Seen a few comments on GAF (and loads elsewhere) stating incredulity that the game will launch with the "Project C.A.R.S." moniker. That name did feel a little clumsy to start with but has grown on me since and I'm quite comfortable with it now, but it's obvious that quite a few people thought it was still (as originally intended, I think) a placeholder, and they were waiting for the 'real' name.
Question then (for a bit of fun): what could Project C.A.R.S. have better been called? What name would sum it up neatly, concisely and accurately? It's not as easy as you think - it's got to be something 'serious' to suit the simulation ecosystem and motorsport bias, but snappy enough to be accessible. Something like 'Slipstream' sounds too arcadey.
Any ideas?
You get used to it, but it's not a good name.I actually like the name Project Cars
Ya true but it's not a bad name eitherYou get used to it, but it's not a good name.

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.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.
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.
Indeed, I wonder how the general game buying public will view the games title?, certainly doesn't scream triple A driving game to me.........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.

Maybe not on its own but the cover art etc. has all been done really well and to me definitely says AAA
Hmmmmm
Looks a bit like this, just with a racedriver IMO:The cover art is really freaking good honestly
Project DRIVER?
So with gold build out on pc......
Anyone interested in setting up a Neogaf League?
One thing is for sure...Project Cars is hands down a better name than any of the other suggestions I've seen in this thread...

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.
I've asked a couple of times, is there an official car list?.
I've done a bit of googling, and I can only find about 70ish cars, surely the full release has more than this?
70 sounds about right. They are going for quality rather than volume.

OK, decision made. I've bought a PS4 and preordered a copy of pCARS.
Looking at the list made me realize... I guess we don't have V8 Supercars huh? Too bad since they go so well with Bathurst.
