Factory Driver Challenge Enters A New Era

Project Motor Racing · published 1 Jul 2026, 12:16 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The Factory Driver Challenge has been reimagined in Project Motor Racing.

What was once a fixed challenge format is now a sharper, cleaner leaderboard fight. One car, one circuit, one target on a two-week rotation to best highlight the 100+ cars in the sim.

Put your lap together and see where you stand against the rest, and maybe even the best!

These new events will run for two weeks and give drivers a rotating selection of cars from across the sim, from modern GT machinery to prototypes, hypercars, old-school monsters, cars that treat rear grip as a temporary arrangement, and even the occasional DLC-loaner.

No excuses. No traffic. No “I was on a bad strategy”. No “Traffic sucks”!

Just you, the car, the circuit, and the leaderboard that never lies!
