Each driver and each car is μ ± σ : μ is the skill estimate (higher = faster), σ how
unsure we are. Combined = driver + car — what drives projections. Units are
log-odds: a gap of 1.0 means finishing ahead about 73% of the time, before grid position. The car
gets what its two drivers share; a driver is rated on how he does against his teammate.
Rookies and new cars start wide and tighten as they race; a driver in his first 25
starts stays wide, so he is re-rated quickly; every winter car σ is re-inflated (cars are
redesigned, more so in a regulation-reset year like 2026) and driver σ bumped a little. Car/mechanical
DNFs don't count against a driver. The sim draws both skills from these distributions per replay.
