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.
