The centerpiece of the update is the juxtaposition of technology and driving philosophy. The pack introduces nine new cars, including legendary vintage models and modern hybrids:
A major highlight of this update is the faithfully recreated vintage as it existed in 1971. Unlike the modern layout, this version features the iconic, uninterrupted Mulsanne Straight, which allows classic prototypes to reach extreme speeds before the introduction of chicanes. The inclusion of this historic track, combined with the game's LiveTrack 3.0 system, enables players to experience the grueling 24-hour race cycle with realistic day-to-night transitions and dynamic weather conditions. Mechanical Complexity and ERS
Features the Porsche 917 LH and Ferrari 512 S/M , allowing players to recreate the "Battle of the Titans" popularized by the 1971 film Le Mans .
The pack for Project CARS 2 represents one of the most significant expansions in sim-racing history, capturing the endurance racing legacy of the Circuit de la Sarthe. Released in June 2018, this DLC update (integrated into version v7.1.0) provides a bridge between two iconic eras of motorsport: the high-stakes "titans" era of the 1970s and the sophisticated hybrid technology of modern LMP1 racing. Bridging the Generational Gap
For modern endurance fans, the v7.1.0 update refined the simulation of vehicles. By introducing manual ERS controls, the expansion transformed the gameplay from simple racing into a tactical resource-management exercise. Drivers must decide when to harvest energy under braking and exactly where to deploy that boost for overtaking on the long straights—a level of detail that remains a benchmark for the series.
