The 4 Sections
The 4 Sections
You were introduced to the 4 sections during the tutorial, If you want a look back at them There are linked below. Each section is graded out of 25 and provide a total score out of 100!

We will also scale all scores by up to ±10% cumulatively to factor in Price, Service Costs and Reliability. All this will be done through the equation below.

This section will make sure you meet the minimum core requirements for the challenge. It mostly focuses on components that are selected so that they maintain function and fairness.
This section will cover all the aesthetic fixtures that you can place to build up your car and make it feel "real". Remember you can have a maximum of 300 fixtures on each vehicle.
This section is judged from a compound of various tests. It aims to measure a cars performance relative to others. The test vary from car to car so be mindful to tailor your vehicle to maximise your score.
The most subjective section. Judges on a panel will judge the character of your car in order to work out how well it fits the judgement criteria! Read the briefs carefully to do better at this.
How we standardise the Performance Testing
How we standardise the Performance Testing
To ensure every car gets a fair shot we will run the car the same way
We ensure all vehicles are freshly reset in Beam.NG before each test
All ESC settings are switched off as well as Beam driver assistance
Cars are run in default if manual differential setting (Hi-2)
Cars will be rev launched to give them the best shot
We record the best scores aver a maximum 7 runs
We only ever enter RAW input data into our calculator

Maths: Regression, Averages and Stuff
There's a lot of maths behind the scenes to make sure everyone's car can be fairly graded. This is the big detailed dive into that so you know how it all works. This is where the calculator is explained.
XCM has created our own Calculator which we use for working on the rankings and performance metrics of every car. We decided that it's more fair if every car was judged against themselves and not given a fixed value.
To achieve this we decided to use the function below:
f( x ) = 0.1x³ + 2.5
How this works is you'll get a score based on how far away you are from the average of the group. We use an average that weights in both the mean and median. These will all adjust automatically as new cars are added. The maths has been designed to reward significant outliers heavily. We do this for EVERY section and for many of the tests individually.
We may change the factor of this modifier for the sake of rebalancing over time. However, the basic equation will remain the same. Check the news if there is a large change to this equation!
Auto makers that consistently score within one standard deviation of the mean will be more likely for an invite to become a 'Canon Make'
