Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
DiRT 4 leans harder on execution: Procedural stages still demand consistent throttle and apex discipline
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 4
DiRT 4 leans harder on variance: Procedurally generated stages prevent full route memorisation
Optimization5 vs 5
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
