Project Motor Racing adds nine V8s and Road Atlanta in Power Pack DLC
Straight4 Studios and GIANTS Software expand the sim-racing roster with a scanned circuit and three classes of muscle cars on September 15.
Project Motor Racing will expand its vehicle roster and track list with the release of the V8 Power Pack DLC on September 15, 2026. The update introduces a diverse array of high-horsepower machinery and a professional circuit to the simulation.
Developed by Straight4 Studios and published by GIANTS Software, the DLC adds nine new cars divided into three distinct racing classes. The V8 Evo class features the 2023 Ford Mustang and 2023 Chevrolet Camaro in Australian specifications. The TA2 class brings contemporary American power with the 2022 Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, and Chevrolet Camaro TA/2 models. Finally, the Historic TA class introduces vintage muscle, including the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 TA, 1970 Plymouth Barracuda TA, 1970 AMC Javelin TA, and the 1968 Camaro TA Z28. Alongside the cars, the update adds a scanned version of the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
A Growing V8 Roadmap
This content drop follows a clear pattern of expanding the game's V8 ecosystem. In July 2026, the developers released the 'Aussie Rivals' pack, which provided players with free access to a reworked 2013 Ford Falcon FG and the 2013 Holden VF Commodore. By layering the new V8 Power Pack on top of the Aussie Rivals content, the developers are doubling down on the culture of international touring cars and American muscle, bridging the gap between historic racing and modern professional specifications.
Impact on Simulation Authenticity
The inclusion of Gen 3 Australian Supercars and the TA2 series significantly broadens the game's appeal to hardcore sim-racers. The addition of Road Atlanta is particularly noteworthy; using a scanned version of the professional circuit ensures that the track geometry and surface details are accurate to the real-world location. For users, this means a higher level of fidelity in how the cars handle the specific elevations and corners of the Georgia-based track, increasing the overall authenticity of the driving experience.
Looking Ahead
With the September 15 release date approaching, the V8 Power Pack solidifies Project Motor Racing's commitment to a specific niche of motorsport. While the current roadmap emphasizes V8 power and scanned circuits, it remains to be seen if the developers will expand into other engine configurations or different international racing series in future updates. For now, the focus remains on the intersection of American muscle and Australian touring car heritage.
