🏎️Cars

Cars are the core NFT assets in Meta Racing. Each car belongs to a specific class and rarity tier, which determines its base parameters, upgrade potential, and racing strategy. Cars function both as high-performance machines and collectible assets that drive player progression.

Car Composition

Every car consists of three main elements:

Component	Description
Car	A unique on-chain asset with a class, rarity, and visual appearance
Parts	Modular components (wings, tires, engines, etc.) that enhance car characteristics
Pilot	An NFT pilot that can be assigned to improve performance

---

Car Classes

Class is a fundamental attribute that determines both the vehicle's appearance and its capabilities. Each class has a distinct performance profile.

Available Classes

Class	Strengths	Weaknesses
Muscle	Powerful acceleration, high top speed	Poor handling
Sport	Superior handling	Moderate acceleration and speed
Vintage	Unmatched durability, stable speed	Weak acceleration
Road	Balanced characteristics	Slightly increased speed

Note: Additional classes are planned for future updates.

Rarity Tiers

Rarity is a key attribute that affects a car's base characteristics and visual features. Higher rarity tiers provide advantages during NFT generation.

Rarity Levels

Tier	Description
Common	Standard characteristics
Uncommon	Slightly improved stats
Rare	Notable improvements
Epic	Significantly enhanced
Legendary	Maximum potential

Drop Rates from Carbox

Rarity	Drop Rate
Common	60%

Car Skills

Each car has four core parameters that determine its performance on different track sections:

Skill	Effect	Best For
Acceleration	Speed gain over time	Straight sections
Handling	Cornering ability	Technical tracks with turns
Durability	Performance on rough terrain, affects degradation	Dirt/sand surfaces
Power	Ability to overcome resistance and maintain pace	Climbs and descents

Condition

Condition is a real-time indicator of car health during races. It degrades based on track conditions and is influenced by the Durability skill.

Skill Progression

• Base skill parameters increase linearly as the car levels up

• Skills can be further enhanced through tuning and equipping rare parts

---

Car Levels

Cars gain experience (XP) through race performance. Leveling up unlocks additional part slots, allowing for greater customization and power.

Progression System

• Starting Slots: 4 part slots at Level 1

• Maximum Level: 50

• Maximum Part Slots: 10

Strategic Slot Unlocking

When unlocking new slots, players choose which part type to add. This creates strategic decisions:

• Enhance existing strengths

• Compensate for weaknesses

• Optimize for specific track types

Slot Unlock Schedule

New part slots are unlocked at levels: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30
