Project CARS Server Hosting, Explained
New to Project CARS?
What is Project CARS?
Project CARS is a circuit racing simulator from Slightly Mad Studios, built with a community of racing fans and real drivers. Its career starts in Kart One and climbs through the tiers to LMP1 and Formula A, on real circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps, Bathurst and the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Time of day and weather change during a session, and you tune your setup and plan pit stops. Online, drivers join a lobby with a set track, car class, race length, weather and damage rules, and run practice, qualifying and the race.
Karts to Prototypes.
Race everything from karts and touring cars to LMP1 and Formula A.
Changing Conditions.
Time of day and weather move during a session, so a race can start dry and end wet.
Why rent a server?
What is Project CARS Server Hosting?
Without a server, a Project CARS lobby lives on one player's PC, and when they leave the host moves to someone else. A dedicated server keeps one lobby online around the clock, with a fixed name, password and rules. With Physgun your server installs itself and stays up for your friends or your club. Set the grid size and password in the panel, and let the server run races from its rotation.
Always Open.
Drivers join any time of day, without you keeping a PC running.
Your Rules.
Set which races run, and whether the lobby host can change them.
