Project CARS: Cadwell Park Woodland Clio Cup Video
Many weeks in the making, here's a 7-lap race with one of our favourite Project CARS racing combos – a full swarm of Renault Clio Cup cars and Cadwell Park's little Woodland Circuit layout. Already a venue that creates a feeling of being tightly confined, the short Woodland route serves to amplify that sensation. Fortunately, despite being so compact, key features of Cadwell … [Read more...]

Project CARS: Cadwell Clio Cup Preview
Whilst editing of footage for this sprint race continues, we thought we'd bring a little appetiser to the site. http://youtu.be/-ql7YERkwz8 Taking to the Cadwell Park Woodland Circuit, the perfect match for a first return to the venue was found in the Renault Clio Cup. It's all a bit... 'TOCA' and so much fun! Once the tyres are warmed up! The majority of the first lap … [Read more...]

Project CARS: An Eye for Detail Preview

Video: Ride North Wales GAMEPLAY Trailer
With barely five weeks to go until its arrival, Ride has reappeared with a new gameplay trailer. North Wales is the chosen region this time round.

The game has a stylised look, sure – but … [Read more...]
