And bell housings
This was my proposal back then.
I had an elaboration about it, but I think it is very logical from the first impression.
Nobody gave an F.
You get used to it, but it's not a good name.

Ya true but it's not a bad name either

I'm completely fine with the budget that would be required to rebrand the game and recoup the lost mindshare of everyone knowing the Project CARS name used on the actual game and content instead.
Yes and No.
Way too late for that, unfortunately. 6 months ago would have been the time to make this sort of change. Not weeks before the game comes out.
Mmm... Racepublica is tricky off the tongue in English but I quite like Race Republic. I can totally see the ethos behind it, especially with the way the game was independently funded.
Indeed, I wonder how the general game buying public will view the games title?, certainly doesn't scream triple A driving game to me.........

Maybe not on its own but the cover art etc. has all been done really well and to me definitely says AAA

Looks a bit like this, just with a racedriver IMO:
Looks good tho, but nothing special.

I think in these last four of five posts we've probably just proven why its still called project cars - anything that you try and decide by committee is always going to be tricky because everyone's opinions vary so much!

People tried to come with a new name on WMD forum some time ago. The name Project CARS was kept for a reason, all other names were terrible. Besides, Project CARS became a known name during the development time, no reason to change it, it would only hurt the game from the marketing point of view, i think.
Most def !
I like the name project CARS too, it has become well known and is representative of how the product came to be, a project about cars

By the way I hope the game runs as well as Assetto Corsa on my new GTX 970 on three screens, as that's definitely a nice thing for racing games. Suddenly the whole thing looks actual car size when you sit there and you can see a turn properly when you take it. The kicker for me was I had these screens already anyway, one was in the process of being phased out (diode starting to fail causing a lengthy startup time).

Still runs at a solid 60fps too at 50xxx10xx, except when I have 12 cars in front of me, and the advantage is that my old Logitech wheel still works properly (though I had to look up the shortcut combo to set the wheel in 900 degree mode manually) and feels pretty good after dialing down the force feedback to about 60%.
With the PS4 version also not supporting gyro steering (which is great in DriveClub), it will definitely be PC version for me now.

Indeed.
Exactly.
I hope none of the contributors work in marketing...or design judging by the examples posted!
Can wait for this, I bought my XB1 a week before the initial launch (in November was it?) and been waiting since!
Great setup Maas, I bet you really get some enjoyment out of that.
BTW, What wheel do you use? I just bought a used Logitech Driving Force GT (waiting for delivery) and had read a few issues about not getting 900 deg support in Win 8.1. What did you have to do to manually set it up?
70 sounds about right. They are going for quality rather than volume.
Wise choice. GT6's car list is pure garbage for instance with 2000000 variations of the same lame japanese cars.
Yeah that sounds about right now. I'm surprised they haven't released an official car list though.
But yeah, it'S easy to find a list online since we've been playing the game for years now.
I have to say that the fact they focused on the track list instead of the car list is the best decision ever.
No grinding and no pokemon.
OK, decision made. I've bought a PS4 and preordered a copy of pCARS. I need a grand's worth of tyres on my car, its insurance, MOT and road tax are also due, so the PC uberbuild can wait until later in the year.
Gotta say, if the Fanatec support wasn't there I'd never have considered the PS4 version. The recent DF analysis filled me with dread until the truth emerged, but VVV Alan's overwhelmingly positive comments (on an old build, too) has me convinced.
Phew!

Changed my pre-order last night, found that Game Seek had it for £35 for the PS4

Looking at the list made me realise I need to stop picking my favourites all the time and try some of these other cars!
