How Does Garage Chief Work?

  • Garage Chief is a setup assistant — not an auto-tuner.

  • It helps you understand what to change, why, and in what order, based on how the car feels to you on track.

  • You stay in control the entire time.

 

Does Garage Chief change my setup automatically?

  • No. Garage Chief never changes your setup for you.

  • It reads your current setup, analyzes the issues you select, and gives step-by-step adjustment suggestions.

  • You decide what to apply, test it on track, and then come back for more feedback if needed.

 

How do I use Garage Chief the right way?

  1. Select your track and series

  2. Choose the handling issue(s) you’re feeling

  3. Click Generate Crew Chief Feedback

  4. Start with STEP 1 suggestions (biggest impact, easiest to feel)

  5. Run a few laps and see how the car responds

  6. Re-run Garage Chief if needed — you can keep the same issue or choose a new one

You don’t need to apply everything.
Pick what fits your driving style and comfort level.

 

What do the steps mean?

  • STEP 1 — Start Here

    • These are the highest-impact changes that most drivers will feel immediately.

    • Try 1–2 of these first.

  • STEP 2 — If Still Happening

    • Support adjustments if the problem improves but doesn’t fully go away.

  • STEP 3 — Fine Tuning

    • Small polish changes once the car is close and stable.

 

Why does Garage Chief tell me to re-run it?

Because setup tuning is iterative, just like in real racing.

Each change affects how the car behaves.
Garage Chief works best when you:

  • Apply a change

  • Feel what it does

  • Then ask for the next adjustment based on new feedback

 

Can I switch tracks without losing my work?

  • No.

  • Garage Chief automatically:

    • Loads a fresh baseline for the new track

    • Makes everything editable for that track/setup

    • Then uses a single personal draft behind the scenes so nothing breaks while you create the setup you're working on.

  • You can switch tracks as often as you want.

 

What if I don’t agree with a suggestion?

  • That’s totally fine — and expected.

  • Garage Chief is built to:

    • Offer logical options

    • Not force a “one-size-fits-all” setup

  • If a suggestion doesn’t match how you drive:

    • Skip it

    • Try a different step

    • Or choose a different issue and re-generate

 

Is this for fast setups or race-trim setups?

  • Both.

  • Most tracks in NASCAR 25 reward aggressive camber and low pressures for raw speed.

  • Garage Chief helps you:

    • Start fast

    • Then back off where needed for tire wear, stability, or confidence

  • Superspeedways and street courses are handled more conservatively.

 

Is Garage Chief finished?

  • Garage Chief is actively evolving.

  • New handling issues, tracks, and tuning logic will be added based on:

    • Community feedback

    • Game updates

    • Real-world testing

  • If something feels missing — that’s exactly what soft testing is for.
