What's new 4

• – Version 2.3 primary focus is delivering further stability and improvements across multiple aspects of Project Motor Racing.
• – Highlighting this update is the addition of the Lamborghini Temerario to the base game, along with a new class.
• – Expanded supported to the ModHub, including multi-class support for Career Mode mods, along with enabling UDP telemetry on consoles.
• – Multiple fixes have been implemented based on community feedback, along with further vehicle and handling refinements. Don't worry, your previous custom setups still work.

Lamborghini Temerario 5

• – Lamborghini’s newest supercar comes to Project Motor Racing, complete with all its cutting-edge technology. At its heart is an all-new 4L twin-turbo V8 producing 789HP on its own and revving all the way to an extraordinary 10,000 RPM, backed up by three electric motors for around 907HP combined. All-wheel drive, hybrid punch, and race-engine revs in a road car. Pure Lamborghini energy.

• – In Project Motor Racing all its technical advances are simulated as accurately as possible. Its main party trick is the four-wheel steering. Constantly monitoring driver inputs and levels of grip, this system actively deploys phased steering when needed. Below 75 km/h, the rear wheels steer up to 3.0° in the opposite direction to the fronts, effectively shortening the wheelbase for tighter rotation through hairpins and low-speed complexes.
• – With it also comes the Track Day class as part of the base game content.
• – Watch the Lamborghini Temerario launch trailer below.

Visuals and Weather 4

• – Significant improvements have been made to rendering and weather systems.
• – The environmental lighting model now simulates solar intensity, colour temperature and sky-driven illumination throughout the full diurnal cycle. Smoother temporal transitions and improved low-light exposure provide stable visibility from sunrise through night racing, while preserving a natural atmospheric response.
• – Meanwhile changes made to tone-mapping has improves luminance mapping, contrast response and colour reproduction across the full dynamic range. Trackside detail remains legible in high-intensity skies, specular reflections, shadowed areas and headlight illumination, producing a more consistent visual reference.
• – Keep reading for the full patch notes.

What's new 5

• – Version 2.2.1.0 delivers the necessary content ahead of the release for the V8 Power Pack.
• – The V8 Power Pack delivers nine legendary V8 race cars across three classes, spanning modern Australian touring-car muscle, current American machinery, and the raw roots of historic US road racing, all racing together at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
• – Across all three classes, the appeal is simple: big V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and no traction control, ABS, or electronic aids. The pack takes players from the heroic days of American muscle-car road racing through purpose-built modern USV8 machinery and into contemporary AUS V8 Evo competition – all with the driver firmly at the centre of the experience.
• – The V8 Power Pack for Project Motor Racing releases on the 15th of September.

ICE: Smoother, More Responsive, More Predictable 7

Brake-by-Wire and Regeneration 8

• – The hybrid braking systems have received equally important changes.
• – ABS assist now works in both Safe Regen and Full Regen modes and is compatible with any level of regeneration being produced by the MGU.
• – Brake-by-wire functionality has also been improved with the result that, as MGU regenerates and vehicle speed and aerodynamic downforce change, the brake balance now changes dynamically in real time to compensate.
• – That behaviour reflects the way these systems operate under real regulations, where the relationship between friction braking and regenerative braking cannot simply remain fixed as the car’s operating conditions change.
• – The improved brake-by-wire system also remains compatible with ABS assist for players who choose to use it.
• – Regeneration itself is now also considerably more intelligent. MGU regeneration varies with speed and therefore with the changing aerodynamic load on the car. This helps prevent the unusual axle lockups that could previously occur under regeneration—particularly at the rear axle in LMDh machinery and the front axle in LMH machinery.
• – Regeneration also now responds to lateral G. If the driver is asking the tyres for a significant amount of cornering grip, for example, regenerative braking is adjusted to avoid unnecessarily destabilising the car.
• – The aim is for regen to behave as part of the overall vehicle dynamics rather than operating independently of what the tyres, brakes and aero are doing.

First Iteration of the New Tyre Model: 3 Compounds 4

• – LMDh also receives the first iteration of a new tyre model. There are now three compounds to choose from, but the differences between them are not primarily about creating large steps in outright grip.
• – Instead, the compounds vary mainly through internal heat generation and tyre pressure behaviour. Grip differences remain—as in the real world—relatively small.
• – The intention is for compound choice to become more relevant according to ambient temperature and track temperature, making tyre selection more about putting the tyre into the correct operating range than simply choosing the “compound with the most grip”.
• – This is the beginning of that work rather than the destination, and further compound development is already under development.

A New Aero Foundation 4

Chassis and Suspension 7

• – The chassis and suspension models have received their own first round of improvements alongside the tyre and aero work.
• – Updates include improved:
• –

  Centre of gravity

• –

  Vehicle inertias

• –

  Suspension geometry

• –

  Setup limits

• – Again, this is the first iteration of the new approach. The intention is to eventually move beyond a broad class-wide solution and develop more individual behaviour for the different LMDh and LMH cars.

What Comes Next 4

• – This update is the first pass, not the finished overhaul. There is already more work in development across virtually every part of the LMDh and LMH simulation.
• – Future development includes more precise ICE BoP power limitation, with the goal of reducing oscillation to an absolute minimum—or eliminating it entirely. Turbo boost control will be improved. Throttle control will be improved. Fuel consumption and overall energy control will be improved. And the interaction and deployment strategy between the ICE and MGU will continue to be refined.
• – The three tyre compounds will also receive further work. Aero development will increasingly move toward different, car-specific aerodynamic models rather than a single broad class treatment. And the same is planned for the chassis and suspension systems, with individual models assigned and developed for each car.
• – And there is more beyond that still to come.
