My top 10 that I’d like to see in this new game are as follows

10. Rear view mirrors on views outside the car
9. More sponsors for the paint booth
8. All 3 series with the career mode starting in the Truck series
7. Better pre race ceremonies
6. If they’re going to use the Next Gen car with one lug nut make pit stops realistic and as quick as they would be in real life
5. Unlocking paint schemes and newer tracks
4. Better graphics to show the drivers as they look today
3. Online leagues
2. Burnouts with victory lane celebration not one or the other
1. Must have duel races to set the lineup for the Daytona 500 to start the season

Custom schedule, all three series plus a ground floor series like dirt, modified, late model, or even ARCA, Paint Booth, Fantasy Tracks, and rear view mirrors.

I want...

1. A throwback style mode where you can start your career in 1980 and work forward, racing against legends on throwback tracks.

2. Silly season to feel like a franchise mode

3. Multiple cars per gamer team

4. Truck, Xfinity and Cup racing

5. Custom scheduling for every season of career mode

6. Drivers abilities changing each season, and teams ratings changing each season

7. A paint mode that will allow you to make a realistic looking paint scheme

[curtisharvey]

I want the fantasy tracks etc, but I want them to be unlockable. I miss things like Thunder Plates / Madden Cards

[calebleach]

Yep I agree with all of the except the no Xfinity and trucks I like being able to race my way up I even liked the old games where you would be in the modifieds and get a call to drive a truck or Xfinity and if you perform good you get a contract

[Verigos]

If iRacing was smart... one game release per 3 years: DLC's for each new year for tracks/roster updates... Use the main game as a base, release DLC's for legends, SLM's, etc. If they can nail the main engine/physics, it shouldn't require a new release each year. Saves devs time/effort to better focus on important stuff, and lets be honest, how many people actually do a 20 season career in the one year lifespan of games normally? Makes no sense.

So: pop out NASCAR 25.
- paint scheme DLC's, challenges, bug fixes for the next 3 months, add features

- 1st DLC - 2nd DLC - 3rd DLC (completes the 1 year usual lifespan)
- tracks, maybe additional racing series
- side focus on continually optimizing various aspects, again, fixing any lingering bugs, etc.

Start of Year 2
- DLC for new season update (rosters, tracks for 2026)
- UI refresh
- Continue to release DLC's for paint schemes, features, challenges.

Makes it financially viable (which is a must, like it or not), while being supported for a reasonable amount of time. We do NOT need a brand new roll out every year. If iRacing puts out something very solid, I would completely support a DLC roadmap.

As for features:
- the ability to mod the game if we desire (unlikely, but one can wish)
- VOICE ACTIVIATED CREW CHIEF! Sort of from F1 23, being able to speak to your CC and prep for adjustments, pit strategy on the fly while being able to focus on racing and not toggling menu options is a BIG thing.
- Intimidate/Share draft. This needs to come back in some form with the concepts of Friends/Rivals
- D...N...F... DNQ's would be nice too, but I'll take the ability to DNF if you screw up.
- Option pre-race to 'push the legal envelope' of a car, for respective gains in engine, chassis, aero, etc. Increasing the risk/reward increases the change you will get popped during inspection. Would make for another nice tactical layer that is present in actual racing

Hope they add a feature that it cycles through gen 4, car of tommorow, gen 6 old and new, and gen 7, from 2000 to current, this is probably a bit too much, but its iracing.

[arendrollo]

I’m hoping for lots of stats

Historical sortable stats that both show a drivers entire career up to the game, but also love records them as you progress through a career/season mode

Wins, top 5s/10s, laps lead, points finishes, etc

[greathitnick]

Need a great career mode with driver swaps and owner mode while driving for another team. Plus more options to choose when adjusting your car in practice for raceday

[rexjenkinssimracing]

one thing is that it doesnt have to be a new game every year why not one game every five years or just have NASCAR the game, and bring in the new cars for each year on top of each year

[M_Hall]

So basically...you want a NASCAR Thunder 2004 Remake 😅

[StevenWatters]

Why do I agree with most of this stuff?

The league racing, the paint booth, and the trading paints style paint scheme showcase?
As a league racer, I think all of this would be great ideas!

Absolutely love it!

[zealandwylie]

Give us 80s-2008 stuff, that’s when nascar was nascar and are the most popular eras in nascar. I want to play in a gen 3 or 4 car with rookie Jeff Gordon or dale sr in the speed era. We want the best of nascar. The most popular times in nascar and be able to compete against the greats.

[tanjirouzumaki]

I agree but instead of fantasy tracks do dlc tracks... you know dlc will be a thing... so instead of us paying for paint schemes, just do updates for them and dlc for tracks and cars... anyone hoping for no dlc doesnt understand the market anymore... companies will always do dlc to make more money... so I'd rather pay for tracks/older gen cars and maybe older drivers (legends)

[NASCARFAN]

IMO The new NASCAR Game under the iRacing banner should have the ARCA Menards Series and The Whelen Modified Series alongside All 3 NASCAR Touring Divisions: Trucks, Xfinity & Cup

And they should also add Legendary Even if they aren't necessarily on the Top 75 list

[chapmanstravels]

I’d LOVE a “community creations”, seeing people make paint schemes and uploading them for public download. I don’t know how possible this is but it would be cool.

[MICKEY-LOGANO]

Some of the stuff i would like to see in the next Nascar game is something like
In career mode you can change the schedule and have like the Roval as the championship

[MichaelEarnedIt-]

I got an idea for paint booth:
We feature templeates of real life and fictional paint scheme templates for those whom don’t know how to use photoshop,
And we have a Forza/ trading paint style of paint booth for those of us whom do have photoshop skills.
Also the ability to veiw and share paint schemes the way we can in Trading paints.

I’d also like a Swap car feature where we can take over the other memeber’s a la NASCAR 2006 total team control mixed with elements of NASCAR Thunder 2004.

I’d like to be able to drive cars from different eras through challenges,
Historical tracks that are either defunct or retired from the schedule.

These are just a few basic features I’m thinking of.

[revrasheemstewart]

Custom schedule
Custom racecar
International racetracks
New car Manufacturers
Custom time of day of the race
Old school racecars
Old school racecar drivers
Option for yellow line rule for Daytona and Talladega
Race back to the caution
No stages as an option

[AlexJeezyDaSnowmanRappa]

I like the idea of fantasy tracks especially old and other road course tracks & silly season
