What does skill level do?
With higher skill, you get faster track times. There is still a fair amount of randomness, so a driver with lower skill can sometimes still beat someone with higher skill, but higher driver skill will help your odds.
I do a lot of 100 lap races (mostly on Docks) to help raise driver skill.
My skill level is 4.35 and I beat friend who has skill level 11+. Same car, but my car has better upgrades.
Like I said, there is still a fair amount of randomness. I've beaten people with over double my skill, and I've lost to people with less than half my skill. In any individual race, unless it's a very extreme difference, anyone can win. Maybe even if there *is* an extreme difference.
But the skill level does help. If two people run a bunch of races with matching cars and same upgrades, and one has signifigantly higher skill than the other, then the higher skill guy will probably win more races. But he probably won't win them all, due to the random factor.
