Project Cars review – a strikingly authentic simulation

Slight Mad Studios has upped the ante on the modern driving sim experience with this thrilling, single-minded racer

The wait has been long. Delayed more times than Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes contract renewal, Project Cars has finally arrived on the starting grid with a clear desire to make up for lost time.

Driving sim fans have been waiting months to hear the roar of this game's superbly sampled engines, and that's been hard - particularly for PS4 owners, who haven't yet had a proper racing simulation to play on their 18-month-old machine. Fortunately, Slightly Mad Studios, a specialist in this most demanding of genres, has ensured that the end result has justified its late arrival.
