The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the solid soundtrack and good tracks, others find it too loud and overpowering compared to the engine sounds. Overall, it serves its purpose but may not stand out significantly.
- “The soundtrack is very good!”
- “Good music, good tracks.”
- “The soundtrack is... alright, it gets the job done, but the fact you have an upgrade system and the ability to make your RWD car into AWD (actually a big deal) makes me skeptical about the suspicious heavy discount I got during the summer sale.”
- “Additional notes: mute the music, it's too loud and overpowering compared to the engine sounds.”
- “+ solid soundtrack”

The game's optimization is generally well-received, with players noting that it runs smoothly on mid-range hardware, maintaining at least 30 FPS on ultra settings. While some users may need to adjust settings for optimal performance, the overall experience is free of significant performance issues, enhancing the gameplay with a robust car upgrade system.
- “The fact this game runs on an i7-3820, 16GB DDR-1600 RAM and my little robust 750Ti superclocked, at default ultra settings, not going below 30 FPS is already impressive. The optimization on this game isn't bad; I just need to turn down a few settings.”
- “The game has a car upgrade system besides the basic handling tuning, comprising performance options like turbos, engine upgrades, and switching your car's drive wheels.”
- “There are 11 cars in the game which can be customized visually and performance-wise.”
