Additionally, staying within the track is essential. Players who hit their apexes properly, following proper racing lines, and hit their breaking points will also receive higher point totals as a result. These provide significantly fewer points than a Clean Overtake which involves passing a car without contact. Bashing into cars is considered a Dirty Overtake.
Their driving ability will also affect the overall total. Where a player ranks in a race will have the highest effect on their point total. Their point value in total will come from their overall performance during the event. This will maximize the multiplier that is connected to how many points they receive. In order to earn the most points in a single session, it is important that players remove as many assists as they can handle and raise the overall difficulty of their AI opponents.
Players are awarded points based on how well they do in a race or Hotlap session. Driver points work the way XP works in most other games.
