Project CARS – Rene Rast Prepares for LMP1

Racing ace Rene Rast uses Project CARS to prepare for a brand challenge as seen in a new video.

Last spring, German racing ace Rene Rast used Project CARS to prepare for his first-ever time at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Rast’s first stint at the French classic turned out to be a big success, big enough for the German to be picked up as part of Audi’s LMP1 driver squad next year, allowing the rapid German to compete for overhaul honors at the world’s most important motor race.

A new class means a more powerful car and an even bigger challenge and once again, Rast turns to Project CARS to familiarize himself with a new environment. You can check out a video of him in his simulator below, driving the Audi R18 TDI in Project CARS to get himself accustomed to high-downforce prototypes and the required techniques for fuel saving & efficiency that are key in modern endurance racing.
