Az elmúlt heti Project CARS frissítések

Természetesen a Slightly Mad Studios gárdája folyamatosan ontja magából a frissítéseket a Project CARS-hoz. A srácok ezen a héten sem pihentek és szinte minden napra jutott egy-egy új frissítés.
Most ezeknek a frissítéseknek a tartalmát osztom meg veletek angol nyelven. A frissítéseket a megszokott módon, a Steam rendszerén keresztül tölthetitek le.
