Project CARS 2: Godzilla in the fog

For today's Project CARS 2 session, I will be behind the wheel of Godzilla in Britain's most demanding racetrack in history, so demanding, it was used as a venue for the British GP leg of Formula 1 races. I'm talking about Silverstone and I will be using the Nissan GT-R NISMO to drive round Silverstone without crashing myself.



The GT-R NISMO is the result of Nissan's trial and error struggle to create a supercar that can compete against the world's best supercars. Nissan has sent their experts to research on supercars as well as motorsports and that research led to the creation of the GT-R that set a Nurburgring lap time of 7:08.679. In this 2017MY minor change, the GT-R NISMO gains an aggressive exterior design and a new interior as seen in the standard model while retaining the NISMO-tuned VR38DETT engine that produces 600PS of power and 650Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed dual clutch gearbox as well as its motorsport-inspired dynamics that its professionals spent countless hours performing R&D in the creation of this ultimate GT-R.



The GT-R has been the strongman of Japanese car culture because of its popularity among street tuners and racers everywhere and with the NISMO variant, it pushes the envelope even further in its relentless pursuit of speed and precision that was known the world over. I am familiar with the GT-R NISMO's tale and the fact that it became the fastest Nissan to lap round the Nurburgring, which sets a new gold standard among sport grand tourers everywhere.

 

Driving Godzilla in Silverstone on a foggy day can be somewhat challenging because with all that mist coming around, it's hard to spot what corners will you be facing next. Also, with all that moisture going on because of that mist, traction is going to be a real issue in this condition so you'd need to tread carefully while you're out there. It's not just the speed and concentration that you should be worrying about when driving in the fog, but also alertness and your sense of sight because you may never know what you'll see next in such conditions. Drivers need to be sharp enough to survive a foggy race and you should too.

To see what I'm on about, I'm about to drive Godzilla around a foggy Silverstone and because this is an all-wheel drive car, I had confident that it can take on the moisture of this track because of the foggy condition but I need to stay alert because one slip will cost me dearly so here goes...



So, what do you think? Driving in the fog is as scary as it seems but I am as fast as a Japanese industrialist. I am.



Weather can pose as either a threat or opportunity for the drivers and because speed and skill is not enough to win races at such conditions, it takes adaptability to take on different weather conditions and in the case of the all-wheel drive Nissan GT-R, it's all about taking on different conditions whatever lays ahead on the track. If you are up to a different kind of driving challenge with different conditions, play Project CARS 2 now.
