Been driving around a lot in Assetto Corsa recently, but I went back to pCars after installing a new video card to see how it runs and to check out the latest updates; here are some uneditted screenshots from the latest build:

McLaren MP4-12C at Silverstone:





Way too wide through Copse corner:

 
Caterham 500 Superlight on the California highway track:





Fictional P30 prototype at Spa:



Doing a 'McNish'....:

 
And a new addition, the huge Mercedes-Benz AMG 300SEL 6.8 'Rote Sau' (Red Pig) at Imola. The real thing drove to the podium in the 1971 Spa 24 hour race.



This thing loves oversteer!:

 
Some of the screen shots look so real... too real. Is it a sim or is it real life? That line is getting really blurred with the newest generation of simulations.
 
Those are outstanding shots. :applause:

So out of the two sims which do you prefer, of course AC is still being developed so maybe an unfair question.

Both pCars and AC are still pretty much WIP, so it is hard to compare, especially since both companies release content in different ways. AC only gives major updates, but with new stuff it all seems to work fine. pCars has updates twice a week, and sometimes the new content is unfinished. Cars with basic interiors and physics, tracks with major holes in the surface etc.. The cars above were fun to drive, but I tried a new Pagani Zonda roadster too and it would spin out in every corner, even the really slow ones.

When both are finished, pCars will probably have more content, look better but also be heavier on your computer than AC. Right now AC is the better driving sim for me, it feels more natural to drive.
 
where in california is the "road course" supposed to be?...and is Pcars still closed to new people/users?....id love to give it a go.
 
Dave, I have no idea where the track is, or if it's even real.. It is just called 'California highway'.

According to the website they have reached their funding goals and are no longer accepting new members.
 
A few weeks and a few updates later; time to spend some time in pCars once again:

Sauber C9 Group C at imola:



Caterham R500 at Anhalt (Oschersleben), a great car to slide around the track!:



BMW M1 Procar at Spa:



 
The new RUF CTR3 (No, it is not a Porsche!):



Helmet cam inside the P30 prototype at Dubai:

 
Radical, Audi and Bentley joined pCars too!

The Bentleys featured in the game will be:

2003 Bentley Speed 8 LMGTP
2013 Bentley Continental GT3

The Audi's will be:

2012 Audi A1 quattro
2013 Audi R8 V10 Plus
2002 Audi R8 LMP900
2011 Audi R18 TDI LMP1
2014 Audi R18 e-tron quattro
2013 Audi R8 LMS Ultra GT3
1989 Audi 90 IMSA GTO

The A4 DTM that was in the earlier builds (Under a fictional name) and was later removed isn't on that list sadly..

The fictional 'Racer' brand will be replaced with the Radical name, and one more car will be added:

Radical SR3 RS
Radical SR8 RX
Radical RXC Turbo

The first cars appearing in the car are the Audi R10 plus:







Fun car to drive around the old Nurburgring!

The R8 LMS:

 
The R10 makes its return, now with official liveries:






And for those that like US racing cars, this Mustang Cobra trans Am was added:

 
New cars pouring in now, like the Mercedes A45 AMG:





Group 5 BMW 320 Turbo; this thing is just plain scary!:





And the Mk1 Ford Escort 1600, slow on the straights but a lot of oversteer through every corner:
