Car Attributes
Your main objective in the game if you want to be competitive is to create a car with balanced attributes. They are equally important, as you’ll be racing in different types of tracks. Have that in mind specially while installing parts in your car. Now, based on the Duck car image below, let’s talk about the Car Attributes
Durability (Dur): This attribute can only be raised while upgrading the car, spending Research Data. This action is permanent, so you should think wisely if you want to wait for a golden aura or not. This attribute measures the resistance of your car. Higher it is, more it can stand without being repaired.
Speed (Spd): It reflects the top speed your car can reach. High Speed means your car will suffer more damage, so be careful.
Acceleration (Acc): Mainly it’s how fast you gain speed while racing. Important for curvy tracks.
Handling (Hndl): If the car has a high handling, it’s easier to control thus the driver won’t break and lose much speed in curves.
Expansion (Exp): That’s the number of slots your car has, which means the number of parts that can be installed simultaneously in the car.
Symbols
The following attributes are measured with symbols. x is the worst possible, a triangle is bad, a circle is normal and a circle with a smaller circle inside is good.
Advertising (Adv): Shows if the vehicle is good to advertise. The example, a Duck Car, has a circle with a smaller circle inside, meaning that racing with it is a good way to get the attention of your sponsors.
Repair (Rep): This one shows if the car is easily repaired. That affects the repair time
On road (On-Rd): Shows if the vehicle is good on paved road circuits. Note that they are the most numerous type of track
Off Road (Off-Rd): Shows if the vehicle is good on off-road circuits
Icy Road (Icy Rd): Shows if the vehicle is good on icy road circuits
Car Drive
When building your car, you’ll also need to choose a drive type. This will affect almost all its attributes, so you should be cautious, planning your cars according to your next races
Drive FR: INCREASES Speed and Acceleration; DECREASES Repair, Off-Rd and Icy-Rd. This one will be your main drive throughout the game, as most of the races will be On-Rd, not affected by the decreased attributes. You should be aware that it makes the car more expensive and harder to repair.
Drive FF: INCREASES Durability. Although not very useful for racing in general, until later in the story when you’ll unlock new Drives, this one will be your main option for Off-Rd and Icy-Rd circuits, as you don’t have any penalty in those abilities. Also, it’s the cheapest one, useful also in the beginning of the game.
