Players have 40 points to allocate among these car skills:
Reliability: The reliability reduce the chance of a breakdown.
Maniability: The maniability increases the car's ability to turn and corner at high speeds.
Max speed: The max speed increases the car's top speed and acceleration.
Brakes: The brakes increase the car's braking power and reduce the stopping distance.
Car balance: The balance increases the car's stability and reduce the chance of spinning out.
Aerodynamics: The aerodynamics increase the car's downforce and reduce the chance of losing grip.
Drivers Skills: The driver skills increase the driver's skill and reduce the chance of making mistakes.
Luck: The luck attributes will boost all your car's attributes by a small percentage. But decrease it too much and the opposite will happen!
Each attribute has 3 positive and 3 negative factors that affect the time calculation. The positive factors amplify each other, while the negative ones neglect their effect. The description can be found below:
Speed:
Positive Factors:
Aerodynamics: Good aerodynamics reduce drag and enhance speed.
Driver Skills: Skilled drivers can make better use of high speed.
Reliability: Reliable cars can sustain high speeds over longer distances.
Negative Factors:
Brakes: Poor brakes can reduce the effectiveness of high speed, especially in technical sections.
Weather: Poor weather conditions can reduce the effectiveness of high speed.
Car Balance: Poor car balance can reduce the effectiveness of high speed.
Brakes:
Positive Factors:
Driver Skills: Skilled drivers can make better use of brakes, reducing stopping distance.
Car Balance: Good car balance helps in effective braking.
Reliability: Reliable brakes perform consistently under different conditions.
