The first Project Cars and its upcoming sequel are incredibly sophisticated racing games, so much so that the developers at Slightly Mad Studios consider the games to be capable driving simulators that professionals can use to train. But would the studio consider shifting gears in a way and making a more arcade-style racing game sometime down the road?
I asked Slightly Mad COO Rod Chong if that's something the team has thought about. He confirmed with a quick "Yes," before elaborating on the topic.

The franchise is all about authenticity and realism, and this obviously wouldn't line up with an arcade experience. "It wouldn't be Project Cars though," Chong said about a potential Slightly Mad-developer arcade-style racing game.
