I once using a class A car say Lamboghini racing with a class B Car (Sierra Cosworth in a fully tarmac road, both cars are fully updated, and yet the class A car 5-10 mins behind the cosworth after the race. I was wondering how much of these factor affects the the person to win the game

1)the skill gap btw two drivers

2)Tarmac factor which improves the car runs on the road

Anyone?

1. Skill gap's effect is large, i dont know exactly how much it affects compared to the car's stats though, but it is very important.

2. Yes, the tarmac/dirt factor is huge. That's why the sierra cosworth is the best on mudpit and dirt-specialised cars do better on hybrid tracks than tarmac cars.

Tarmac and Dirt upgrades will make a big difference, driver skill shows over a lot of games but there is a big random element. In some games with a stock car I beat players with 2x my drivers experience by a large margin and lost to them the next time by just as much. I feel the random element is pretty strong.

The random factor is big enough that one race means very little.

If you're interested in learning more about racing, there is a racing sub-forum where  most of the racing discussion takes place.
