RECREATION ~75% ESTIMATED
Playable · full-game systems unfinished
Car, tyre, suspension, drivetrain and collision systems run with AI, menus and race presentation. Recorded checks include 1,521 physics assertions and captured-game trace comparisons.
In place
- Driving simulation, AI, collisions/damage and race/menu/HUD support.
- All 47 original layouts documented playable in the reference.
- Scoped original trace and cross-engine trajectory comparisons.
Still to do
- Upgrades and remaining career/race-flow details.
- Live steering/controller acceptance and endurance/pitting checks.
- Remaining camera, sound and rendering fidelity.
About this estimate
A substantial playable recreation with unfinished full-game systems; this is not a claim of a finished original career or online mode.
PLUS ~60% ESTIMATED
Expanded-grid work in development
Shared recreation work includes support for 40-car grids and control/usability improvements. A 50–60-car multi-class field remains a goal, not a completed feature.
In place
- 40-car AI/contact and race-grid support.
- Steering/deadzone and race-interface improvements.
- Recorded larger-field and controller diagnostics.
Still to do
- Larger-field performance and gameplay acceptance.
- Define and finish the final enhanced-edition scope.
- 50–60 cars, multi-class and rolling-start goals remain open.
About this estimate
A tentative estimate for the documented enhancement work, not a separately certified Plus release. Its final scope still needs consolidation.
