The 2026 North American Showdown event is happing this weekend and there are a couple of new things here in our guides for you – first of all, this is a legacy event which means that Legendary drivers are allowerd (and even boosted) so we worked really had in reworking out driver recommendations to give you the overall best pairing (which includes legendary drivers if they are enabled in an event) but also classic and alternatives as this has been the number one request from you gus to have the possibility to see non-legendary driver options. So, we have it in our series guides since last week and now also in our event guides which we hope you all find helpful.
Please also mind that we update our regular series guides every week with the Featured Assets that have a stats boost – check out Series 3 here, Series 4 here, Series 5 here, Series 6 here, Series 7 here, Series 8 here, Series 9 here, Series 10 here, Series 11 here and Series 12 here.
⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️ Please make sure to select the right class below.
