Project Motor Racing aiming to release ‘2.0’ redemption patch this month

• ‘2.0’ patch coming to PMR this March
• Game-wide physics, graphics, online, single-player and optimisation improvements expected
• Japanese GT500 Pack slated for release ‘end of March’
• Will include current-gen GT500 cars and 2003 AJGTC cars, including Toyota GR Supra and fourth-gen Supra, respectively

The team behind Project Motor Racing has outlined its hopes to release a ‘2.0’ patch for the game this month, delivering a ‘significant update’ for the beleaguered sim.

PMR received an overwhelmingly negative response from critics and fans upon its unveiling in November last year, with a series of post-release patches going some way toward addressing several issues with the game, including its physics, graphical optimisation, and track cut system.

This week, developer Straight4 Studios also released a free 2013 Ford Falcon V8 Supercar for all players by way of an apology, with a newsletter today (5th March 2026) outlining what players should expect to see from the game’s next major update, stating, “At the end of March, we’ll be delivering a really significant update aimed at resetting PMR’s foundation and bringing the sim much closer to what a serious motorsport title should feel like”.

First of all, the new tyre model implemented within the GT3 and GT4 categories will be spread further through the game, with more visual and performance tweaks set to improve the overall experience.

PMR’s single-player career, which was hyped to mimic a real-world motorsport journey, will also be updated alongside its online modes. Exact details on what these changes will look like has yet to be revealed, but more information is expected soon.

A new fictional track, High Rock Circuit, will also be released to the game’s ModHub for free, with the game’s first DLC also set to drop.

Project Motor Racing’s first DLC

Project Motor Racing’s first DLC will be the Japanese GT500 Pack, which is also due at the end of March.

This represents something of a coup for Straight4, as this will add the most recent GT500 Super GT cars to the game, the only modern sim to officially do so.

The Japanese GT500 Pack will add five current top-class Super GT cars to PMR, plus four classic cars from the 2003 grid, perhaps the series’ most recognisable era. 

The fourth-generation Toyota GR Supra from 2003, when the series was known as the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, was teased in a screenshot, running alongside the current-gen GR Supra.

Regarding other pack contents, both the Honda NSX and Nissan Skyline GT-R could be part of the 2003 lineup, while multiple modern cars from Honda, Nissan and Toyota are also possible, although the exact models have not been confirmed.

However, Straight4 could choose from the Honda Civic Type R, Honda HRC Prelude, Honda NSX-R, Nissan Z and Nissan Z Nismo from recent seasons.

All DLC cars will feature PMR’s latest physics and tyre model updates from the outset, with an unnamed Japanese track also forming part of the DLC.
