2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5.R Comes To Project Motor Racing October 31, 2025 When Corvette Racing rolled its “Millennium Yellow” C5.Rs to the grid in 2004, the brief was simple: win everything left to win, then hand a clean baton to the incoming C6.R.

The Porsche 962C Comes To Project Motor Racing October 30, 2025 By 1988, the Porsche 962C—the Group C evolution of the Porsche 956—was a fully matured Le Mans missile with two Le Mans wins in its trophy cabinet. The works squad built a fresh chassis, 962 010, specifically for the 1988 24 Hours, and it delivered the (almost) full works—pole (3:15.6), fastest lap (3:22.5), and P2 overall.

Sebring International Raceway Comes To Project Motor Racing October 28, 2025 Born on the concrete runways of Hendricks Army Airfield, Sebring is a 17-turn, 3.74-mile (6.019-km) endurance crucible—flat, fast (in the places that matter), and ruthlessly brutal. The circuit occupies part of the still-active Sebring Regional Airport, giving it that unmistakable aerodrome character, and hosts IMSA’s Twelve Hours of Sebring.

2023 Cadillac V-Series.R Comes To Project Motor Racing October 24, 2025 Cadillac’s modern prototype comeback arrived in 2023 with the V-Series.R—a Dallara-built LMDh/Hypercar starring a thunderous, naturally aspirated 5.5L DOHC V8 (Cadillac LMC55R) paired to the class-standard hybrid unit.

1989 Audi 90 IMSA GTO October 23, 2025 When Audi pointed its all-wheel-drive guns at IMSA’s GTO class for 1989, it built a silhouette monster that felt like Group B had just crashed an American GT party. The Audi 90 IMSA GTO kept the road-car outline, but underneath it was all race car—spaceframe bones, a turbo five, and the rally-proven quattro AWD putting down over 700bhp of skreiching power.

IMSA GTO Comes To Project Motor Racing October 21, 2025 By the late 1980s, IMSA GTO (Grand Touring Over 2.5L) had become America’s loudest GT arms race featuring a dayglo cast of tube-frame silhouettes with massive bodywork, colossal turbos, grunting V8s and stern factory muscle all mixed in with thunder, flares, and a rulebook on the absolute ragged edge of sanity.

The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is in Project Motor Racing October 10, 2025 When the storm clouds rolled over Silverstone last February and the covers finally slipped off Aston Martin’s latest GT3 weapon, no one was left in any doubt about its intent. Six years after the Vantage GT3, Gaydon delivered a machine that wedded true-and-tested brutish twin-turbo violence to a wind-tunnel carved silhouette as slippery as air.

Bathurst Comes to Project Motor Racing October 08, 2025 Carved into the slopes above Bathurst, New South Wales, Mount Panorama is 6.213 km of contradictions: a public road that becomes one of the world’s greatest circuits, with 23 corners, a 174 m vertical swing, and gradients as steep as 1:6.13.

The Acura NSX GT3 Evo22 Comes to Project Motor Racing October 03, 2025 So let’s get history out of the way.

The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Spec Car Comes To Project Motor Racing September 29, 2025 Like the daddy of all spec racing (SCCA’s Sports Renault started in 1984, if you’re counting, though there can be a claim for the ’66 Renault Gordinis)—there’re two things about this kind of racing that matter most: momentum … and the car.

The Mazda 787B Comes To Project Motor Racing September 24, 2025 First things first: there’s never going to be a moment, anywhere, anytime, when you drive this legend and think to yourself, “I need more RPM”.

The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) Comes To Project Motor Racing September 19, 2025 Built for customer-racing, the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) was defined by purpose. Development began in 2019, debut was at Spa in 2022, and Porsche rolled their new GT3 out for global GT3 duty in 2023: from IMSA and SRO series to national championships, with Le Mans eligibility from 2024.

The 1998 Panoz Esperante GTR-1 Comes to Project Motor Racing September 17, 2025 In the predatory world of sleek, mid-engined prototypes of the late 1990s, Panoz decided to go old school rebellion with the Esperante GTR-1 that hit the scene in 1997 like a battering ram—front-engined American V8 fury wrapped in carbon fibre and ground-juddering defiance. It didn’t just race. It made the ground shake.

IMSA Comes To Project Motor Racing September 10, 2025 IMSA—the International Motor Sports Association—was (legend has it) born on the back of a napkin at the 1969 Daytona 500 week. What was on the menu that night may have been lost to the vagaries of time, but over dinner, Bill France Sr. (NASCAR founder) took one look at former SCCA boss John Bishop and his wife, Peggy Bishop’s, hastily scrawled plan to unify American road-racing and wrote a personal cheque on the spot for 75% of stock. The Bishops, meanwhile, would run the new sanctioning body that was incorporated on June 23, 1969.

The Porsche 911 GT1 98 Comes To Project Motor Racing September 04, 2025 Through 1996–’97, Porsche’s GT1s were still tube-frame, 911-homologation specials: mid-engined (yes, the lump was ahead of the rear axle), carbon-bodied, steel spaceframe with production-car DNA to satisfy GT rules.

Spa Francorchamps Comes to Project Motor Racing August 29, 2025 Tucked into Belgium’s Ardennes Forest, Spa Francorchamps is fast, flowing, and a forever reminder of why we love motorsport. At 7.004 km (half the size of the original layout), it’s a long lap—a sinuous ribbon where you’ll have plenty of time to understand why this circuit rewards commitment and punishes hesitation. Nineteen corners, more than 100 meters of elevation change, and straights long enough to make setup engineers sweat—this is the circuit where a driver’s nerve and a team’s judgment are tested like nowhere else.

The 2004 Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT Comes to Project Motor Racing August 15, 2025 By the early noughties, Lamborghini’s history in motorsport had been a spotty affair. The 2004 Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT, however, signalled a turning point in the brand’s modern racing journey.

Circuit Zolder Comes to Project Motor Racing July 04, 2025 Circuit Zolder, barely 60 minutes east of Brussels and hidden among the poplars and greenery of Limburg province, is the antithesis of Belgium’s other motorsport icon, Spa-Francorchamps, which has always imposed its shadow over Zolder’s fortunes.

GT4 In Project Motor Racing: The global Gateway To GT Racing June 30, 2025 GT4 is a homologated category for production-based grand-tourer cars. Introduced in 2007, the class was conceived as an affordable, amateur-friendly counterpart to GT3, using road-car shells, stock powertrains and tightly limited aero. Today a new GT4 must pass the same safety audit as any GT3, but its technical freedom is intentionally narrower, and the homologation is frozen for several seasons to curb costs.

YOUR MOTORSPORT CAREER IN PROJECT MOTOR RACING June 24, 2025 Whenever you’re given a blank slate to design a feature-length mode from scratch, simply looking across the aisle and copying someone else’s homework isn’t going to win you a lot of new fans.

The Panoz LMP-1 Roadster S Comes to Project Motor Racing June 04, 2025 Forget what you think you know about prototypes.

The Lola T70 Mk3B GT Comes to Project Motor Racing May 29, 2025 The Lola T70 Mk3B GT needs no introduction to motorsport enthusiasts.

The Marcos Mantara LM600 Comes to Project Motor Racing May 23, 2025 In the early 2000s, a dark horse rolled out of a paddock with a nose bent like a pugilist spaceship, a soundtrack straight out of a rock(et) concert, and with about as much visibility from the cockpit as you’d ever need (if you spent most of your time with your eyes wide-shut!).

The Audi R8 LMP900 Comes to Project Motor Racing May 20, 2025 When it comes to legends, the 2002 Audi R8 (LMP900) doesn’t just enter the conversation—it owns it.

N-GT Comes to Project Motor Racing April 24, 2025 Let’s start at the start—an intro to what many remember fondly as one of the finest racing classes in GT racing history. To start with, the “N” was for National, and the purpose of N-GT was to entice smaller, near-production GT cars (akin to today’s GT2) to enter endurance racing at reduced cost. That formula inspired a handful of “smaller” manufactures to test their mettle against the established big predators (Porsche and Ferrari and BMW): manufacturers like Gillet, Mosler, Morgan, and TVR, each bringing their own unique ideas, colour, and perspectives to GT racing.

The 2004 Morgan Aero 8 Comes to Project Motor Racing April 23, 2025 In the early 2000s, the Morgan Motor Company, renowned for its classic British sports cars, embarked on an ambitious journey into the realm of endurance racing with the introduction of the “Aero 8 GTN”.

Its front-mid engine, RWD layout exemplifies TVR’s daring engineering spirit.

The 2004/’05 GT Class Comes to Project Motor Racing March 31, 2025 The 2004/’05 GT Championship stands out as the sunset of an era that epitomized the raw thrill and camaraderie of GT racing. By 2006, the GT series was already on its way to being replaced by GT3, and by 2009, a decade of brawn and beauty would be consigned to the history books. All that remains now of that fabulous period in GT racing are the memories—and a little sim racing title made by many of the same folk who are developing Project Motor Racing all these years later.

The 2004 Mosler MT900R Comes to Project Motor Racing March 21, 2025 The 2004 Mosler MT900R was a track-focused weapon that combined a lightweight body with a 5.7L GM-sourced LS1 V8 engine.
