F1 25vsProject CARS
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
F1 25
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The current entry in the officially licensed Formula 1 racing simulation series.
Project CARS
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Simulation driving precision underpinned by setup tuning and race strategy.
F1 25 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Project CARS leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
F1 25Project CARS
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
F1 25
precise braking, throttle, and racing lines
Project CARS
Braking points and wheel control at the sim limit
Reads1 vs 2
Project CARS leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
F1 25
minor multiplayer positioning reads
Project CARS
Online racecraft against humans adds light positional prediction
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
F1 25
weather and safety-car randomness
Project CARS
Dynamic weather injects some session randomness
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Setup tuning and pit strategy reward deep study
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
