After years of anticipation and a few development curveballs, Project Motor Racing finally has an official release date: November 25, 2025. The upcoming racing sim will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, offering fans an ultra-realistic motorsport experience inspired by the iconic GTR series.
🏁 A Spiritual Successor to a Racing Legend
Originally known as GTR Revival, Project Motor Racing was first teased in a tweet by Ian Bell—the visionary behind GTR, GT Legends, Project CARS, and more—on September 22, 2022. Developed by a team including key developers from GTR 2, the game promises to revive the intense simulation roots of the legendary franchise.
Despite an initial release window of late 2024, Project Motor Racing faced development delays. However, the game gained momentum after a publisher switch from PLAION (formerly Koch Media) to GIANTS Software, known for the Farming Simulator franchise.
🛠️ Powered by GIANTS Engine 10
One of the most surprising aspects of the game is its engine: GIANTS Engine 10, a mod-friendly platform also used in Farming Simulator. This means modding will likely play a big role in extending the life of the game, much like with the Farming Simulator community.
The official reveal trailer, which can be viewed on YouTube, highlights detailed vehicle models, dynamic weather, and immersive track environments.

🗣️ What Fans Can Expect
While many details about the multiplayer features are still under wraps, the confirmed car and track list alone has already drawn strong attention from the sim racing community. Given Ian Bell’s legacy and the pedigree of the development team, expectations are sky-high for both realism and innovation.
With a confirmed release date of November 25, 2025, Project Motor Racing is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated racing titles. Whether you’re a veteran sim racer or new to the scene, this spiritual successor to GTR 2 is one to watch—and one to pre-load.
