Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Project CARS leans harder on execution: Braking points and wheel control at the sim limit
Reads2 vs 2
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
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.
