Project CARS 2 is a racing game built around variety: its roster includes more than 180 race and road cars, while its motorsport selection adds IndyCar, oval racing and rallycross alongside established disciplines such as GT3. Career progression is derived from real-world racing, giving the game a broader structure than a single-series focus. The range of cars and competition types frames its approach to motorsport.
Changing conditions are central to its driving design. Dynamic surface and weather physics affect vehicle performance and handling in real time, and the game features loose-surface racing on ice, dirt and mud. A full 24-hour cycle, real-time atmospheric conditions and seasonal ambience shape the environments. Its handling is described as tuned for a true-to-life feel, while support for gamepads and a wide range of wheels offers different control options.
Project CARS 2 supports single-player and multiplayer, including online PvP. The feature set also includes VR support and online championships, complementing its range of motorsport disciplines without changing the central focus on racing across cars and conditions.
