Project Motor Racing Promises Major Overhaul After Troubled Debut

Launch fell short of hype

Generally, we launched back in November 2025, and the game just didn’t live up to what we said it would, I admit, it was pretty disappointing.

Players felt the handling was all over the place, and the single-player mode was pretty bland, which was a major letdown.

Honestly, the studio said “we missed the mark” and that line stuck with us, it was a pretty big deal.

Community feedback & patch marathon

Since the launch, we dropped seven patches, each one aimed at a specific gripe, and it’s been a wild ride.

I’ve read the newsletter, it says “patch by patch, we’ve listened” – they really try to sound sincere, but sometimes it feels like they’re just trying too hard.

Even though the game still isn’t perfect, progress is visible if you look close enough, and that’s a good thing, I guess.

The March 2026 “foundation reset”

The studio promised a big overhaul at the end of March – a full-scale rebuild from the ground up, which sounds like a pretty big deal.

They call it a “foundation reset,” meaning they’ll re-engineer handling, physics, and AI, and that’s a lot to take in.

I’m curious how transparent they’ll stay, they said more details will drop throughout the month, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Free car addition & GT4 class overhaul

While waiting, they gave us a free 2013 Ford FG Falcon V8 Supercar – a nice little perk, I mean who doesn’t love free stuff.

The GT4 class also gets a full revamp, focusing on balance and realism that many complained about, so that’s a good thing.

I think that shows they’re listening, even if the rollout feels a bit rushed, but hey, at least they’re trying.

IGN’s original take

IGN liked the car variety and the fact there were no nasty micro-transactions, which is always a plus.

But they also called the experience “more like early-access” and slammed the single-player as mediocre, which was pretty harsh.

Those critiques echoed in the community, pushing the studio to own up, and that’s when things started to get real.

Looking ahead

If the March overhaul lands well, the game could jump from unfinished to a true contender, which would be amazing.

Until then, expect more patches, community updates, and a hopeful promise that the next version finally hits the high bar, and that’s what we’re all waiting for.
