ABOUT PROJECT CARS

Project CARS (Community Assisted Racing Simulator) is a racing simulation video game in development by Slightly Mad Studios. It is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, Wii U, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 near November 2013.

Funding for the game is raised by the community and the developers themselves, without the financial aid of a traditional publisher. Through the purchase of Tool Packs players can contribute to development in roles including content creation, QA, and marketing media. Members gain special perks, depending on their purchased tool pack. While not an investment opportunity, members will receive 70% of game sales profits generated within the first 2 years after launch as compensation for their efforts, to be paid quarterly.

That is a really cool idea. It would be cool if more games did similar things.
 
My boss was in the states for a few years. He was one of the original investors, and helps with creating textures en tracks.

I've seen some early beta gameplay and it truly looks amazing and I'm not even a racing fan.
 
The Peranas have gained popularity around the world over time, especially in Australia, a yellow or white Capri Perana with black stripes would be so epic.
 
Seems this was a good investment, got an email from them that they'll be sending me a 2nd payment for the initial 'investment' :cool:
