Project Cars 2 has been announced, and developer Slightly Mad is once again turning to its fans to help fund development.

“Slightly Mad Studios now turns its attention to the future with the announcement of the continuation of the franchise with Project CARS 2,” reads a post by the studio. “And once again, the sequel will be created, tested, and ultimately approved by you – the gamers – through the WMD Portal crowd-funding platform.”

The major addition appears to be new offroad racing, including dirt, gravel, mud and snow courses.

Project Cars 2 features:

THE LARGEST TRACK ROSTER EVER – 50 unique locations and 200+ courses including ‘loose surface racing’ on dirt, gravel, mud, and snow. All will have dynamic time of day and weather allowing you to play anytime, anywhere

THE WIDEST VARIETY OF MOTORSPORTS with 8 different disciplines now including Rallycross, Hillclimbs, and Touge. 200+ cars from over 40 different vehicle classes including never-before-seen Concepts and Banned Race Cars

CO-OP CAREER – Play as the Teammate Driver, Spotter, Driver Swap, or Co-Pilot. More choices, more opportunities, more strategy, greater risks and greater rewards
