Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. NASCAR Heat Evolution allows NASCAR fans for the first time ever to race against the world’s best stock car drivers on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.

With a release date of September 13 announced in May, NASCAR fans still have some more time to wait until they get their hands on the game. In the meantime, Dusenberry Martin Racing, makers of NASCAR Heat Evolution, have already released several videos, pictures and Q&A’s for the game. So here is what we know so far.

Chatter is everywhere

Like any racing simulation game (see F1 2016), race fans have their opinions on how a game should look and feel. As a previous frequent gamer of NASCAR Racing 2003 on PC, NASCAR 06 from EA Sports to the current NASCAR 15 Victory Edition, I too have my opinions of what a racing game should look and feel like.

The great part about all of this is that we now have a subreddit to discuss this on. The DMRNASCARHeat subreddit is full of dialogue, photos, videos and links debating up to the minute knowledge of the game. A good synopsis of what is known so far can be found here.

If you are a fan of video games, racing video games or NASCAR in general, it may be a good idea to bookmark this to keep up with the chatter.

Drivers in the game

Is your favorite driver in the game? Chances are, yes. Through gameplay and beta footage, it can be seen that there are indeed more than 40 drivers in the game. Whether or not you will be able to race with drivers such as Erik Jones, Matt Tifft and Tyler Reddick in career mode or season mode is yet to be determined. Either way, a full field of drivers with current paint schemes is planned. There has also been a hint that there will be an updated with 2017 paint schemes before next season.

No paint booth

This is a big disappointment to many. DMR confirmed that there will not be paint booth feature available in the current NASCAR Heat Evolution game or through an update.

@RealColinHudson It's not likely that paint booth would be added as an update. We need enough time to make it perfect for fans. — DMR NASCAR Heat (@dmrnascarheat) May 26, 2016

Gameplay footage

Brandin Tyrell from IGN sat down with Matt Dusenberry from DMR to talk about NASCAR Heat Evolution, which gave us all a glimpse of some gameplay footage. Good or bad, you can be the judge. Either way, this looks like the first of a few videos DMR will roll out in anticipation of their release date.

Carl Edwards will be on the cover

Edwards raced his way onto the cover by beating out his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates at this year’s All-Star race. This will be the first time ever that a Toyota will be on the cover of a NASCAR game. Take a look at the NASCAR Heat Evolution cover.
