Notes
A big count for a racing game: ~330 cards, all Standard American (56x87mm). Every player has their own shuffled Speed/Heat/Stress deck plus shared Upgrade and Event decks, so wear adds up fast - budget 4 packs (roughly 400 sleeves). The Heavy Rain expansion adds more cards of the same 56x87mm size. Sleeved decks still fit the box, but the tray gets snug, so keep sleeve thickness modest (40-60 micron) if you want the insert to close.
The same sleeves fit these games
