World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing 24 Career Mode — Climbing the Ladder

In World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing 24 Career Mode, there are four levels of championship racing for you to push through: Local, Regional, National, and the World of Outlaws. We’ve already covered your ascent through the Local ranks—now it’s time to look ahead to the Regional ranks and beyond.

As we covered earlier, getting to the Regional level requires 15,000 Skill Points (SP). You’ll unlock a whole fleet of cars at the Local level first, with expansion opportunities at 2,500 SP, 5,000 SP, and 10,000 SP; whether you started with the Micro Sprint or Midget, you’ll get the chance to unlock the opposite, the 305 Sprint Car, Street Stock, and UMP and Big Block Modifieds along the way.

When you make it to the Regional level, you unlock a new set of tracks to compete on, as well as the 360 Sprint Car and Pro Late Model as future options for your investment team. You can also hire drivers to compete in events on your behalf if you want to keep one of your cars in action but you’re more focused on a different class.

Compared to the Local level, a full-length Regional season is much longer, and covers much more of the country. With well over 20 races in a full-length season, there’ll be plenty of opportunities for you to score strong finishes and earn the money you need to keep your cars running at the front of the pack. New additions to the schedule come in all directions, taking you as far south as The Dirt Track at Charlotte, home of the World of Outlaws World Finals every November.

Hitting the 50,000 SP threshold sends you up the ranks once more to the National level, where you’ll face some of your most competitive racing yet as you look to join the World of Outlaws. You’ll unlock all of the remaining tracks, as well as the American Sprint Car Series Wingless 410 Sprint Car. At the 75,000 SP level, you’ll unlock your final car below the World of Outlaws level, and thus be eligible to run every Local, Regional, and National championship available.

Fell in love with the cars from your Local experience? They’ve got Regional championships, too! The cars that you unlock at the first two levels of racing will each have series running through the National level. Only the Wingless 410 Sprint Car is exclusive to the National level.

Quick tips:

• Regional cars will build on the skill sets you learned with your Local cars. Things will happen faster, so be prepared to make adjustments—and for things to feel a bit slower if you take a step back!
• While the cars you started with kick off with Level 1 parts and have five levels of quality per part, the 360 Sprint Car and Pro Late Model each have only four. This means more significant upgrades per level, and that maxed out starter parts on those two cars will be slightly better than maxed out starter parts on the Local cars.
• Don’t feel obligated to hang around the Local level once you make the Regional ranks. With a longer schedule and higher payouts, focusing on Regional races is the quickest way to compile the resources you need to build a successful Regional car. The same goes for the National level when you get there!
• Feel like skipping a race? The driver you hire will score points on your behalf in the championship. Much like your equipment, the better the driver you hire, the more expensive they are—but the results and the money you still get to pocket just might be worth it. With so many championships available, you can even hire drivers to a full season and use the money they earn to upgrade the cars you want to drive yourself.
• If you’re planning on taking a lower-level car to a higher-level series, keep in mind that the upgrades you bought for its original level might not cut it at the higher grade. A dominant Local car might be a mid-pack machine at best on the Regional level. Whichever upgrades you felt were most effective at a lower level are probably the same ones that’ll kick you up a notch at a higher one.
