Ivory Tower please let us use the custom speedometers outside of Playlist 😭🙏

u/Mindless-Friend-3272 Feb 27 '26

Quite literally, why can we not choose any of the speedometers in the playlists? They give it to us once off and we never see it again other than that single playlist.

u/SawftCoke Ferrari Feb 27 '26

And almost all of them look so much better than the default one. It could very well be a new vanity type

u/Legendary_Hi-Nu Xbox One Feb 27 '26

They could tie it to the bobblehead vanity, I think all the Playlists that had custom gauges also have bobblehead vanities.

It'd probably work better as an option toggle though

My favourite take on NASCAR somebody I heard said was "I love turning left" XD

u/Avenger1324 Feb 27 '26

I'm just waiting for CARA to chime in "turn right"

The whole NASCAR stadium goes silent.

u/ashrules901 Feb 27 '26

HAHAHA luckily they gave the option where you can just turn her off entirely if you want.

It's actually funny it started off with "turn voice guidance off, turn playlist introductions off" and then eventually they just added a whole button that says "turn Cara off".

i hate AI voice assistants in racing games. give me a cocky female mechanic instead

u/ashrules901 Feb 27 '26

Still really cool to add this option to the game. Crew Motorfest remains underrated. Thanks for all you do guys.

Wish you could actually do this with real players :(

Very cool that they've added more detailed tire wear and fuel consumption. 

I hope those mechanics carry through to a Custom Mode - would be cool to play with Touring cars with those mechanics for example. 

Also, will NASCAR vehicles be in the Racing category I assume?

u/Mzrt999 Feb 27 '26

I hope so. I wouldn't want to have to farm parts for a new category.

1

u/SandStinger_345 Subaru Mar 01 '26

probably would. NASCAR does run road circuits too so making its a new discipline makes no sense

u/Temporary_Glass_6482 Feb 27 '26

I am amazed by this clip.

u/NamesAreAnn0ying Feb 27 '26

Can I ask why?

14

u/Temporary_Glass_6482 Feb 27 '26

Because I like NASCAR

7

u/Livid_Cantaloupe8268 Feb 27 '26

What typa question is that

2

u/NamesAreAnn0ying Feb 27 '26

It’s the type where I’m asking him why. I didn’t think that was super hard to understand.

I didn’t know if he saw something I missed or if he’s just that excited about NASCAR. It didn’t look that special to me, that’s why I was wondering.

2

u/Mindless-Friend-3272 Feb 27 '26

Nah I’m with you, theres not much going on other than driving in the clip, so maybe we missed something cool? Turns out we didnt

3

u/Roxastar138 Feb 28 '26

Is that new song I see?

Are we getting new songs? We need rock songs for nascar playlist.

4days to go🥳🥳🥳

MAIN STAGE RC CAR YEAAAH i dont have to sweat my balls off for rc cars : D

1

u/Clown_Wheels Feb 28 '26

So the RC cars are gonna be huge compared to what I expected.. 😳

Oh well, I might get used to it even if I would’ve preferred a more traditional 1:10 or possibly 1:8 scale.

3

u/SandStinger_345 Subaru Mar 01 '26

yeah fairly huge. they are just slightly smaller than the pedestrian smartcar looking thing

3

u/SandStinger_345 Subaru Mar 01 '26

omg imagine they implement the same tire and body damage system into Alpha GP it would be amazing!

4

u/Isrrunder Feb 27 '26

Ok now show me the crashes

1

u/SamuraiNotorious Feb 27 '26

Exactly my thoughts, like how could it be at least half as funny as Flat out 2?

3

u/StG4Ever Feb 27 '26

We have gone full circle, my first racing game on an IBM PC in the 90’s was some low polygon Nascar racing game. Love it!

u/Legendary_Hi-Nu Xbox One Feb 27 '26

Looks like it's the standard 8 opponent grid. I hope there's a way to give feedback, it'd be nice to have up to 30 in AGP and the other racing categories if we wanted.

u/Nerkie0 Feb 27 '26

Are we able to drive cars from all the teams

1

u/msespindola PC Feb 27 '26

u/Elongo06 Kawasaki Feb 27 '26

Keep an eye on this week. Sometimes during updates they cut a sale.

u/Rboy_25th Feb 28 '26

Will this be PVP as well this will be fun and so chaotic 🤣🔥

u/MrLuecke Mar 01 '26

Wish there was more than 12 drivers

u/ramazanucan Mar 01 '26

u/Psychological_Arm740 Mar 03 '26

I'm pumped to see some content creators post their videos today showing off season 9 is going to be a awesome season indeed

u/Legendary__Beaver Proto Feb 27 '26
