After sharing a screenshot earlier already, Project Motor Racing has confirmed the Gillet Vertigo to be in the game, continuing its throwback to the GTR series.
A screenshot posted earlier this week already confirmed it more or less, so it should hardly be surprising that Straight 4 Studios have now confirmed the Gillet Vertigo Streiff to be in Project Motor Racing. The V6-powered Belgian racer is yet another throwback to the GTR series, to which most of the developer team can trace its roots back to.
Unlike the previously-confirmed Lister Storm GT, which we saw in action as well as being scanned for Project Motor Racing last year in Silverstone, the little Belgian-built racer did not compete in what was then the GT1 class in the FIA GT Championship. It was technically also not in the second-tier N-GT class, which eventually morphed into the GT2 category from 2005 onwards. That class then turned into GTE after 2010, until it was phased out for good at the end of 2023.
Its best result at the 24 Hours of Spa came in 2004, when the #100 car of Belgians Renaud Kuppens, Bas Leinders and Sébastien Ugeux finished 13th overall and therefore second in the G2 class.
Among sim racers, it has achieved a bit of a cult status due to its inclusion in GTR and GTR2, and as a result, it could prove a popular choice in Project Motor Racing again.
Interestingly, the latest batch of screenshots show the car at Mosport again - the track, however, has not been mentioned by Straight4 yet.

2004 Gillet Vertigo Streiff In Project Motor Racing
The Vertigo that is to feature in PMR is the 2004 version, sporting a 3-liter Alfa Romeo V6 engine producing 355 bhp, with the car weighing in at just 950 kg. That year, it only competed in the 2004 24 Hours of Spa in the FIA GT Championship in the G2 class, which allowed cars that were not homologated for the GT1 or N-GT classes but did fulfill the necessary safety standards.Its best result at the 24 Hours of Spa came in 2004, when the #100 car of Belgians Renaud Kuppens, Bas Leinders and Sébastien Ugeux finished 13th overall and therefore second in the G2 class.
