Tuning?

[André]

Can we tune our cars? Other motors, turbos, exhaust systems?

This is a racing simulator so it will use the real world motorsports regulations for cars. This isn't a standard arcade type racing game where body kits and mods are added to cars or nitrous boosters. You can tune the car to the limit of the regulations as tuning dampers, spring rates, radiator intakes(more air or less), fuel, toes, turbo boost preassure (if car has it), and tires and the tire pressures. No changing out engines for better ones or adding different exhaust systems. They are replicas of the cars in the current or historic racing series.

in real world the cars can not have another engines or turbos?

Short Answer: No you will not be able to change engines or turbos from car to car or purchase any. Only if that part is damaged during race you can have them to repair that problem of the car unless you blow an engine and then your out of a race.

Long Answer:

Well your not getting what I typed. (In racing) In the real world there are rules and regulations to what engines you can bring and the specfications and rules allow teams to only use a certain way, for example you can't simpley put an unrestriced F1 engine in a Porsche 911 GT3/GTD class car it would be too over powered and weight and restrictions would pretty much not allow it. If they did your car would simply be heavier than a Ford GT one. Sure other manufactuers have combined forces and made deals to use other car's chassi and put another engine in it but rules and regulations restrict certain things that engines and turbos can't have in racing. Sure you can outside of racing you can do crazy stuff like that, but may not be street legal or racing legal.

This game represents "Legal" racing rules and restrictions of each motorsport. So in short, no you can not change a GT3/GTD engine with an LMP1 engine. And you can't change the brand of turbo chargers in your car or add or remove them. Plus that kind of back tracks on how Project CARS has been building their games, plus this would put players in a position to only know how to tune your car by parts and not by what feels right for the player. Racing engineer is a powerfull tool that allows players kind of like myself to learn more on how to tune or players that no nothing about tuning to get their car to feel the way they want it to so they have a better chance against players that are vetreans at tuning and know how to set up their cars fully. Should be more down to how the driver handles the car, good pit strategy, and how a player fairs with different weather conditions and track conditions. A game of skill, strategy, and a crap ton of luck.

Tuning and modifying are not the same thing.

[corpse]

Well I know what they ment, but ya you are right.

[GenBrien]

yon cant change anything physical on the cars(except the type/sort of tires).
but you can tune things like suspension, tire pressure, brakes, gears, etc

would be cool to have on a rainy day but honestly i couldn't care less i just want to race

[Mr Dakkyz]

You can change the pressure of what the turbos work at in PC1 like going from 1 bar to 6 in certain cars, dont see why that wont be implemented in this game.

Setting the race cars - necessary! Modifying the road cars - rather not. My humble opinion.. Eventually if there was something like it in a special gaming mode, it might be fun, but otherwise I think it rather spoils the racing. If you wanna be fast against the AI, simply decrease the opponent skill. Modified cars racing online? I don´t see the point..
