Question type: General

Why do I lose in the races when i have higher ratigns?

2 Answers

I assume you are talking about "crazy races"... Higher ratings increase your chance of winning but don't guarantee that you win. For example, if your car's rating is 9 and your opponent's is 5 then odds are 9 to 5 that you would win. hope it helps.

Hi Bill, The Power Ratings are essentially your odds. So if yours is 50 opponent's is 25, then you have a 2 out of 3 chance of winning (50 / (25 + 50)). So, you can still get massively unlucky, but the bigger the spread, the better your chances.
