Weather and time of day can play a big part in the outcome of a race, too. The result is exciting, tense racing at all times. It gives racing room, but will trade paint where necessary. The AI can be as aggressive as you choose (there is a separate aggression setting alongside difficulty) but it rarely actually does anything that could be considered as dirty. Once I found the sweet spot in terms of difficulty settings, I loved battling for position in every single race. The improved handling obviously helped, but the racing itself is incredible. Whenever I was on the track, though, I fell a little more in love with Project CARS 3. It can just feel a little grindy, at times. You can at least continue earning XP outside of the career, so anything earned in custom events will be deposited into your overall account, to keep your career moving forward. Completing objectives, as well as reaching milestones, will earn bonus XP too, so itвЂ™s always flowing.

You earn money as you go, but a lot of it comes from improving your driver level with XP earned from your performance. It takes a while to amass any real fortune, which highlights the long-winded nature of career mode. It doesnвЂ™t come cheap, though, and youвЂ™ll still need to buy/upgrade vehicles to meet the entry requirements, but itвЂ™s a nice gesture nonetheless. However, in a bid to remain accessible, it is entirely possible to use your in-game credit to buy access to any locked event or series. Each event has three objectives, and although theyвЂ™re optional, completing them will help to unlock further events and tiers as you progress.

Certain events require specific cars, whether it be a particular model or one from a certain country or time period, which is where the variety comes in.

You will need to try new cars throughout the career, though. Or simply buy a new car, building your own garage of vehicles for each class of racing.

You can upgrade it however you choose, from new tyres to a complete racing conversion, even add your own custom livery (again, another first for the series), and take that road car into the GT series. Much like Slightly Mad StudiosвЂ™ earlier work on Need for Speed Shift, youвЂ™ll start your racing journey in a road car. The career mode is far more varied, and thereвЂ™s a focus on actually being able to properly upgrade your car for the first time in the Project CARS series. It isnвЂ™t just the handling that has had a complete overhaul, either. After switching it off, I could see and feel the carвЂ™s back end kicking out, but I can better control it now. In Project CARS 3, you feel the car rotating into corners more effectively while using it, but sometimes coming with a slight loss of speed. Stability Control, for example, is usually something I personally use as IвЂ™ve struggled with oversteer in the past. Every vehicle feels tameable, and assists are there to help if youвЂ™re struggling in any particular aspect of driving. The twitchiness is gone entirely, with steering feeling smooth and precise, whether played with a wheel or controller. Make a mistake and it may still punish you severely, but it is far more accessible than ever before. I wonвЂ™t pretend that this suddenly makes Project CARS 3 easy. It turned off a number of players, which is probably why the developer decided to overhaul the handling model for the seriesвЂ™ third outing. They werenвЂ™t impossible to play, of course, but they were overly twitchy and it was a big problem. The previous games were excellent, but they were designed entirely around steering wheels and while that isnвЂ™t necessarily a bad thing, it totally alienated those playing with a controller.

Right from the start, Slightly Mad StudiosвЂ™ new handling model feels great.

There are still more games coming, and Project CARS 3 is just the latest in a stellar line-up. 2020 has been terrible in most ways, but racing game fans have had so many rays of light. What a year it has been for racing games.
