iRacing® Studios NASCAR 26

One thing they never really talked about in the marketing was just how much the driving physics have improved. You really do have to learn how to drive the cars all over again. The same driving style I had in NASCAR 25 does not work in NASCAR 26. Setups are so much more important now. Also Steam doesn't show it but it is Cross-Platform Online Multiplayer. You can create a password protected lobby and only let a few friends in and race the AI if you want. This is so much more than people saying this should have been a DLC to NASCAR 25. The new tire model, driving physics, and dynamic track wear has completely changed the game.

Wheel: Thrustmaster T248P It’s an improvement from NASCAR 25. I haven’t ran a full race long enough to see the dynamic track. Career mode needs improvement. Need to be able to race for a team. Or be in a development program. Being able to edit driver ratings is a massive plus especially for career mode. If you’re gonna run a fake universe. The Peak Performance stuff. It’s a good edition for lifting and throttle points. But to experienced drivers it’s useless. The driving model. It feels a bit closer iracing than last year. Which is a good thing. But unlike IRacing. The cars do not handle realistically. For example. At Kansas Speedway. Even on a fixed setup on iracing. I’m able to run about 50-65% wide open the whole lap. The lap times just feel like they could be better. 7/10. Would Recommend if you want a sim-style arcade racing game.
