Speed: Determines the top speed of your character. Higher values increase the maximum speed at which your character can run.
Stamina: Determines the endurance required for maintaining velocity. Higher values allow your character to maintain top speed for longer.
Power: Determines acceleration and positioning of a character. Higher values improve the acceleration and positioning of a character during the race.

Wit: Determines racing expertise and prevents recklessness. Higher values increase the skill usage of a character and improve overall consistency.
