What you need

Steps

  1. Open the garage or career hub and find the upgrade computer. Use it to browse parts before you spend money on a car.

  2. Check the repair and insurance menus. Compare the cost of fixing damage against your balance so you do not waste cash early.

  3. Open the upgrade menu and fit handling parts first, such as better tyres and suspension. Test the car after each change.

  4. Build the engine in stages and keep an eye on weight and cargo. A lighter, balanced car is easier to control.

  5. Adjust controller sensitivity and turn on driving assists if the car feels twitchy. Lower assists as you improve.

  6. Take early career missions that pay well for short drives. Bank the money before buying expensive parts.

  7. Service your car and complete delivery missions carefully. Damage cuts your payout, so drive smoothly.

  8. Set traffic options to suit your skill and use rewind when you crash. Practise in free play before harder events.

Tips and common mistakes

Fit cheap handling upgrades before engine power so the car stays controllable.

Check insurance and repair costs before big crashes drain your career balance.

Delivery missions reward clean driving, so slow down on tight corners.

Use rewind to learn tracks instead of restarting the whole event.

Questions

Do I need to play career mode to use upgrades?

No. You can test parts in free play, but career mode gives you money to buy them.

Are the PS5 controls hard to learn?

They take a little practice. Lower the sensitivity and keep assists on until you feel comfortable.

How do I earn money fast at the start?

Run short, high paying early missions and avoid expensive repairs by driving carefully.
