Druckbare Version
Ein sehr gutes Racing Simulations Game aus dem Hause Slightlymad Studios.
Website: Project CARS - Home
folgend ein kurzer Clip meinerseits, wobei mein "in die Jahre gekommenes System" nun so ziemlich am Limit des Machbaren in Sachen Performance der aktuellen Games angekommen ist. Das merkt man stark zusätzlich bei Aufnahmen, wie diesem Video. Mit aktuellen preislich ab der mittleren Kategorie erhältlichen PC-Komponenten sieht die Grafik bedeutend besser aus.
