A new chapter in the world of simulation racing is set to unfold with Project Motor Racing (PMR), a highly anticipated title from the team behind the acclaimed Project CARS series and the earlier GTR games. This latest venture, developed by Straight4 Studios, harks back to the golden era of GT racing in the mid-2000s. The game promises to feature iconic vehicles from 2004 and 2005, including some of the most celebrated GT1-class racers. While it remains unclear whether PMR has secured rights to use the FIA GT Championship name, grids, and calendars, recent screenshots offer tantalizing hints at what fans can expect.

The mid-2000s marked the twilight years of the prestigious GT1 class, an era dominated by roaring V12 engines and powerhouse sports cars. These were times when manufacturers poured significant resources into creating grid-topping machines like the Maserati MC12 and Aston Martin DBR9, alongside underdog privateer entries such as the Lister, Mosler, and Saleen. Among the newly confirmed vehicles for PMR is the Mosler MT900R, a Florida-built, Chevrolet V8-powered sports car that achieved notable success in global GT championships during its time.

Beyond the Mosler, glimpses of other legendary cars have emerged through recent updates. A distant view of the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT, the race-ready variant of Lambo’s flagship V12 supercar, adds to the excitement. Joining these are already announced models like the Lister Storm GTR, Saleen S7-R, and Gillet Vertigo. Although not yet visible in screenshots, the developers have teased additional icons of the era, including the Maserati MC12, Ferrari 550, and Dodge Viper, sparking hopes for their inclusion in the game.

While no new circuits have been unveiled in this announcement, players can look forward to familiar tracks such as Lime Rock Park, Sebring, Mosport Park, and Kyalami. Scheduled for release later this year on PC and current-generation consoles, PMR continues to generate buzz among racing enthusiasts. As development progresses, eyes remain peeled for further revelations regarding both car and track rosters.

This upcoming title not only revives memories of an exhilarating period in motorsport history but also sets the stage for immersive gameplay experiences. Fans eagerly anticipate the unveiling of more details, promising a thrilling journey through the high-octane world of retro GT racing.
