CAREER MODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- What is\nthe difference between being a Driver and being an Owner in Career Mode?<\/strong>
- When\nplaying Career Mode, you will have 2 general paths to take; driver and owner.\nWhen you\u2019re a driver, all you do is race. Just sign a contract and go! When you\u2019re an Owner, you still\ndo the racing, but you\u2019re responsible for the operation of your race team or teams. You will need to hire\nand train employees, upgrade your facilities, purchase cars and create work\nplans for your employees, etc.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- What is\nEquipment?<\/strong>
- You have 3\nareas of equipment when an owner; Aero, Suspension, and Engine. Each car\nchassis can be upgraded in those 3 categories. The level of your equipment determines\nthe amount an employee can upgrade a car chassis in those 3 areas. For example,\nif you have a chassis with an engine rating of 70 and\nassign an employee with an engine rating of 10 to that chassis, that chassis\nwould normally get upgraded to level 80. However, if your engine equipment\nrating was only 75, you would not be able to upgrade your chassis engine beyond\n75. <\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- How do I\nupgrade my Equipment?<\/strong>
- When playing as an owner, you will\nneed to improve your equipment or \u201cdepartments\u201d in order to maximize your car\u2019s\nperformance. Under \u201cWork Plan\u201d, select\n\u201cUpgrade Departments.\u201d From the Department Upgrades screen, highlight an area\nof equipment (Engine, Aero, Suspension, Speed (Pit), or Accuracy (Pit)) and\npress up on your controller. This will display the amount you can upgrade and\nthe cost of that upgrade. Keep pressing up to upgrade even further, but the\nmore you upgrade, the more it will cost! This determines the maximum amount you\ncan upgrade your car, so you\u2019ll want to pump these up to 100 when you can\nafford it.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- How do I attract\nthe attention of race sponsors?<\/strong>
- Sponsors\nare offered upon starting your own team. You will get a few to choose from and\nyou must make a choice that best suits your needs. Each sponsor provides a\nsigning bonus and a payout per race. The amounts vary depending on the sponsor.\nEach year you can sign a new primary sponsor and you will attract better\nsponsors the better you perform during the season. You can view available sponsors\nin the FUTURE PLANS screen.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- How do I attract\nthe attention of race teams?<\/strong>

You will get opportunities to arrange contracts with teams\nthroughout your season and drive with those teams. Teams have certain\nrequirements that you must fulfill in order to sign a contract with them. Head\nto the FUTURE PLANS menu to view the list of all teams and the requirements\nneeded to sign. The better the teams, the tougher the requirements.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Why do I\nneed to own more than 1 Chassis?<\/strong>
- Each car chassis\nis designed for optimal performance for one specific track type (speedway,\nsuperspeedway, road course, etc.). You can race any chassis on any track type,\nbut if you race a chassis not designed for that track type, your car will take\na performance hit. So, it\u2019s best to own a chassis for each track type to stay competitive.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Do I have\nto race in all series?<\/strong>
- No, you do\nnot have to race in all series.

You must, however, participate in at least 1 series in Career\nmode. You can also simulate any races you do not wish to run.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Can I own\nteams in more than series?<\/strong>
- Yes, you\ncan own 1 team in each of the 4 series. If you \u201cown\u201d a team, and then choose to\nbe a \u201cdriver\u201d in that series in a follow-up season, your team will still be there if you decide to become\nan owner in that series again later.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- What can\nI spend my money on in Career Mode?<\/strong>
- You only\nneed money if you own a team. If you\u2019re an owner, you can spend your money on\ncars chassis, improving your equipment\/departments, hiring and training your\nemployees, and purchasing the rights to your team logos. You can earn money as\nboth a driver and an owner. <\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- I\u2019m not\nseeing any Hot Seat offers for the next series and\/or can\u2019t advance to the next\nseries. What do I do?<\/strong>
- You must\nbe on a 5-star team (as a driver) or have been\noffered a 5-star team contract when you chose to be an owner to see Hot Seat offers in the next series. When you do\nmeet that requirement, you will still only get Hot Seat offers in the next\navailable series based on this order: Xtreme Dirt Tour > Camping World Trucks\n> XFINITY > Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. If you don\u2019t meet the above\nrequirement, but win a championship, you will get Hot Seat offers for the next\navailable series in the new season.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Can I\ndrive in a real driver\u2019s car in Career Mode?<\/strong>
- Yes. When\nyou sign a contract to race with another team, you will have two options:\ncreate your own car and join that team as a new teammate or replace a driver on\nthat team. For example, if you sign a contract to race with Hendrick\nMotorsports, you can create your own custom car and race with the #48, #9, #24,\nand #88, or you can choose to hop in one of their existing cars. New to NASCAR\nHeat 4, your name will appear on the back of your car, cementing your status as\na real NASCAR driver!<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
