The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its enjoyable mechanics and bike customization, while others criticize it for feeling rushed and lacking depth compared to its visuals.

- “The gameplay is awesome for a 4 year old game and bike customization is great.”

- “The exclusion mechanic (disqualification from the race) is insane.”
- “Fim Speedway Grand Prix is definitely a game of what could have been. After years of waiting for another speedway game to be released on PC, we are treated to this rushed work where the team seems to have focused on the beauty of the game rather than the actual gameplay itself.”
- “The only thing that puts it above other speedway GP titles is the graphics, which are enjoyable to look at but don't make up for the failures in the rest of the gameplay.”
