Project CARS rolls on with another weekly release, this time around build 149 which is available to Team members or greater. The Le Mans circuit under the name Loire 24 is the most noteworthy new addition to CARS in build 149 along with force feedback (G25 with earlier builds was very poor in some situations), and other fixes.
There is no doubt some aspects of Project CARS are seriously impressive, the car models in game for example look fantastic. However unless you have a bleeding edge gaming machine be prepared to either sacrifice eye candy or endure low frame rates which in some cases make the game unplayable.
NOTE: PLAYERS MUST START A NEW PROFILE WITH THIS BUILD
