Career finances extend beyond finishing-position rewards. The accounting interface separately lists race earnings, merchandise income, sponsor signing bonuses, sponsor-related bonus categories and repair expenses. One documented repair bill totaled $364, divided into $164 for the engine, $91 for the chassis, $73 for the suspension and $36 for tyres. Another repair estimate was $317.
| Repair category | Example charge |
|---|---|
| Engine | $164 |
| Chassis | $91 |
| Suspension | $73 |
| Tyres | $36 |
| Total | $364 |
These amounts illustrate the possible size of a bill; they are not fixed repair prices. Damage severity and installed equipment may change costs. With Full Damage enabled, contact and impacts can affect the vehicle, making durability a meaningful specification to consider when buying parts. However, the numerical relationship between a part’s durability rating and future repair expenditure has not been measured.
In the observed post-race flow, the game credited race earnings before presenting the repair decision. This means a fixed cash reserve is not always required simply to pay the next repair bill. Keeping liquidity remains useful, especially when deciding between a facility upgrade and immediate car improvements.
