Project CARS 3 Update 3 adds the Bahrain Circuit

December 5, 2020 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Last updated on December 16th, 2020 at 07:11 pm

Slightly Mad Studios have released a fairly sizeable list of fixes and improvements across all versions of their latest racing game. But probably the biggest news is that Project CARS 3 Update 3 adds the Bahrain circuit free for all players.

And it’s a pretty interesting sim racing venue. The Bahrain International Circuit was the first to be awarded the FIA Institute Centre of Excellence, and opened in 2004. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the full track is 5.412km (3.363 miles), with 15 turns, and took Pedro de la Rosa 1:31.447 to complete, giving him the single fastest lap of his F1 career.

Project CARS 3 Update 3 adds the Bahrain Circuit with all four current layouts, the full GP configuration, plus the 1.584 mile Inner, 2.2 mile outer Outer, and 2.2 mile Paddock versions. In 2020, the Bahrain Grand Prix used the GP layout, while the Sakhir GP opts for the Outer Circuit version.
