Project Motor Racing: Year 1 DLC Details Revealed with 30+ New Cars & 4 New Tracks Including Le Mans

The most anticipated racing simulator of 2025 prepares for launch with an ambitious post-launch content program

We're still quite a way from the official launch date of Project Motor Racing, scheduled for November 25, 2025, but the team at Straight4 Studios has already revealed intriguing details about the "Year 1" season pass that will accompany the title after its debut.

A Year of Premium Content

Although there's some information that's still under wraps — or at least some flowing car covers — the broad strokes of both the timing and the contents have been released through listings in the various official stores for the three target platforms.

Assuming you pre-order or otherwise pick the title up on launch day, there'll be one additional content drop available from the start: the "Group 5 Revival Pack". This package brings five vehicles from a racing category that survived for almost 20 years and was applied to four different formulae, but probably the most famous was the last — which also formed the basis of Germany's top touring car series.

The Zakspeed Ford Capri: A Winged Icon

Unsurprisingly, the cover car for this pack is the legendary Zakspeed Ford Capri, a wildly winged monster that was only barely related to the Capri road car and which conquered DRM — the predecessor of DTM — in the hands of Klaus Ludwig in 1981. The other four vehicles are unknown for now, but they could be just about anything from the Lotus Cortina of the 1966 British Saloon Car Championship (run under Group 5 regulations) to the 1977 Porsche 935 slantnose, via the 1971 Ferrari 512M.

A Quarterly Calendar of Thrills

From there on, it'll be a case of a new pack every quarter, each bringing new cars — with the wording suggesting an average of 10 cars apiece — and what looks like a new track per pack, starting with the "Japanese GT500 Pack".

Again, this could be a pretty wide-ranging pack as the GT500 class refers to the top category of both the All-Japan Grand Touring Championship (JGTC) and its successor Super GT under a number of different rulesets. We'd be expecting representative cars from Honda, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota and perhaps some of the less-commonly associated cars like the McLaren F1 and Lamborghini Murcielago. As for the circuit, it could be one from any of the calendars of any season — with no Asian tracks named yet as standard content — but Fuji or Suzuka are the most likely as staples across all seasons.

Mysterious Packs Ahead

The Q2 2026 pack is a little more mysterious, going by the name "GT Legends Pack". This is another callback to the origins of PMR, via the GT Legends title developed by SimBin Studios — of which S4S founder Ian Bell was a major part — and published in 2005, between GTR and GTR2. We're expecting this to comprise more of the 2000-2005 era of GT racing cars which PMR has been looking to celebrate.

Similarly there's a "V8 Power Pack" on its way in Q3 2026, and that too could be anybody's guess. It's tempting to assume this could be related to the Australian V8 Supercars series, again a series with multiple different rulesets across several eras.

The Ultimate Expansion: Le Mans and Endurance Racing

The Q4 2026 pack is the most intriguing of all. Likely arriving before the anniversary of the game, the "Endurance Racing Expansion" looks set to bring a whole lot more in one hit including the famous Circuit de la Sarthe which hosts the 24 Heures du Mans.

New GTP and LMP1 cars are also to be added in this pack, though we don't know how many yet. This could cover vehicles from IMSA-GTP like the Porsche 962 and Jaguar XJR-12, LMGTP like the Bentley Speed 8 and Toyota TS020, and the recent LMP1 era with the Audi R18 and Porsche 919.

Pricing and Availability

If you want the Year 1 Season Pass at launch, the bundle is set at a $/€30 premium over the standard edition at $/€99.99 (or $/€89.99 for the PC digital version). There's no word yet on the standalone price for the pass nor the individual components thereof.

For those eager to try out PMR for themselves, there'll be a public build available in Gamescom's Hall 6 from August 20-24. We're told you should look out for the massive tractor...
