  • Dear Negative Reader: When the developers announced that the long-promised (and long-hyped) Wii U port was cancelled, backlash ensued and they went on a bizarre rant about how the Wii U wasn't worthy of the game, their belief that Mario Kart wasn't a real driving game and how their game would be the best racing game on the Switch if they were to release it (or the sequel) there.
  • Franchise Killer: The poor reception and sales for Project CARS 3 caused EA, which bought out Codemasters in 2021, to kill the series the following year, canceling a planned fourth game and transferring Slightly Mad Studios' staff to their other racing games.
  • What Could Have Been
    • The game was originally announced for PC and the Wii U with them later announcing a PS3 and Xbox 360 port. However, both the PS3 and 360 ports would be cancelled in favor of their successors in 2014.
    • According to the developers, the Wii U version was going to be based on the PC version rather than custom-built before its cancellation due to the console's commercial failure and the developers' focus on the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
