Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 8

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads1 vs 2

Project CARS leans harder on reads: Online racecraft against humans adds light positional prediction

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization5 vs 6

Project CARS leans harder on optimization: Setup tuning and pit strategy reward deep study

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
