NASCAR Heat 3 Patch #1 Arrives Tonight For Xbox One, Soon For PC & PS4 - Patch Notes Here

Where is the option to sim races? I'm still in the Xtreme Dirt series...About to start my 4th full season there...Won the championship in my 2nd full season. Then I got some truck hot seats in season 3. For that season, I shortened every race to 4% and just sped through as quickly as I could. (still won the championship) Didn't pay much attention to the trucks because I planned to start my own truck team...only to find that I didn't have the option to start my truck team, I assume, because I never met any of the other teams' objectives.

Very annoying...so I'm starting year 4 in Xtreme Dirt. I'd like to just sim all those races and concentrate on getting up to the trucks.

It should come up right when you select "go race", there should be an option next to it that says "sim race" In a big grey box, with black text just like "go race". Are you in owner mode? Maybe it's not an option in driver mode? I have no idea, but as long as you downloaded the patch, it should be there.

So now on top of not being able to view the final standings after completing the last race of a career season, the game is freezing at the incentive contract progress screen after every dirt race in the subsequent season.

Hey guys new to the site, just wondering has everyone had the freezing up problem? If so I'd rather not even do it if it's gonna make it so things like that. Thanks.

And just wondering, why is everyone so worried about skipping races, isn't the whole point of the game to race? I will race anything they put on the schedule. I'm in no hurry, cup series will be there eventually.

I'm not looking to skip races on my way to the Cup series. I'm looking to keep racing select races in lower series while I'm running in the Cup Series full time. You know, like some real life cup drivers do...

The game does not allow that. It only allows you to run full time in multiple series simultaneously. Kind of ironic, since that is not allowed in real life.
