iRacing Studios NASCAR 26 brings the speed, pressure, and excitement of stock-car racing straight into the living room.

NASCAR 26 Brings Race Day Back
There are plenty of ways to hit the track, whether the goal is building a career, jumping into a quick race, competing for a championship, or taking on other players online.
All four NASCAR National Series are included, along with a brand-new mode centered around The Chase. Pick the competition, fire up the engine, and get ready to fight for the championship at iRacing Studios NASCAR 26.
The racing experience also gets a major authenticity boost through laser-scanned assets from iRacing. Dynamic tracks can change throughout a race weekend, while updated driving physics give each chassis a more refined feel. The new Peak Performance training mode adds another way to improve before taking on tougher competition.
Find the Racing Line
One of the more interesting additions is the Dynamic Track system. The racing surface doesn’t stay exactly the same from practice to the final lap. As the weekend progresses, the track evolves, creating a changing groove that can affect how the car feels and where the best line develops.
Burnouts also get an upgrade in iRacing Studios NASCAR 26. A new particle and smoke system makes those post-race celebrations more dramatic, giving every big win a little extra flair.
iRacing Studios NASCAR 26 also includes an advanced rating system that helps determine a suitable AI difficulty for each track. That makes it easier to find a competitive setting without having to spend ages guessing which level feels right.
Train, Compete, and Chase the Trophy
The new Peak Performance mode puts personalized training at the center of development. Drivers can work through one-on-one sessions with winning crew chief Steve Letarte and Daytona 500 champion Jamie McMurray, helping them prepare for the demands of each series.
Career Mode has also been expanded with personalized training as progression moves through the NASCAR National Series. New garages, facilities, and Door Bumper Clear videos add more to the overall career experience.
For players who want to skip straight to the championship battle, Race the Chase starts things closer to the finish. Competitors can be selected before jumping into the final 10 races and fighting for the championship trophy.
Multiplayer and More Improvements
Cross-play makes online competition more flexible than before in iRacing Studios NASCAR 26. Players on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC can race against one another.
