iRacing Nerd’s NASCAR 25 Physics First Impressions. ALL CARS, NO ASSISTS

NASCAR 25 is finally here, and the physics are already stirring debate. From Cup cars that feel almost icy to road courses that punish even veteran drivers, this game is testing your limits. DJ jumped straight into expert mode with no assists and full difficulty, and what he found might surprise you. The AI is aggressive, drafting and fighting through traffic like a real race, but the learning curve is steep. Force feedback is minimal, brake input is unclear, and every corner demands careful attention. This game is a challenge that forces you to rethink how you approach every track.

• How twitchy and unpredictable will the Cup cars feel on the track?
• Can players rely on the AI to provide a realistic race experience?
• Is mastering road courses a question of skill or guesswork?
• How punishing is the game for mistakes, and will it frustrate casual players?
• Can you truly win on expert, no-assist mode without hours of practice?

NASCAR 25 promises an experience that’s equal parts thrilling and unforgiving. Whether you’re diving into ARCA races at Iowa, bump drafting in super speedways, or battling through tight corners on road courses, every race is an exercise in patience and skill. The game teases chaos and mastery in equal measure.
