The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the modern jazz soundtrack unsuitable for gaming and expressing frustration over the inability to mute the intro and outro music during races. While some appreciate the nostalgic feel reminiscent of Gran Turismo, others describe it as repetitive and lacking diversity, suggesting a need for more varied tracks and improved sound effects.

“This game is technically Gran Turismo on mobile; the music, the presentation, and the car roster are phenomenal. Absolutely stunning and fun game.”

“Even if all sounds are off in settings, you cannot actually mute this game and it is pissing off especially when you want to listen to music at the same time.”

“Worst of all, all the best cars are only unlockable by premium currency, or you can watch up to 1.1k ads to get the premium currency for one car.”
“Overall the game is very realistic and entertaining, however after 15 ads the game just stops working and I have to reopen it so can the devs please fix this bug because from my knowledge it's been happening for almost a year.”

The reviews indicate that the game has a significant grinding aspect, with many players finding the process of earning in-game currency and upgrading cars tedious and time-consuming.

Players express a desire for more customization options and less reliance on grinding to enhance the gaming experience.
“This game is not that grindy, but most of the cars require tokens, which are pretty hard to get.”
“Not too grindy.”
“Unless you really want to improve and are willing to spend a good while grinding (for a few months, or even years if you've lost your sanity), then I'd say you'll probably leave it after a week or two.”
“Horrible, grindy, and tedious.”
“But getting money in this game is too tedious; it forces you to buy in-game currency.”

The reviews indicate a strong desire for a story or career mode in the game, as many players find the current lack of narrative and progression elements to be a significant drawback.

Overall, the consensus is that adding a well-developed story mode would greatly improve the game's appeal.
“A really good racing simulator with an open sandbox mode too, good graphics, a lot of cool cars, and a suggestion to add a new story mode with a good plot for the career mode.”
“This could've been a very good game if you added a storyline.”
“Great graphics but kind of pointless; no story mode, not even goals to achieve when you modify a car and race on the track. It will not show on the car during the race. Needs more development; keep up the work, guys. Great game, just needs a few tweaks and a career mode.”
“Nice game, good graphics; however, there is no campaign or story mode where you can earn money and progress in the game.”
“Boring to be honest; we all want a story mode.”
