Description

There are more ways to race than ever before in NASCAR Heat 3! Jump into the enhanced Career Mode, where you can build your own race team and compete in the all-new Xtreme Dirt Tour. Prove that you are the best racer in the world in the all new Online Tournaments feature. At-track stories now mean that anything can happen on race day, just like in real-life! Plus, all your favorites are back and better than ever, including Split Screen, Challenge, Championship, 40-player online, and more. Buckle up! NASCAR HEAT 3 is the racing game you’ve been waiting for!

• Xtreme Dirt Tour - In addition to the 3 NASCAR National Series (NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, NASCAR XFINITY Series, and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series), players can sling some mud in this all-new dirt fantasy series.

• Online Tournaments - Compete against others from across the globe in daily and weekly tournaments. Lay down a great race time and qualify for the Finals in your skill bracket. Win your bracket for ultimate bragging rights.

• 8 New Tracks - 8 all-new dirt tracks, including dirt racing at Bristol Motor Speedway and NASCAR Heat’s first ever dirt road course. The final Charlotte Roval layout and the overhauled ISM (formerly Phoenix) Raceway have also been added.

• Deeper Career Mode – Make a name for yourself in the all-new Xtreme Dirt Tour and advance to NASCAR’s 3 National Series. Sign contracts with some of the biggest teams in NASCAR or start your own team, build your own staff, and see if you can bring home the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship.

• Stories – Before the green flag waves, get live-updates on your race. Watch as a driver gets sent to the back for a technical violation. Get updates on who’s having a good weekend, and who’s struggling.

• Racing Line – Practice now includes a racing line that gives real-time feedback on the optimal line and speed to run at your current track.

• AI Enhancements – AI pit behavior has been revamped. AI difficulty has also been tuned to provide a challenge to players off all skill levels.

• Pre-Made Car Setups – For those who want a faster car, but don’t like tuning in the garage, NASCAR Heat now offers 9 pre-defined car setups, including 3 loose and 3 tight setups.

• Plus, so much more…

*As of April 30, 2021, the Online Multiplayer servers will no longer be available. All Offline features will continue to be accessible, including Local Split Screen Multiplayer for head-to-head racing.

Most of my" 14 hours" played has been trying to get the damn game to work. I get the opening video - with the hour glass. And then nothing but the endless hourglass with various other songs until I eventually kill it.

I lost 60+ hours of save career time due to a crash. Then 8+ more hours lost do to a 2nd crash. So definitely do NOT buy this game because there is NO steam save cloud. And there is even NO save game log file to

Honestly this game just keeps bringing up good ol' memories and keeps the fun coming. I know it may be a lil biased of me since I'm a race car driver myself but highly recommend this game for casual and serious drivers.

NASCAR Heat 3, developed by Monster Games and published by 704 Games Company, represents a pivotal entry in the modern NASCAR Heat revival. Released in 2018, it builds directly on the groundwork laid by NASCAR Heat 2

I had fun once I got the right LGHUB version installed. It looks really good. Plenty of modes. You even get to race a funny car. I recommend it.
