Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
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.
Variance4 vs 4
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization5 vs 4
DiRT 4 leans harder on optimization: Car choice, setup and rally team progression are solvable systems
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
