Classes

Grid races run in four classes. Each hands the field better craft and pays more; climbing is how income grows.

Class	Purse	XP	Win pays	Printer gas	Licence fee
ROOKIE	x1	x1	400 CR	Neon
PRO	x2.5	x1.25	1,000 CR	Argon	25,000 CR
ELITE	x6	x1.5	2,400 CR	Krypton	150,000 CR
APEX	x12	x2	4,800 CR	Xenon	600,000 CR

A time trial or a ghost race pays 200 CR at par, 50 CR more a second under it, at most 250 CR more.
