Fuji’s 2016 Podium Reunites in Project Motor Racing’s World Endurance Pack
After six hours of racing at Fuji in 2016, fewer than 20 seconds separated Toyota, Audi, and Porsche at the finish. Now all three prototypes are back at the same circuit in Project Motor Racing’s World Endurance Pack, released on November 10, 2026. The launch trailer brings that rivalry together with six classic IMSA GTP cars, two generations of LMP2 machinery, and a recreation of Fuji’s original 1966 circuit. The expansion includes 11 cars across four new classes and six layouts, and is available separately or through the Year 1 Season Pass.
LMP1 Brings Three Different Hybrid Prototypes Back to Fuji
The LMP1 lineup pairs the 2016 Audi R18, Porsche 919 Hybrid, and Toyota TS050 Hybrid. All three raced under the same regulations, but each manufacturer took a different approach. Audi used a 3.7-litre turbo diesel V6 with hybrid energy recovery on one axle. Porsche paired a 2.0-litre turbo petrol V4 with energy recovery at the front axle and from the exhaust. Toyota ran a 2.4-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 with energy recovery on both axles.
That makes modern Fuji a particularly fitting place to try them. In the real 2016 6 Hours of Fuji, the No. 6 Toyota of Kamui Kobayashi, Stéphane Sarrazin, and Mike Conway held off the No. 8 Audi by about 1.5 seconds. The No. 1 Porsche finished third after remaining in contention late in the race. Switching between the three cars on the modern layout offers a way to revisit that contest from each side of the garage.
The Olivera Prototypes Put Two Generations of LMP2 Side by Side
The 2013 Olivera P2-13 joins the new LMP2 class, while the 2026 Olivera P2-26 EVO represents LMP2 EVO. Straight4 presents them as homages to two periods of prototype racing. The separate class entries give each car its own place in the pack, even though both carry the Olivera name.
The two cars make a natural pairing for drivers who enjoy comparing machinery on the same route. Keep the circuit fixed and the change of car becomes the experiment: where you brake, how much speed you carry into the corner, and how early you can get back on the throttle. Start with the P2-13, then try to build a clean lap in the P2-26 EVO before comparing times.
Six GTP Cars Revisit American Endurance Racing
IMSA GTP accounts for more than half the pack. The 1986 contingent includes the BMW March GTP, Chevrolet Corvette C4 GTP, and Ford Probe GTP. The 1988 trio brings the Jaguar XJR 9 GTP, Nissan GTP SX-Turbo, and Porsche 962 GTP.
The depth of that lineup reflects what made the original category interesting. IMSA developed GTP to bring American engineering into international-style endurance racing. Its retrospective points to Chevrolet-powered prototypes from March and Lola that could challenge the Porsche 962, with Jaguar and Nissan among the manufacturers that helped sustain the class’s appeal. The six cars give that era enough room in the expansion to explore several of its approaches, with the 962 as a familiar reference point.
Fuji’s Banked First Corner Returns
Fuji Speedway comes with two modern layouts and four historical layouts, including two historical configurations that can be raced in reverse. The 1966 recreation retains the original banked Turn 1, the most striking difference for anyone who knows the current circuit. GIANTS Software describes it as the historic circuit’s official sim-racing debut and credits Fuji International Speedway Co., Ltd. with helping make the recreation possible.
The expansion also adds new Career Mode events. It’s out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, either as a standalone pack or through the Year 1 Season Pass. A good first stop is the modern circuit with one of the three 2016 hybrids. Then take the same car back to 1966 and see how quickly your reference points change when the banking comes into view.
