Project Motor Racing revives the wild era of motorsport with nine legends, zero electronic assists, and no room for error

22/05/2026 - 13:10

Before extreme aerodynamics, before driver assists, and long before electronics corrected human errors, racing meant something much simpler: raw power, mechanical grip, and pure skill behind the wheel. That is exactly the focus of the new GT Icons Pack for Project Motor Racing, an expansion arriving on June 23rd, 2026, bringing together some of the most iconic cars from the late '60s and early '70s.

The DLC's tagline makes its philosophy crystal clear:

No driver aids, no nannies. Just you and your talent.

The expansion features 9 historic vehicles divided into three distinct categories, each representing a different vision of how speed was built during one of motorsport's most unpredictable eras.

GT 70 brings back the era when racing was all about selling cars

The GT 70 category revolves around homologation specials—vehicles engineered to dominate on the track and translate that reputation directly to the showroom floor.

This group features legendary names such as:

  • Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0
  • Chevrolet Corvette C3
  • Ford Capri RS3100

The result promises cars where balance and control will be just as vital as outright top speed.

Sports Car 67 travels back to the most experimental era of prototypes

The second category is bound to be the most extreme in the pack.

Sports Car 67 brings together some of the most aggressive prototypes of its generation:

  • Chaparral 2F
  • Ford GT40 Mk IV
  • Lola T70 Mk 3

 

Project Motor Racing defines this era with a highly accurate phrase:

Massive power, dodgy aerodynamics, and edgy reliability.

Translated into gameplay, this means cars that are blisteringly fast, twitchy, and ready to punish any overconfidence.

GT 60 bets on lightweight design and pure analog driving

The final group seems built for those who love unpredictable vehicles and a more physical driving experience:

  • Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
  • Shelby Daytona Coupe
  • Jaguar E-Type Lightweight

These are cars where managing slides and constantly fighting for stability are core parts of the driving experience.

Rocky Knoll Raceway completes the historic tribute

All this vehicle content will drop alongside a laser-scanned version of the American circuit Rocky Knoll Raceway, further immersing players in the feeling of piloting machinery from a bygone era of motorsport.

The track choice is highly fitting: less modern spectacle, and more emphasis on technique, risk-taking, and reading the terrain.

With the GT Icons Pack, Project Motor Racing looks to reclaim something that many modern simulators have gradually lost over time: the feeling that some cars weren't designed to be comfortable… they were built to demand respect.

 Looking at this lineup, the real challenge won't just be going fast. It will be maintaining enough control to reach the finish line.
