Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Dirt 3 leans harder on execution: Car control on loose surfaces is a high physical ceiling
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization6 vs 7
Indianapolis 500: The Simulation leans harder on optimization: Car setup tuning genuinely changes handling and lap times
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
