The latest NASCAR 26 developer diary details major force feedback changes for wheel users, alongside an overhauled tyre model, revised braking behaviour and the new Dynamic Track system. iRacing Studios has revealed more about how NASCAR 26 will drive when it launches in September 2026, with its latest developer diary focusing on handling, controller configuration and force feedback. Wheel support is receiving particular attention, with the development team promising substantial improvements compared with NASCAR 25. The changes are part of a broader driving model update that also includes reworked tyres, more demanding braking behaviour and a dynamic racing surface that evolves during a session. Together, these systems are intended to make NASCAR 26 more responsive to dedicated sim racing hardware while also providing additional configuration options for different types of players. NASCAR 26 Force Feedback Receives Major Changes Force feedback is one of the main areas iRacing Studios has targeted following NASCAR 25. The development team says it has gained deeper access to the underlying FFB code for NASCAR 26, allowing it to make more substantial changes rather than simply adjusting the previous game’s existing force feedback configuration. One of the challenges is supporting a wide range of hardware, from entry-level steering wheels to considerably more powerful Direct Drive bases. NASCAR 26 will therefore feature a new default force feedback profile, while additional adjustable parameters will allow users to tune the response more closely to their specific wheelbase and preferred settings. More Wheel and Controller Calibration Options NASCAR 26 will also expand the calibration tools available for racing wheels and controllers. Rather than relying on broadly similar settings across very different hardware, the additional options are designed to give players more control over how steering forces and inputs are interpreted by the game. This should be particularly relevant for Direct
