Project Cars finally has a release date.

Project Cars will release on May 8, Bandai Namco UK has announced.

We haven't yet had an update from Namco Bandai's other regional offices, but its probably safe to bet the racer will release around the same time in the Americas, Europe and ANZ region.

Up until now the closest thing to a release date we'd had was "mid May", so it's quite a nice surprise to learn it'll be happening sooner rather than later.

No word yet on the promised Wii U version.

Here's the latest trailer for the apparently gorgeous, feature-rich racer from Slightly Mad Studios. If you were part of the community that helped fund, develop and test this, you deserve a pat on the back.
