⚠️ Important Notes

• Fuel profiles and hybrid systems are simulated. They do not physically replace or install vehicle components.

• The engine performance graph displays calculated data from the game's API, not actual wheel horsepower measurements.

• Engine protection does not repair an already damaged engine.

• Acceleration test history and session settings are not permanently saved as project data.

• Fully reloading a vehicle may clear previous test results.
