Project Motor Racing’s 2.1 update lands with a free V8 Supercars DLC pack starring the Holden Commodore, a complete handling rework for GT3 and GT4 categories, and official triple-screen support on PC. The patch, detailed in the original IGN report, delivers content and technical improvements that sim racers have been requesting since the game’s early access launch.
V8 Supercars DLC Brings an Australian Icon
The free add-on lets players slide behind the wheel of a Holden Commodore, a machine etched into Australian touring car history. The pack adds a slice of V8 Supercars grit without an extra purchase, a move that quietly rewards the game’s most loyal community members. The update also lays groundwork for future touring car content, though developer Straight4 Studios hasn’t teased specifics yet.
Handling Model Rebuilt for GT3 and GT4 Classes
Under the hood, the 2.1 update scraps the old handling logic for GT3 and GT4 cars and replaces it with a fresh physics foundation. Tire behavior, weight transfer, and suspension feedback now align more closely with real-world telemetry data, according to the patch notes. Early player reports on forums and social feeds point to more predictable breakaway moments and sharper steering response, a welcome fix for a sim that previously felt too skittish under heavy braking.
Triple-Screen Support Finally Arrives on PC
Triple-screen rendering has been a glaring omission for PC racers running multi-monitor rigs. The update unlocks proper triple-screen alignment without forcing users into third-party tweaks or Nvidia Surround workarounds. That matters because dedicated sim racers often invest in wide setups for peripheral vision, and native support reduces input lag and distortion that plagued earlier workarounds.
GamerHeadlines Takeaway
Project Motor Racing is still building its identity against established competitors, but this update shows the studio is serious about closing feature gaps. A free DLC drop plus foundational physics work signal a development pace that values its core audience. If Straight4 can maintain this cadence without splitting the player base behind paywalls, the sim might carve out a steady, respected place on PC.
