The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Players report that they are often forced to watch long, unskippable ads after nearly every attempt, which detracts from the overall experience and makes the game feel more like a cash grab than a fun activity.

Players appreciate that all cars can be obtained for free through grinding, with the added benefit of never receiving duplicate cars from crates, reducing frustration.

“It's in Portuguese and I can't change the language to English... also, it's too hard to get enough money for cars; some cost as much as 5000 coins and you pick up one coin at a time. This is not fun; too much farming.”
