Rallycross-portionen av Project Cars 2 visar upp sig

Att kommande Project Cars 2 kommer att innehålla rallycross för att på så sätt konkurrera med Codemasters kommande Dirt 4, visste vi sedan innan. Vi har dock inte vetat i vilken utsträckning eller på vilka premisser, förrän idag. Utgivaren Namco skickade oss precis en pressrelease med lite information om spelläget och du hittar den nedan.

Officiella PR-floskler incoming:
"Rallycross, one of the world's most thrilling and action-packed motorsports, will come fully-loaded to Project CARS 2 with an array of licensed cars and tracks in late 2017. Unleashing superstar drivers and their popping, anti-turbo-lag fire-cracking 600-horsepower race cars in arenas crammed with passionate fans, rallycross is a sharp, loud, violent motorsport featuring the quickest accelerating cars on earth hurtling over 70-foot jumps and fighting side-by-side on dirt and asphalt tracks. Merging the authentic physics, unsurpassed visual fidelity, and superior driving dynamics synonymous with the Project CARS franchise along with a technical partnership with one of the sport's most legendary teams (OMSE), rallycross: a global phenomenon where violent contact at breakneck speeds is just one part of an adrenaline-churning show, is coming unbridled to virtual racers with Project CARS 2.

The development of rallycross for Project CARS 2 has seen developers Slightly Mad Studios sign real-world Honda Factory Global Rallycross racing stars Mitchell deJong and Oliver Eriksson as consultants. Along with a technical partnership with their employers, fabled rallycross team OMSE, 19 X Games medals, winners of every rallycross championship title in the US, and official suppliers of Supercar Lites rallycross cars worldwide, rallycross in Project CARS 2 will deliver both officially-licensed cars and tracks, and a faithful recreation of this exhilarating and unique motorsport. Project CARS 2 drivers will experience the rush of driving purpose-built rallycross cars such as Mitchell and Oliver's Honda Civic Coupe on scanned real-world rallycross tracks including US-based DirtFish and Daytona, Lånkebanen in Norway, and the track where it all began half-a-century ago, Lydden Hill in the UK."
