BUILD YOUR CAR

To keep it focused. One tweet, two clear targets, two clear thresholds. If every stat were on the table every week, the engagement bar gets diluted and the cycles stop meaning anything. Two lowest stats = the ones that need it most = clearest path to a faster car.

We break the tie alphabetically by stat name (Aero before Chassis before Drag, etc.). It's a coin flip dressed up — but it keeps things deterministic and visible.

Yes. The system doesn't check wallets. Anyone on X can like or RT the official upgrade tweet. The only gate is authenticity — real engagement from real accounts. The loudest garage wins, not the deepest one.

No bonus upgrades. Max +1 per stat per week. 500 likes earns the same upgrade as 50. Once the threshold's crossed, the stat moves. Anything above is bragging rights — and that's the point. We want communities pushing every cycle, not stockpiling one viral tweet.

We manually review for authenticity before counting. Obvious spam clusters, brand-new accounts with no posting history, coordinated reply rings, paid engagement pods — all filtered. Public guideline: engagement reviewed for authenticity. The spirit: real fans, real cars, real races.

Yes — directly. Stats feed into the simulation engine. A team that consistently hits its upgrades will pull ahead in lap times, tyre management, and overtakes. A team that ignores its cycles falls behind. The championship will be won partly on track, partly on timeline.

We're soft-launching the system now so everyone gets familiar with it. The first live upgrade cycle — where stats actually move — runs the Monday after Race 0. Exact date locks when the Race 0 schedule drops.

Same rules apply from the moment they're locked in. They get their first upgrade cycle the Monday after they join. Late starters can absolutely catch up — five upgrade cycles per stat is a lot of headroom.
