Blast from the Past: The Group 5 Revival Pack and Its Legendary Machines

Set to debut on the game's launch day, November 25th, is the 'Group 5 Revival Pack'. This initial expansion will introduce five cars from the exhilarating Group 5 silhouette racing era of the 1970s. While the Ford Capri Zakspeed Turbo has been confirmed, the identities of the remaining four vehicles remain a thrilling mystery. Anticipation is high for the inclusion of other iconic Group 5 contenders such as the Porsche 935, Lancia Beta Montecarlo, and BMW 320 Turbo, promising a nostalgic dive into a golden age of motorsport.

A Taste of Japan: The Japanese GT500 Pack for Gran Turismo Aficionados

The first quarter of 2026 will bring the 'Japanese GT500 Pack', a highly anticipated addition especially for fans of the Gran Turismo series. This pack will feature elite vehicles from Japan's premier sports car racing championship, Super GT, historically known as the JGTC. While the specific period of cars is yet to be confirmed, the developers' focus on early-millennium racing hints at the potential arrival of beloved machines like the A80 Toyota Supra, R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, and the original Honda NSX, capturing the essence of Japanese motorsport excellence.

Mystery and Muscle: The GT Legends and V8 Power Packs

Following the Japanese GT500 Pack, the second quarter of 2026 will see the release of the 'GT Legends Pack'. As its name suggests, this pack is expected to introduce more historic, production-based GT cars, expanding the game's roster of iconic race cars. Similarly, the 'V8 Power Pack', slated for release in the third quarter of next year, promises to deliver an infusion of V8-powered machines. Combined, these three packs are set to significantly expand the game's content, adding over 30 cars and three brand-new racing circuits, offering players an unparalleled variety of experiences.

The Ultimate Challenge: The Endurance Racing Expansion Featuring Le Mans

The crowning jewel of the Year 1 content will arrive in the final quarter of 2026: the 'Endurance Racing Expansion'. This highly anticipated addition will bring the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe, home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to Project Motor Racing. Beyond the iconic track, the expansion will introduce two new car classes: LMP1, representing the pinnacle of endurance racing from 2005 to 2020, and GTP. The inclusion of GTP is likely to feature closed-cockpit LMGTP prototypes from the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as the Toyota GT-One and Bentley Speed 8, allowing players to relive some of the most thrilling moments in endurance racing history.
