F1 World item rarities

[Paratyfuz]

I don't understand this. Example:
An epic brake gives me +15 drag reduction and has a score of 141.
An uncommon brake only gives me +3 drag reduction but has a score of 211.
How is that possible? Isn't a higher score supposed to be faster?

The score is pretty much detached from everything else, so as you progress through the World-score, newer parts have a high tendency to be better than what you've equiped right now, but the score is not a representation of what effects it can have.

And secondly, you have the rarity on top of it, which mostly determines the passive effects, so an epic item simply has better bonuses than uncommon ones, but as said, that doesn't affect the score at all.

And yeah, higher scores are definitely faster, so prioritize that over whatever secondary effect you have, especially when they're so far apart.

Danke erstmal :) Also: Je höher der Score, desto besser. Finde das aber doch etwas verwirrend

Jo, aber dazu muss man halt sagen, dass die Boni nicht selten an irgendwelche Bedingungen oder Orte gebunden sind, aber der Score gilt halt überall. Und ansonsten überspringst von 141 bis 211 halt gleich 70 Punkte, da ist der Dragreduktions-Verlust halt auch nicht besonders wichtig. Ansonsten kannst dir aber auch Teile selbst bauen, aber meiner Erfahrung nach ists nicht wirklich notwendig zumindest gegen die KI (hab aber auch nur bei Release gespielt, also ka ob sich da was verändert hat^^)
