I've always been interested in a good Racing 'MMO' since Drift City. That game was god damn stupid but fun as a kid.

Nippon car steel folded 1000 times.

Can cut through anything.

it's using the same engine, models, and tracks as are in Project CARS

i'm not sure how i feel about this, unless this game has ridiculously arcade-y physics what's the point in project cars? why have i invested money into project cars if this is going to be free? i've not been on the WMD forums for a while so i'll have a look and post back if there's any information there that isn't in this article

How is that a bad thing for a fucking MMO? It's literally a genre built upon social elements. You can't get anything done without running into people.

Destroy cars and get 20 brake pads, but the cars have a drop rate of 15%

hoping that this won't turn into another drama, rice filled, pay2win circlejerk like nfsw did

please let it be like Test Drive Unlimited but without the story bullshit. I, for one, absolutely loved driving around aimlessly in that game as a car enthusiast myself. Of course it doesn't beat the real thing, but it sure beats having a speeding ticket or a 60 euro gas receipt.

Edit: damnit, it's track racing. :(

Same graphics engine, but almost all the tracks are different, mostly city tracks. All of the cars will be performance street cars, with no purpose-built racecars like in pCars. It also won't have the same career mode or stuff like that that pCars has. Physics are said to be Burnout-esque. They are carrying over the cool shit like the weather and the day/night cycle though.

According to them they're trying very hard to make it anything but that, of course that remains to be seen.
