The unversioned announcement introduces the free Aussie Rivals Pack, adding the Holden Commodore VF and updating the AUS V8 class alongside Update 2.1.
We’ve got a new content drop for Project Motor Racing: the free Aussie Rivals Pack, announced alongside Update 2.1. Per the official announcement, it reunites the Ford Falcon FG and Holden Commodore VF on the same grid.
What changed
Cars
- The Holden Commodore VF has been added to Project Motor Racing as part of the free Aussie Rivals Pack DLC.
- The pack pairs the newly added Holden with the previously released Ford Falcon FG.
Handling and physics
- The AUS V8 class receives a complete handling and tyre overhaul.
- The class also gets updates to:
- aero sensitivity
- inertia
- centre of gravity
- brake ducts
- brake heat behaviour
- default setups
Events and game modes
- Career Mode events that allow the AUS V8 class have been adjusted so the new Holden Commodore VF can be used.
Context noted in the announcement
- The announcement says these AUS V8 changes arrive alongside Update 2.1, which also includes a GT3 and GT4 overhaul.
For league ops, we should add the Holden to any AUS V8 entry lists and rerun setup baselines and event eligibility checks before the next championship round.

This is a proper red-blooded touring car: a 5L Chevy V8 up front, drive to the rear, and enough attitude to turn every corner exit into a protracted negotiation about survival. Built for the Car of the Future era, it thrives on heavy braking, committed rotation, and precise throttle control when the tyres are loaded and the kerbs start fighting back.

Career Mode events that permit the AUS V8 class have also been adjusted to allow for the use of the newly added Holden Commodore VF. Blue versus Red. Ford versus Holden. Bathurst arguments strongly encouraged.
