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

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A kart racer testing handling execution under item-driven chaos.
The Crew
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Open-world racing MMO spanning a condensed United States.
Speed Punks leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); The Crew leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Tight kart handling and boost timing decide races
The Crew
car control across long cross-country races
Reads2 vs 2
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Track shortcuts and item usage have learnable answers
The Crew
car specs and route choice are tunable
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.
