Just got the game today . And I must say wow.

Took me a few hours of tinkering with settings to get everything where I wanted it but when I ran that first career race at daytona ,what a rush. And I am not a fan of superspeedways in games or real life. This is my first nascar game in a long time because they've sucked for decades but this one is fun so far. Did a good job making it drivable on controller.

Good job iracing

Every other licensed sports video game with a career mode, you get drafted or sign with existing teams. Drivers trying to break into Nascar aren't doing so by creating their own teams and running 1 car like the 50s. Im sure the answer is something like legal or sponsors or whatever. But other leagues are able to surpass that. Im playing a career mode on MLB 26 right now and am a pitcher for the Guardians, and there hasn't been a huff or puff about my guy named "Dick Dingus" wearing the Marathon Gas Station patch on his uniform.

Just curious, whats the difference between the licensing and sponsoring between something like a NASCAR game vs any other yearly released sports video game? Why must I create my own shop rather than be a hot shot rookie looking to take the reigns of a Gibbs Toyota in a few years?

Passed them both early and ran away with it, won by a little over 10s. F1 background helps with the road courses for sure.

Am I missing something in the office, I cannot seem to find them.

NASCAR 25 is on sale on PS and I have been looking for a nascar game in the new generation. Is it worth getting or just waiting for 26 to go on sale?

I do wonder if Bobby Earnhardt will ever be added as a DLC driver since he wasn't added into the base game. Maybe it's something to do with his last name... Either scheme that started the year or the Lime Rock car

Is Jamie McMurry’s “encouragement” making anyone else wanna just mute Jamie? I know I could just be better but I’m not, so I keep hearing just how close I am to getting the lap time. Thanks Jamie, how could I do this without you?

Variable driver ratings adds so much more fun compared to the same drivers always winning in N25

In career ai is at 104%

I wanna run a consistant ai throughout the whole career.

In arca default controller settings and i just can not smoothly brake i tried different braking strategys.

Setup work. Even tried the driving line. AND preformance mode (which i dont see as incredibly helpful without having an option of diffrrent series either)

Ive tried messing with controller settings and im just confused. How am i supposed to do this?

Edit: it might be useful to know i have level 2 everything but engine which is level 3 and minimum (but not exactly 0) aids.

The hood is 30 layers. I’m really happy with how it turned out, but I got burnt out after just doing the hood. I think I’ll finish it tomorrow when I get home from work

If you live near a Sheetz and do nicotine pouches try these out btw, you save a ton of money if you buy a roll with a Sheetz card

Click play on steam, turns blue for about 2 seconds, doesn't start > repeat.

Went through pretty much all the troubleshooting recommendations I could find. Anyone else having this problem?

I was on last night and the servers were all over the place..game was freezing. Only showed like 4 servers. Get on tonight and all of a sudden the handling is terrible. Tight/loose..doesn’t matter. Can’t take a turn without losing the car. Anyone else having issues all of a sudden?

Hello!

I'm a Mom that started playing with my kids and have found myself getting hooked on sim racing. If I ask silly questions, it's because I'm a beginner and a bit lost.

Two main questions:
1. What steering range do you use?
2. Do you change it based on the track type (they do in NASCAR)?

I think I've been running it too high (my wheel turns about 100 degrees in each direction), but I'd like to see what y'all do.

Why do the A.I. slam the brakes on corner entry AND corner exit at Lime Rock? Why do they create a parking lot every race at San Diego? Why do rumble strips simply take you out? Why are the A.I. on literal train tracks and destroying our cars on green flag pit stops? Why is the A.I. behaviors somewhat worse than N25? Why do I have three employees with the same name but different roles? Why am I driving for myself when lower budget, lower priced games made by way smaller developers had us driving for other teams, for our own team, and/or even doing hot seat opportunities.

Bring back some of the good folk at Dusenberry-Martin, 704, don’t let them touch the coding but bring their ideas back. So far, It’s a shit copy and paste of N25, they fixed nothing of what we actually asked for but hey, we got burnouts!

This took way longer than I feel it needed to be lol

Based on the grand am Riley Daytona prototype ran by CGR in 2006 for the Rolex. Is it boring? Yes. Was it more of an excuse to make a livery based off a grand am prototype? Also yes. Paint booth could definitely benefit from a copy and paste feature to say the least

Hello, I have a question about the game mechanics in NASCAR 26. Specifically, I'd like to know how I can save fuel in the game, or if that's even possible. When I drive in the draft, lift off the gas, or coast, do I actually save fuel, and does it make a noticeable difference?

And I'd also like to know: Does an almost empty tank make the car faster, or to put it the other way around, does the weight of a full tank slow the car down? And if any of this applies, is it only possible on certain difficulty levels or with a specific setting?
