LeaderboardvsProject CARS
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

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.

Wind and lie add modest randomness to shots
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.

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.
