Latest Project Motor Racing update adds new GT4 tyre model and free V8 Supercar

• New PMR update adds 2013 Ford Falcon V8 Supercar for free
• New GT4 tyre model implemented, and BoP rebalanced

Another Project Motor Racing patch has been released, bringing the 2013 Ford Falcon V8 Supercar to the game as a free DLC.

The FG Falcon can be claimed from the “Downloadable Content” menu tab and respective storefronts, covering PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S versions.

Built to the series’ “New Generation V8 Supercar” regulations, the Falcon name would run until 2018, whereafter the Mustang would take its place. 

PMR’s latest update has also introduced a new GT4 tyre model, which includes a complete overhaul of the category’s Balance of Performance, with particular attention paid to aerodynamics.

Force Feedback changes have also taken place, with the N-GT, Sportscar 70, Group 5, LMDh and GT4 classes all rebalanced, with the game’s traction control system altered for GT3, GT4 and 992 Cup cars, allowing more aggressive downshift behaviours.

Developer Straight4 Studios has also integrated License Points in PMR’s Ranked Online mode, with a whole host of other minor fixes outlined in the changelog below.
