Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 10

rFactor 2 leans harder on execution: Industry-leading tyre model rewards only perfect inputs

Reads1 vs 2

rFactor 2 leans harder on reads: Competitive lobbies require some opponent anticipation

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization6 vs 7

rFactor 2 leans harder on optimization: Car setup depth rivals real engineering; fully solvable by experts

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
