How are ratings determined?

Ratings are determined by EA through a series of tangibles – these include:

• Experience (EXP): The number of race starts a driver has over the course of their career
• Racecraft (RAC): The driver’s ability to work their way through the pack and finish in a higher position than where they started
• Awareness (AWA): The less time spent in the Steward’s room will help drivers here. Real-world punishments will impact the score in this category
• Pace (PAC): Benefits those who get closest to the fastest qualifying and race lap times. A driver beating their teammate is also taken into consideration
• Rating (RTG): The combination of the previous four ratings. This overall rating will go up and down throughout the season based on performance.
