changed🏆 The Leaderboard: Only SPEED matters here! It doesn't matter how much damage your car takes. If you finish first with 99% damage, you get the rank. The leaderboard is for the true speed junkies.
changed⭐ The 3-Star System: This is for the perfectionists. The 5% damage limit is tough – but it’s there to prove you've mastered the track. To get 3 stars, you need the perfect line.
