Common Race Terms

Outlap: 

This refers to any lap performed after a pitstop. Some bonuses are only active during outlaps, meaning they will only be active for the lap after a pitstop.

VSC:

This is a Virtual Safety Car, these appear when debris is detected on track. When a VSC is active, all cars are speed limited and no overtaking can occur.

Stint:

This is the gap between pitstops, or the gap between a pistop and the start or end of the race. If the player makes one pitstop during the race, they would have performed two stints: the first stint would have been from the start of the race until the pitstop, the second stint would have been from the pitstop until the end of the race.

Smoothness: 

This refers to the driver's ability to keep the tyres in good condition while racing. A driver with high smoothness will be able to make the tyres last longer.

Retired:

This refers to when a car has to be removed from the race due to a breakdown.
