TIP: if you're starting at the bottom with your own team and want to speed up progress, simulate the first season's races, upgrading your team as you go. You could probably do this for multiple seasons increasing your bank roll or your team. But when you do decide to step in the car, you're not toiling for scraps at the back.

Here in 2024, and Stewart-HAAS as 5⭐️ feels comedic now. Especially after recent announcements.

I really miss ALL the CLASSIC racers like....Petty, Dale. SR, dupont-Gordon, Waltrips, Rudd, Labonte, Martin, Etc..... We need a NASCAR game with all the classic legends.

What’s the most balanced ai setting with everything at 100. Hard seems easy and you leave the field once your 1st. Legend they take off from you. Is there a exact setting to make it even. Tire wear etc. has to be something I didn’t try yet.

[@caliopie86]

Ya there’s really no balance to the game. I’ve tried to race on legend at my best track with a setup from an esports guy and I could t keep up. I’m hoping the next game is more balanced

[@steqay]

How do you change the backround and font of your number in career mode? I’m talking about in races you see your car number on the map. Do you know how to change it or is it not an option.

[@caliopie86]

I believe that’s tied to primary car color. When you go to change your paint scheme you can change your primary and secondary colors along with the number font.

[@tomorder6113]

Thanks for the video. One question. Does upgrading a car have an effect on simulated races? I'm running cars with about 90-85-85 right now and my sim results seem pretty similar to when I first started out.

[@caliopie86]

No problem. Although I have not tested this, it looks like simulating a race is not consistent. I’ve had my max out car finish 25th but I also have never won a simulated race. With that being said I only skip tracks that I’m probably going to finish as well as simulating or worse. Example I am terrible at road courses so I skip them.

[@walterjaden2980]

You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me

@Walter Jaden instablaster =)

[@rickdoss5659]

Thanks for the video! Good stuff to remind me of since I may be starting a new career mode soon. One thing I've often wondered but couldn't figure out, when you bump one of your departments up from say, 70 to 75 for either engine, suspension or aero, is there a value associated with that? Or are there other variables that it takes into account? For example, if you bump engine from 70 to 75, is there a set number assigned to that, in HP for instance. Like, 70 would be 400 HP but 75 is worth up to 405/410 HP? Not sure if that makes any sense but figured I'd ask. 🙂

[@caliopie86]

My answer to your question would be yes, but the game does not make it known what the actual increases are so I would assume that your way of thinking is on track we just don’t know for sure

[@jeremylong5728]

What’s up with getting good reputation. I get tweets and I’m always positive, I race clean and rarely ever have any bad tweets they are normally good and yet they stay the same. So what am I to do. I have raced like 20 seasons and I race on custom settings. Please help

[@caliopie86]

Idk, normally when you reply positive the drivers eventually become your friends. If you have access to the top teams contracts I wouldn’t worry about it that’s all that rep is good for.

[@mertegetiftikcioglu740]

ım not doing anything wrong but when ı upgrade my car before a race ı just cant upgrade it it says harsh driving no saving please help!!!

[@caliopie86]

I'd have to simulate this and see but im assuming you cant upgrade because you'll only be able to fix the car?

[@kenschiavo191]

If you want setting at NORMAL, just make it custom with the same setting numbers, then you can do all the tuning!

Bro its way cheaper for you on the deluxe edition than those on the normal to upgrade cars. It cost me about 2.6 mil just for the second car and gets more the more you do. To fully upgrade 1 car is about 20 mil on normal game. Might add that difference so people aren't talking about the difference.

your talking about when you own a race team correct? which series in particular are you referring to?

[@murat.452t]

Can you take your upgrade car with max departments from the carrer and race with it online ?

[@murat.452t]

Or can you just use your own paint shema in online.

[@caliopie86]

No just the paint scheme. The online cars should be the same. Just need to worry about custom setups or what preset your going to use. Then it comes down to your skill.

[@danielh2049]

What i dont understand is why durring 2 seasons in dirt racing i was able to race fine on easy mode settings win a lot races then i go to race in truck race for 3 seasons win alot the races plus 2 championships on easy mode settings then i go to bucsh series for a season win 7 races come short of champion in easy mode setting but soon i go to drive in cup race on easy mode settings, i get constanly passed cause the car is slow like a slug. Could that mean the game is messing up or what?

[@caliopie86]

The reason I can come up with is your reputation is low and you did now qualify for a top tier nascar team. You have to make sure to keep your rep up to have access to the better teams

[@austinmagill344]

Is there a way that I can leave a team I didn’t want to join? For example, I want to start my own xfinity team but I’m forced to join a team. Is there a way I can leave that team?

[@caliopie86]

You can only make those decisions at the beginning of the season. If you’re in the middle of the season my best advice would be to simulate until the end of the year then choose to start a team. Only other option is to delete career and start over.

If we join a team, do we keep the money we earn while driving for the team to put towards our own team if we decide to start our own team at the end of the season?

[@caliopie86]

Yes, the team star rating can effect this as well. I believe you earn a little more once you own a team.

Btw I ramble cause I don’t have a script and that doesn’t work well with A.D.D. and being a talker 😂😂😂

[@Rseabs]

Great video mate So if I just start the career as normal is it better join a team or start my own team ?

[@Rseabs]

I have the gold edition if that makes a difference

[@caliopie86]

The gold edition starting money will help but you would need to start a truck team to make it worth it. I like joining a team until I have enough to start a truck team. You will need about 4.5mil to have a fully upgraded truck team. I have a cost video that breaks that down
