Upcoming sim racing game Project Motor Racing continues to play the nostalgia card as a quartet of models is unveiled.
On the confirmed list, two further Nissans and BMWs have now been added to the car roster.
Nissan R390 GT1
Pair Japanese engineering with the might of race-winning team Tom Walkinshaw Racing, and you should have a 24 Hours of Le Mans victory.
It didn’t quite, happen, however, with the all-Japanese driver lineup of Aguri Suzuki, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Masahiko Kageyama claiming third in 1998.
This car was teased today (16th November 2025) on the Project Motor Racing social media channels. The interior shot showcases the distinct instruments and right-hand-drive layout of the R390, which shared a cockpit and roof with the Jaguar XJR-15.
Nissan 300 ZX Turbo GTO 1989
The 1989 IMSA GTO season was dominated by quattro, as Audi’s all-wheel-drive 90 took seven class victories. But the plucky 300ZX of Steve Millen, run by Cunningham Racing, sneaked one victory in at Road America.
This 860bhp sports car was announced for Project Motor Racing as part of the complete GTO class roster.
BMW V12 LMR 1999
Following the current GTP/LMDh machine and the M8 GTE, the BMWs are now flowing, with the confirmation of this 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning V12 LMR completing the LMP in-game class.
Using a modified version of the engine the German brand developed for the McLaren F1, and with the help of Williams (yes, that Williams), Joachim Winkelhock, Pierluigi Martini and Yannick Dalmas won the French classic. Then, BMW decided to focus on Formula 1 instead, so it didn’t return to defend the victory – although this car would get one last season in the 2000 American Le Mans Series.
BMW M3 GTR
A curio, this was built to take Porsche on, and it did so by finding a loophole in the homologation rules. In effect, BMW made the perfect race car, then made just ten ‘Strassenversions’ to appease rule makers.
After a dominant 2001 season, the rules were changed, and that was mostly it for the GTR. It was allowed to race at the Nürburgring 24 hours, winning twice.
This was one of the first models teased for Project Motor Racing, when it was initially called GT Revival, and now the model has come full circle by being included in the final game. As it is racing the Gillet Vertigo in the game (main article image), it would suggest that it will be in the N-GT class.
Project Motor Racing is set for a 25th November release on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. These new models join the recently teased Lotus Elise GT1.
