Vehicle from Template Doesn't Do Anything

In UE5.4, I have no idea how the vehicle blueprint works and I can’t get anytihn to move when I added a new level and imported a map to use. I don’t know which sportscar thing I’m supposed to used. I tried various settings for the advanced pawn and nothing is working, In the templaate it just has playertstart with a capsule around it and nothing underneath for the car that somshow appears and is driveable. If I copy and paste it into the new level, the car follows a viewport camera or something and falls into the abyss.

TL;DR How do I add a driveab;e version of the sportscar from the template into a new map/level?

The vehicle Pawns are here:

A new level needs a Game Mode (which has a controller and spawns the vehicle pawn):

An offroad Game Mode would spawn the assigned Pawn:

You could use a Player Start to tell the Game Mode where to spawn it.

Alternatively, you can place a pawn in the level manually, and either Possess it on Begin Play, or enable auto possession in its Class Defaults. But you still need a Game Mode + Controller for many other things.
