume: The V8 Power PackThere are subtle ways to go racing. The V8 Power Pack is not one of them.Historic US V8. Modern US V8. Australian heroics.Different decades. Different philosophies. Same basic recipe: take on…

• V8 Power Pack — Class Intro - 14 September 2026

  Historic USV8 was Detroit warfare conducted with acid baths, homologation specials, and a fairly relaxed interpretation of the phrase “production based”. All governed by a rulebook that sometimes seemed more an invitation to creative interpretation than an exercise in enforcement.In 2011, a new cost-controlled V8 class arrived in American road racing, built around a very different philosophy. The lesson from the old days was simple: control the variables, control the costs, and leave fewer places to hide an unfair advantage.The formula centres on tightly controlled tube-frame chassis, approved constructors, controlled components and tightly managed performance. All designed to keep costs down and the racing close.In Project Motor Racing, all three USV8 cars use the same naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 package restricted to around 500 horsepower and 657 lb-ft of torque, along with a fou…

• V8 Power Pack — Class Intro - 10 September 2026

  Welcome to the Historic USV8 cars featured in the V8 Power Pack. Detroit’s Golden Age of Creative Engineering.By the end of the 1960s, America’s premier production-based road-racing series had become a delightfully inventive exercise in taking something that resembled the car in your neighbour’s driveway and asking how much of it could be reworked before scrutineers started reaching for rulebooks and slide rules. The answer, of course, was—a lot.Get to know these legendary cars in this blog.1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28Roger Penske and Mark Donohue had already established the Camaro as the benchmark car by 1969 on the back of Chevrolet’s ’68 manufacturers’ title in a season that featured Donohue’s 10 race wins.The secret of success? Let’s put it down to some creative rule interpretations. The ’69 Camaro coming to Project Motor Racing is the evolution of that legendary, dominant ’68 Camaro.…

• ModHub Showcase - 21 August 2026

  Apex Nova, The Racing Venue is Available Now on the ModHub.Inspired by the response to Highrock, Tomas Trlica is back with his new track, “Apex Nova, The Racing Venue”, a fictional circuit built to be longer, faster, and considerably less interested in forgiving your mistakes.Taking inspiration from the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Apex is narrow, unforgiving, and almost entirely lacking in runoff. Designed primarily with faster machinery such as JP1, LMDh and Group C in mind.Apex Nova features four layouts:Short – 5 KM (3.1 MI)Medium – 7 KM (4.3 MI)Long – 8.5 KM (5.2 MI)Full – 11.6 KM (7.2 MI) Despite the distance, Apex is seriously quick. A lap of the full 11.6 km layout takes around four minutes in a GT3 car. Watch a full lap in the video belowFour layouts. One very fast fictional circuit. Very little room for error.Get it for free in the ModHub for Project Motor Racing. Accessible via…

• Project Motor Racing — Version 2.2 - 19 August 2026

  Version 2.2 for Project Motor Racing is now live, bringing a major first-stage rework of the LMDh class alongside a wide range of stability improvements, bug fixes, and further development of VR and Triple Screen support.The primary focus of Version 2.2 is stability and refinement, with fixes and improvements across multiple areas of the sim.VR and Triple Screen support also take an important step forward. Previously, both features required specific command-line instructions to enable while they remained in an experimental Alpha state. With Version 2.2, that is no longer necessary: both features have now moved into Beta and are available by default through the settings menu on PC.The headline change, however, is the extensive rework of the LMDh class.LMDh Class ReworkVersion 2.2 introduces the first major iteration of our wider LMDh overhaul, laying the technical foundation for further…

• Aussie Rivals Pack - 29 July 2026

  Back in March of this year, we released the Ford Falcon FG for free for all players. But something was missing.So now, along with Update 2.1 the Holden Commodore VF joins Project Motor Racing as part of the free Aussie Rivals Pack bringing one of touring car racing’s great rivalries to the grid: Ford versus Holden.Now reunited under the "Aussie Rivals Pack" free DLC, the Holden Commodore VF enters the fight in Project Motor Racing to face off against its blue oval rival.This is a proper red-blooded touring car: a 5L Chevy V8 up front, drive to the rear, and enough attitude to turn every corner exit into a protracted negotiation about survival. Built for the Car of the Future era, it thrives on heavy braking, committed rotation, and precise throttle control when the tyres are loaded and the kerbs start fighting back.Alongside the GT3 and GT4 overhaul in Update 2.1, the AUS V8 class also…
