Experience (EXP) is calculated based on how many starts a driver has, while racecraft (RAC) is dependent upon a driver’s ability to finish higher than where they started. Next is awareness (AWA), which rewards racers who spend time studying film, and finally pace (PAC), which rewards those who finish with the fastest Race and Qualifying lap times. Or drivers who are able to create separation between them and their teammates.
