Project Motor Racing — Update 2.0.0.6

Update 2.0.0.6 for Project Motor Racing brings a new round of handling, setup, AI opponents, replay system, audio, UI, and content improvements to Project Motor Racing, alongside support for the upcoming GT Icons Pack, available from tomorrow, 23 June.

This update also introduces two important setup additions for relevant cars: third spring and brake duct adjustments. Together with the reworked slipstream model and continued vehicle, AI, and track improvements, Update 2.0.0.6 continues the broader push to refine the driving experience across both modern and classic machinery in Project Motor Racing.

GT Icons Pack

The GT Icons Pack is available from tomorrow, 23 June, bringing nine cars that capture a defining era of sports-car racing, when raw power, rudimentary aerodynamics, mechanical grip, and driver commitment shaped every grid.

The pack showcases three distinct classes from the late ’60s and early 1970s, each representing a different philosophy of speed and the unique machines that defined the period.

New Career Mode events for the GT Icons Pack have also been added with this update.

Third Spring and Brake Ducts

New setup elements are now available in the vehicle settings menu for cars that support them, including third spring and brake duct adjustments.

High-downforce cars, such as LMDh machinery, often require stiff springs to maintain aerodynamic balance and avoid scraping. The implementation of third spring setup options allows drivers to separate mechanical grip from aerodynamic platform control, using the normal springs to tune grip while using the third spring to better control heave and maintain aero stability.

Brake duct adjustment has also been added (currently only on LMDh). Because brake temperature now influences tyre internal air temperature, brake cooling becomes an important tuning tool. Adjusting brake ducts allows players to fine-tune brake efficiency, tyre air temperature, and tyre pressure behaviour across a run.

Slipstream Rework

Drafting and slipstreaming has been reworked to deliver closer, more competitive racing in Multiplayer resulting in more consistent drafting behaviour, and improved balance, creating better overtaking opportunities and tighter battles to get that photo finish over the line.
