# XP & Levels

Beating other racers earns you XP. Earning XP increases the level of your 'Dona. Higher level 'Donas have a better chance of beating lower level opponents.

XP is calculated and distributed after a race has been finalized. You don't have to come in first to earn XP - any opponent that finishes after you counts towards the XP you earn during a race. The more racers you beat, and the higher their level, the more XP you earn. To give lower level players a chance, race creators can set level caps on their races.

'Dona levels are currently unlimited, but Friendly races have an absolute level cap of 10.
