How mechanic upgrades work in GRID Legends

gamepur.com:

GRID Legends is a game that tries to give you the fantasy of being a part of a real-life racing team. The game allows you to use in-game credits to upgrade abilities that help you both on and off the track.

There are nine different skills broken up into three skill categories. The green category on the left affects the number of credits you earn during a race. The orange category in the middle affects XP gained during the race, as well as making it easier to buy car upgrades. The pink category on the right affects the sponsorship opportunities and objectives you complete during races.

In order to unlock the upgrade tree, you must first be Level 5. After you level up, navigate to the TEAM menu where you’ll find the three skill trees.

In order to purchase upgrades for the mechanic, you’ll need to navigate to the TEAM menu. Next, go down to the Mechanic Upgrades tab. You need to make sure you hold down the button for a few seconds to unlock the upgrade. All level 1 upgrades unlock at player level 5. All level 2 upgrades unlock at level 15. All level 3 upgrades unlock at level 35.
