GIANTS Software and Straight4 Studios have launched Project Motor Racing today on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, introducing what they claim is a first for sim racing: full mod support across all platforms from day one. The title arrives with 70 cars spanning 13 legendary classes, 28 scanned track layouts, and community-created content already available through the integrated UGC Portal.
Console Mod Support Breakthrough
Project Motor Racing utilises the GIANTS Engine to enable creators to build and share content across both PC and consoles simultaneously. Using the official GIANTS Editor and integrated UGC Portal, modders can submit creations directly to the sim, breaking the traditional PC-exclusivity of racing sim modifications.
Launch day content includes custom liveries, optimised setups, and a full GTO 250 km at Daytona career recreation. Praga debuts as the first manufacturer joining post-launch UGC, adding the Bohema hypercar for free community download.
“By combining Straight4’s racing expertise with our proven modding ecosystem, we’re creating a platform that can grow, evolve, and stay authentic through its community,” explains Boris Stefan, CSO & Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software.
Authentic Motorsport Foundation
From LMDh prototypes to classic GT legends spanning 50 years of motorsport history, the roster features iconic machines from Audi, BMW, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Porsche, Toyota, and additional manufacturers. Tracks include Spa-Francorchamps, Daytona, Mount Panorama, and the Nürburgring (including Nordschleife), all featuring “True2Track” dynamic surface modelling where grip evolves corner by corner and lap by lap.
The 720 Hz simulation engine delivers handling and force feedback precision targeting serious sim racers, whilst adjustable AI, assist options, and optimised gamepad controls accommodate newcomers.
Career and Competition Modes
Single-player “Survival”-style career captures professional racing’s unforgiving nature, where blown budgets, repair bills, and failed overtakes can derail entire seasons. This high-stakes approach emphasises consequence-driven progression rather than guaranteed advancement.
Cross-play ranked online racing features physics parity across all platforms, no-fee custom lobbies, and dual leaderboard competition. This unified competitive environment prevents platform-based advantages whilst expanding matchmaking pools.
Development Philosophy
CEO Ian Bell contextualised the project: “Project Motor Racing was created by people who love this sport and shaped by a community that cares just as much. We hope it gives racers the same sense of connection and excitement it gave us.”
The collaboration between Straight4 Studios’ racing expertise and GIANTS Software’s modding infrastructure (proven through the Farming Simulator franchise) creates unusual synergy for sim racing development.
Future Content Roadmap
Free updates, premium packs, and Year 1 Season Pass will expand track, car, and manufacturer availability. Stefan positions this launch as “just the starting grid for our ambitions,” with commitment to establishing Project Motor Racing as a defining genre name.
Project Motor Racing targets sim racing enthusiasts seeking authentic motorsport with unprecedented console mod accessibility.
