Quote from: Ted on June 02, 2026 @ 01:40 AMA youtuber popped up in my feed that plays a ton of driving sims and he was showing off some grand prix races in Assetto Corsa and Automobilista that really caught my attention. But then one of his videos showed the old Grand Prix Legends title from 1998, still supported and heavily modded. I bought that game on release but could never get into it very well because my PC at the time couldn't handle it. Now all these years later it's a free download with a wealth of content made over the years. I spent all weekend racing 1967 Grand Prix over classic tracks. So hard and technical, but really fun.
Your journey from "Formula Legends is the kind of driving I prefer these days" to "I'm about to start modding Grand Prix Legends" had fewer intermediate stops than I was expecting!
The YouTuber in question sounds a lot like GPLaps but if it wasn't, and if you haven't already, he's well worth looking up. Really knows his stuff and if you dig back through his archive, he's showcased all kinds of GPL mods. You'll undoubtedly end up buying both Automobilista titles if you spend too long on his channel but you'll get over that after a short while, I swear it.

Unfortunately not. The closest you can come to that is the practice session in the Quick Races. All tracks/cars are available and you can run your practice for up to an hour. It tracks your lap times and your best lap for the entire time you stay in practice.

Can you simply run hot lap/time trial in Nascar 25?

Could not agree more. I find it very annoying.

Well, there's no 20% race length in Nascar 25 - it goes from 13% to 25%. My race at Charlottesville was 100 laps, which should have realistically taken me about 50 - 55 minutes to complete. With interruptions, it took me a little over 2 hours, so I may have to stick with 13% races with 4x tire wear/gas consumption for now. I wish there was an option for either 18% or 20% race lengths.

Yes, Series X has a 4K disc drive and OG PS5 had digital and disc versions. PS5 Slim and Pro have an add-on drive.

I didn't know they still made discs for the consoles. Does my Series X even have a drive? I've never checked.

I'm completely hooked on Nascar 25. Right now I'm running through all the tracks and trying out different cars to finalize my settings before starting a career. I currently have my race length set to 13% but I'm going to bump it up to 20% for my next race. I also have my tire wear and fuel consumption set to 2x. I'll probably switch that to 4x so I get at least 3 pit stops at 20% race length.
The AI difficulty goes from 80 to 105 (not sure why they didn't just go from 0 to 25). I'm currently at 95 and can win on the bigger tracks, but I still get my ass kicked on road courses and tracks 1 mile or less. I'll probably settle in somewhere between 98 - 100.
I also downloaded and played a game of NBA 2k26. It's still animation heavy and I suck on defense, but I think I'm going to enjoy it. The graphics are quite impressive and it didn't seem to force VC on you while navigating the menu, but...
