The last major release was probably EA’s NASCAR ‘09 (if you don’t count this year’s NASCAR expansion for Forza Motorsport 6, or its inclusion in Gran Turismo 6), but the licence expired after that and eventually ended up at Eutechnyx, where it stayed until this year, when Monster Games took up the mantle.įeaturing all 23 tracks from 2016’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (plus a couple of regular tracks like Sonoma Raceway), this new game offers one of the most comprehensive and realistic representations of the motorsport to date. Even die hard petrol heads will struggle to find that interesting, when watching it on TV.Įven in video game terms, the NASCAR games haven’t exactly set the world on fire. Without the race day atmosphere beside the track, the smell of burning rubber and exhaust fumes, the roar of 800+ horsepower engines drowning out your own thoughts, it’s essentially watching fifty-odd cars driving around an oval for a few hours. Outside of the US NASCAR will always be a tough sell.
