A pair of dice rolls across the table, slowing down as four tense players hold their breaths. The cubes come to a stop displaying two sixes on top.

Bent metal, stunning visuals, and heart racing gameplay: Few words can describe the sheer amount of detail put into Project CARS, a racing simulator developed by Slightly Mad Studios. At first glance, the game would appear to have been made by a major publisher's developers such as EA or Ubisoft. However, the reality is that Project CARS was developed by a small team whose origins can be traced back...
