CANT WAIT! Go Project CARS!!

GO GO PROJECT CARS! Cant wait for the seasons to begin

This is going to be EPIC! Looking forward to Project Cars and next year.

not a smart move but we will find out soon...

I too have worries about whether or not the platform will work on consoles for multiplayer. I do agree that the game provides great potential for the GT/ISCC/TEC series, but we were in the exact same position exactly one year ago with Forza 5, and look how that turned out.

I personally would have waited until somebody actually played the game themselves on the console, but nonetheless, I look forward to it.

If only the american manufacturers were included in the game, it would be sweet. My other thing is that if GT is dropped from Forza completely, and american manufacturers aren't included in the game, teams like VSRT and the virtual vette team will have to go somewhere else to race.

Oh hey, does that mean they added customizable paint to the game? Because that's also about 50% of what makes TORA "click".

apparently they are adding it later? won't be there at launch

Sorry, I should probably clarify/tone it down a little.

I'm not necessarily trying to preach "DOOM! GLOOM! HORRIBLE THINGS!" I just want to advise caution about jumping head-first into an unproven game from an unproven developer. If you said "We will start with a test GT series and a test TEC event, and go from there" I wouldn't be nearly as weary.

However, starting out the announcement with "**** FORZA! We have something we think might possibly be better!" isn't a great thing, only to weave in basically how the whole direction of the site will be force-fed into a game where the only 'credentials' the developers have is...Need for Speed Shift.

If the game turns out good (or better, at least, than Forza 4) then I'll somewhat eat-crow and follow suit. But guys, dumping all your chips onto the table over this is really scary.

Oh yeah, British GT. At least that suits a good chunk of the demographic regardless of the quality.

Just to clarify, we won't be abandoning our friends at Turn 10.

You just did by saying your moving those series to a game that no one has played on the console.

Only time will tell if this proves to be a good move or not.

I say screw Turn 10. They had the opportunity to wow us with Forza 5, And it turned out to be Forza 4 with some polish slapped on. I only play the damn game as it currently has no competition on the console.

Obviously only time will tell if Project Cars is the right step forward, But hell at least their trying to cater towards league gamers on consoles.

+1 Maynard!!

Project cars looks to be what FM5 should have been!! Slightly Mad are no mugs! Im sure this is the correct move!

Ahhhh. My days are running out.

Absolutely wicked! Can't wait!

Just to point out Daytona will be DLC and Nissan hasn't been licensed yet, its a big mystery regarding them

Myles when will the 1st bits of DLC be realised?

When it's ready

I like that answer

Has anyone at TORA ever heard of the word patience??

12 months ago, Forza 5 and you chuck everything in to the next generation console, and ended up looking rather silly really. Now granted we were all disappointed at the initial release, and its understandable why, it was pretty clear that Turn 10 had been shafted by Microsoft and simply didnt have enough time to put the game together, but now after the extra work thats been going in, its a decent game, it still has plenty of issues, but anyone expecting miracles and there best experience from day one were living in la la land.

Even to this day, your Forza 4 series have more competitors than your Forza 5 events and i understand that Forza 4 will be coming to an end, i know i personally have decided that a series im currently running in will probably be my last. Added to that the extreme difficulty in car matching which has seen a massive slump in a couple of the TORA showpiece series, as you have had to stick with Forza 4, but its not just here where the numbers are low, the other big site has seen a massive drop as well and the smaller sites have all pretty much disappeared now, alot of Forza users two years ago have headed down the sim market, including three of our team, which is only small, but they weighed up the options and that was the direction they went in.

So today you announce your 2015 plans for a couple of your showpieces series, on a game thats not out for another six weeks, is a complete unknown for the vast majority on the Xbox market and yet again, everyone seems to be expecting the perfect game with no issues and now the hopes are all up expecting TORA to deliver the perfect series in evenly matched cars, with day / night conditions. A game thats the first edition of hopefully a long franchise, and its certainly aiming high, the day night cycles, the weather is all new territory, we havent a clue on how the cars will work in a multi make series, How those subtle differences will translate across. We know theres no painting on the consoles, which fair enough, im a painter myself and i would rather have a game in which the extra time goes on the actual racing than how pretty you can make the car look. I also havent a clue or heard anything about the potential media options available, what about replays, we take them for granted and having been unfortunate to be involved in the Mini Spec Series, which had basically turned in to mini stox racing by round three and nothing you can do as there was no proof.

So whats the benefits of announcing these series at this point in time? Why take such a risk when these series arent going to start before 2015, granted, perhaps taking a small risk after further investigations, playable demo, or even the same week as release when a few of you can get in a locked lobby and test a few things out, to see what is available, what may work, what wont work. As a teaser for an upcoming series, even the first week in January start, we are talking three months and no builds for at least two months as im assuming you will be testing. Do you hope to encourage people to buy the Xbox One? Having worked in a few different areas of the media, im really struggling to find a benefit to such an early announcement, when you have extremely limited facts, a whole host of maybe's that need to be answered and having failed to deliver last year, because it wasnt possible, why run that risk again.

Sorry about the long winded answer and these are just my opinions as a forty year old man and im not wanting to come across too negative, i too am hopefully that Project CARS can deliver and make the online experience a whole lot better, i have mine on pre order, will be buying every dlc and will be looking forward to logging the laps, but im also realistic and know you can build a house on optimism and dreams, you need concrete foundations before building and that simply isnt available yet. .

Going to love TEC
I call dibs on coms for Bathurst!
Should be going to the real thing next year so can get some more knowledge

I can't wait for TORA 2015 hoping I can race it

Wheelwash, you said it best.

While Cars may uproot Forza, it also may fall flat. We dont know anything, and an announcement like this wasn't a smart move. especially since it already provided incorrect information.

We've considered that in our own discussions which is why we're not announcing actual calendars or confirmed car lists. The release indicates the races we plan to run and describes the cars that exist in the real British GT series and are either confirmed because they are present in game now or are anticipated. The only GT3 car noticeably absent is the 458 GT3.
Soundwave, I don't see what information you consider to be incorrect? If you'd like to discuss it further feel free to PM me
