NASCAR Heat 4 was released back in September 2019 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Along with a Season pass, two DLC packs have been released. Each has mainly focused on pain job, and now the NASCAR Heat 4 November DLC adds more liveries to choose from. Along with ‘3 new challenges’, whatever they might be.
It comes alongside an update with some additions and fixes. The non-DLC patch info is:
- New Competition Mode – With this new addition. While in Quick Race, when running the most difficult AI level setting of (105), you will get an option to race in “Competition Mode” on the Select Track screen. This new competition mode locks certain game settings to provide the ultimate racing challenge.
- Set Drafting Effect Slider – You now have the option to control the power of the draft effect.
Online Strict Cautions – Players now have the ability to enable Strict Cautions for online races. - Some Career Sponsors didn’t use the correct logos – This issue has been resolved.In split screen, player 1 settings were sometimes carrying over to player 2- This issue has been resolved.
- Sonoma Track Layout Update – Updated track layout to match current real-world configuration.
- Added Speed Digital, Motorious, and Off Axis Paint logos to the Paint Booth (all series).
- Added Xfinity Driver: Joe Graf Junior
So that’s the gameplay stuff sorted. But developers Monster Games and publishers 704Games obviously believe that the typical NASCAR Heat 4 player really cares most about paint schemes.
And if they’re right, the DLC so far has certainly delivered, with each pack containing 35+ paint schemes. And the NASCAR Heat 4 November DLC adds more liveries, meaning you get another 50 or so to choose from. In total, around 120 or so new paint jobs have now been released…

Is it good value to get 40+ liveries for £10? Leave a comment below if you’re a NASCAR or NASCAR Heat 4 fan, but it does seem slightly odd in an era when so many racing games include livery editors…
