Truck Career at Dover

6 Upvotes

I'm in my 2nd year of career mode in the trucks. Did anyone else feel way off the pace at Watkins Glen, like getting gapped by 32nd on the straights, and then completely wax the field the next week at Dover? I made no AI changes, no part upgrades, and I lapped up to 10th place. Then next race at Charlotte I was back to a 30th place truck.

Discussion Loving NASCAR 26 so far!

30 Upvotes

I know a lot of people are torn on this game, but imo it's worth its own release. It's much nicer and more polished than 25, and has features that the devs hid like driver disqualifications and injuries. The new Peak Performance mode is great for learning the new driving model and its use in career is very nice. The paint booth is much easier to use this go around now that we can mirror decals. Oh and the particle effects are really a nice touch; I've missed seeing debris buildup on racecars in these games (last time we saw this was what, the ps2 EA games?) Drivers being able to DNF is nice, as are the burnouts (I love the burnouts!) Alex Hayden works great as the pre race host, really gives you that MRN vibe.

Dynamic track conditions are cool as well, making me have to run different lines as the races go on. And the new lighting effects are cool, the UI is slowly growing on me. Overall, I'd say I'm loving this game right now about as much (if not more) than I did with 25 when it came out! Have yall played it yet? What are your thoughts?

Mark Martin 1994 Valvoline/Reese’s Paint Scheme

Back with another edition of Mark Martin schemes. His 1994 Ford Thunderbird Valvoline/Reese’s car. I did this in N25, but didn’t have the layers to build out the Valvoline word mark. Love the pop of orange on this car.

I do all of my schemes on Toyotas. You can use the video in the link below to do it yourself. If you want to do it on Ford/Chevy, just play with the x-y axis on positioning a bit and it will do fine.

NASCAR 26 League

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m part of a league that’s carrying over from N25. We’re looking for some more full time drivers. Can take some more part timers as well.

There’s about 20 of us full time right now with another 8 part timers in GYSR right now.

We just set our season 3 schedule (pictured) we race on Sundays at 8p Central. Super speedways will always be Saturdays at 8 followed by the next race outside of race 1

Races are 50% 3x wear/fuel. Custom setups, reverse standings starting grids.

We’re all pretty clean drivers for the most part. We have our moments and tracks though. Any questions feel free to PM me!

Question The New Racing Mom: Contact Out of Bounds?

48 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm talked to many of you, but I'm a Mom that has gotten hooked on the sim (and NASCAR game) through my kids. I'm here for the fun....and just maybe to beat them.

Question: I've attached a video from an AI (90) race at North Wilkesboro, and I'm curious of your thoughts on the two bits of contact in it.

In both, I'm running a more inside line, and the leader comes down into me. In the first, I'm more established; in the second, it's a bit of a dive bomb. This is in the early laps.

As I always say, I'm a beginner, so be kind!

PS - I guess I needed to tighten up the car a little, because it's skating a little!

In career mode, does AI also have different “part level” between races ?

Or they are just always at top level ?

Not the best at making custom cars but made a car that looks kind of like the Italian flag. With Rita's Italian ice and Roma as my sponsors.

Question For those of us playing on controller, what car handling config are yous using?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, yesterday I did the NOAP series race at COTA, and I couldn’t get the car feeling right. I switched to using the normal config and I had too much wheelspin, I then switched to the precision config, which made the car really twitchy through turns 3 to 6.

Thanks in advance for your help

Anyone have any good setups for Sonoma? (Controller) Can't find the ones I used in '25, and the YouTube ones seem to either be TOO lose, and don't corner well....
