What decides how much money is made from a race?
I love the game Little Racers STREET, but there is one thing I can't wrap my head around. It seems that i can't tell what factors that determines how much money is made from a race.
There are several factors that I know of:
1.st place winning credits, Credits earned based on placing position, Repair damage and Repair cost
Example:
Had 600 Credits before race, Credits for 1st place is 25000. There are 12 cars racing in that single race.
After race, the driver has accumulated ca 25% damage (and 1316 credits are lost) and places 5th (which wins him 12296).
Now here's what bothers me: The driver wins 12296 credits from placing 5th. I can't seem to figure out what ratio that is. If there was a simple "1st place credits" / "number of drivers" * "reverse placement", that would have made sense, but that would have equaled approx. 14583 for placing 5th (25000 / 12 * 7).
Also: the driver had approx. 25% damage, but this only equaled 1316 credits lost. I can't for the life of me find the relationship between these numbers.
Question: Does anyone know the factors/equations that determine money lost from damage and placement earnings, which in turn determines how much money is made from a race?
Best Answer
The formula for the prize you get on an event is the following:
Parameters: Event prize, Finish Place, Number of Participants, Race Length (usually 100%)
MaxPrize: Event prize * Difficulty factor
Factor: Pow ( 1 - (Finish Place / TotalCars) , 1.75 )
LengthFactor = 100% + (RaceLength - 100%) / 2
Final Prize: MaxPrize * Factor * LengthFactor
As for repairs, the cost of repairs is (Car Value * Damage * 15%). The resulting value is capped at 80% or 90% of the total event earnings, depending on what version of the game are you running.

What gives our money value?
Summary. Currency value is determined by aggregate supply and demand. Supply and demand are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates, inflation, capital flow, and money supply. The most common method to value currency is through exchange rates.What happens when you print too much money?
Economics is based on the idea of supply and demand. If we printed more money, there would be an artificial overabundance of demand \u2013 money \u2013 but the supply of goods would not increase at the same rate. What results is dangerous inflation. Prices would increase to a level where the newfound money would be worthless.How Much Money Formula 1 Teams Have To Pay To Race
