Project CARS is a game developed by Slightly Mad Studio (creator of Shift series and GTR). Based on realistic physics and outstanding graphics.
As this project is on the initial stage of development, all seen footage is pre-alpha.
This project is currently funded by SMS under World Mass Development. WMD is a platform that let the community join the project as investors and tester.
