Project Motor Racing will expand on 15 September with the V8 Power Pack, introducing nine V8 race cars across three classes and a laser-scanned Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta circuit. The update follows July's free Aussie Rivals pack
Project Motor Racing is set to receive a significant content update next month, as Giants Software and Straight4 Studios have officially announced the V8 Power Pack downloadable content. Scheduled for release on 15 September, the pack will introduce nine V8-powered race cars spanning both modern and historic eras, alongside a fully laser-scanned version of Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. This marks a notable expansion for the game's vehicle roster and track selection, with the new content arriving as paid DLC.
New Cars and Classes Detailed
The V8 Power Pack will add three distinct classes to Project Motor Racing's garage. The "V8 Evo" class features the 2023 Australian-spec Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, both currently active in Australia's Gen 3 Supercars series. The "USV8" class brings in the 2022 Dodge Challenger TA/2, 2022 Ford Mustang TA/2, and 2022 Camaro TA/2, reflecting the American Trans Am TA2 racing scene. For those interested in classic motorsport, the "Historic USV8" class includes the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302, 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, 1970 AMC Javelin, and the 1968 Camaro Z28, all presented in period-correct Trans Am road racing trim.
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta Joins the Track List
Alongside the new vehicles, the update will introduce Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, recreated using full laser-scanning techniques to ensure accuracy. This addition brings a renowned American circuit to the game, known for its technical layout and popularity in both real-world and virtual racing. The track's inclusion is expected to offer a fresh challenge for players, particularly those keen to test the new V8 machinery in a competitive environment.
Recent Content and Ongoing Support
The V8 Power Pack follows the release of July's Aussie Rivals pack, which was made available for free and added the 2013 Holden VF Commodore and a reworked 2013 Ford Falcon FG to the game. This pattern of regular updates suggests a continued commitment to expanding Project Motor Racing's content offering. For players tracking major racing game releases and updates, it's worth noting that the game's evolving content roadmap is reminiscent of the steady post-launch support seen in other high-profile titles, as discussed in our coverage of recent global release schedules for major franchises.
With the V8 Power Pack, Project Motor Racing is set to broaden its appeal to fans of both modern and classic V8 racing, while the addition of Road Atlanta further strengthens its track line-up. Pricing details for the DLC have not yet been confirmed, and it remains to be seen whether all platforms will receive the update simultaneously. Players should expect further information closer to the release date.
Downloadable content, or DLC, refers to additional game content released after the main game's launch, often expanding the experience with new vehicles, tracks, missions or features. DLC can be free or paid, and its quality and value can vary widely between titles. In racing games, DLC is commonly used to introduce new cars and circuits, allowing developers to keep the player base engaged and the game's ecosystem active well beyond the initial release window.
