There's an increased weightiness to these fuel-guzzling beasts that firmly plants them on the road, and a pliability that makes pushing them up to and over the limit a viable strategy, resulting in some incredibly tense and exciting moments. For one, the physics and driving model have been much improved, with less disconnect between your actions and those of your car. Thankfully, these issues have been mostly addressed in Project Cars 2. Inconsistent handling, inadequate gamepad support, dim-witted AI, and numerous, disruptive bugs regularly plagued the experience.

It's a singular, almost assuredly niche thrill yet it was this focus on learning and adapting to the various intricacies of both car and track that made Project Cars so appealing-and which still rings true in its sequel. Before long I wasn't just completing laps without incident, but setting competitive times to rival the competition, and fondly recalling similar moments throughout my time with Slightly Mad's first game in the series. With each passing lap I gradually became more accustomed to Knockhill's tricky corners, learning how to approach each one with guile and gusto. I started tuning my Formula Rookie car to adjust to the particularities of this charming British track, softening the anti-roll bar to limit oversteering, and adjusting gear ratios to get a tad more speed down the straights. It was not the start I had envisioned, and I could have let it get to me-thwarted, as I was, by a quick sprint around the Scottish countryside. The blind turns and fluctuating elevations of Scotland's Knockhill Racing Circuit played havoc with my rusty skills, as I spun out myriad times throughout my first practice session, making the trackside gravel my undesirable home. After a couple of years away from the wheel of Slightly Mad Studios' simulation racing series, getting reacquainted with its uncompromising style was no easy feat. My first race in Project Cars 2 was a learning experience, to say the least.
