This glossary explains core Racing Master SEA terminology used across codes, tier lists, tuning guides, and ranked walkthroughs on this wiki. Terms reflect Season 26S3 SEA server mechanics unless noted otherwise.
- Standard / Sports / Extreme
- The three car performance groups in Racing Master. Each group has separate ranked ladders, daily missions, and tier lists. Extreme dominates competitive meta in 26S3.
- ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
- Performance upgrade stage from 0 to 5 that unlocks advanced tuning maps. ECU level affects which tuning digit values are available.
- Tuning Code (5-digit)
- A five-number setup applied across Engine, Tires, Electronics, Chassis, and Body sliders. Example baseline: 23232 for balanced grip.
- 25/25 Upgrade
- Maximum part upgrade level for a car. Community consensus: reach 25/25 on one anchor car before ranked investment or tuning debates.
- RP (Ranked Points)
- Points earned or lost in ranked races based on finish position. Driver rank tiers (Bronze through Master) map to RP ranges.
- Car RP
- Separate rating tied to individual car performance in ranked. Crossing roughly 1,200 car RP may reduce or disable driving assists.
- Safety Rating
- Clean driving score affected by collisions and reckless behavior. Low safety rating can match you into lower-quality lobbies over time.
- Nitro
- Boost resource filled by drafting, clean driving, and drifting. Nitro provides short speed bursts exiting corners.
- Drift
