question ... will a track editor ever be included?

Theres nothing concrete on that subject but they said they would like to support modding in the game.

Big news everyone, RUF just joined Project CARS!

Project CARS will include four of Ruf?s icnonic German sports cars, bringing both a true classic and three current RUF models to the title.

1987 RUF CTR ?Yellowbird?

Based on the Porsche 911 3.2, the 1987 CTR ?Yellowbird? is one of Ruf?s most iconic models.

2012 RUF CTR 3

20 years later, Ruf continued their famous CTR range with a new model as the third-generation CTR was unveiled in Bahrain in 2007.

2012 RUF Rt 12R

The Rt 12R is based on Porsche?s 997 platform as Ruf once again cut no corners to create a stunning driving machine.

2012 RUF RGT-8

Based on the brand new Porsche 991 model, the RGT-8 will be the first Porsche 911 body car to not be powered by the traditional flat six engine.

The developers also announced that they recently received a contact from a big German manufacturer interested in having their cars in Project CARS, the developers havnt said much more than this but the speculation is starting to rise @ the official forums !

More info @ the official website!

Im sure i just had 54 cars ( At least 40 ) and lots of fun, Parts Everywhere ! Only a little slowdown.

Hey there guys got some huge updates on Project CARS:

Project CARS funding had a huge boost recently and now they are almost ?150,000 from reaching the goal of ?3.75Million euros! No info has been released yet of what will happen when the value is reached but theres a big chance they will close the funding and also the access to the Pre-Alpha to those that havent registered yet!

Recently it was announced that a major German car manufacturer offered Slightly Mad Studios access to their vehicles, no info has been disclosed about who this manufacturer is but since RUF and BMW are in, it leaves us with Audi, Opel and Mercedes!

Also the 1980 Ford Capri Zakspeed Group 5 is almost ready to be ingame, according to the developers theres a high probability of having this beast ingame this week. Check the amazing looks of this car below, even in a pre-alpha state with missing textures and ambient occlusion it already looks amazing with such refined details like the fully modeled engine!

[MillionVoltss]

I did notice in the score boards some times from a Japanese car which isnt in the game

[carmatic]

i think i kind of like the 'CAD rendering' graphics style that im seeing in these screenshots... it gives the game a unique flavour compared to photorealistic games like the Forza or Grand Turismo series

[LeviathanPT]

Yes theres a Mitsubishi Lancer that they have been waiting for quite some time for reference images from the manufacturer and it arrived last week, but it will take a while until its ingame.

I can tell you that it is pretty amazing to see the progress on a car, they post every pic from just a bumper to the whole car done. Love it! :D

[Astra.Xtreme]

I am truly impressed how quickly they're adding cars to this game. Seems like every time I fire up the game, there's an update. :)

[LeviathanPT]

So true, and theres new info !!

The developers just released a preview of the wipers working on the Gumpert in a storm condition where you can see the rain drops being clean out of the windshield ! Looks amazing check it out here! (only for members)

Another member jumped into the trailer making bandwagon and made something pretty sweet . Check out "Drive it" by plm5!

Ooh, I'll make sure to hop on tonight, then! Would love to win a T500 RS. Shame at that price, it's not 360-compatible as well; if I won it, I'd be able to get rid of both my wheels then. :p

[Lingwo]

After weeks of saying i'm going to get it.

Finally paid for it. Went for the Full Member.

Hopefully dig out the G25 this weekend to give it a go.

[MightyJordan]

OK, set my time: 55.660. I'm 242nd, and the top time at the moment is 52.376. I'm struggling to combat the oversteer under braking; unfortunately, I know sweet F.A. about setups. :p

Thanks for the link. :) No one's put up a Florence Short setup yet, but it probably won't be too long.

[TheLegendOfMart]

56.162 is fastest I can do with 360 controller

<insert pic of 'i have no idea what im doing' dog here>

[LeviathanPT]

[G_0]

I know, but I still like to do the best that I can. It'll come in handy when the full game arrives. ;)

[Scorbing]

Impressive.

Sorry guys its over, the funding has reached the goal and from now on registrations are closed.

[MightyJordan]

It has? The progress bar on the forum doesn't look like it's 100%. Plus I saw a thread on there seeing if they could reach 4 million Euros by Christmas, so I assumed that was their target (meaning they'd still be just over a quarter-of-a-million Euros away).

[LeviathanPT]

Nah 4 Millions target was something that a community member was asking for :p

Theres still 1,910? left in the bar but its just for Juniors that might want to upgrade and didnt had the chance to do so. But the target was achieved.

[TruckWEB]

So they don't accept money anymore.... That's special... I created my forum account a couple of days ago and wanted to contribute but guess I'm too late now.

I'll keep playing Forza... LOL...

[LeviathanPT]

If you created the account you might be able to upgrade still, but im not sure since i cant try it.
