The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with users expressing disappointment over the lack of a soundtrack during races, noting that only the main menu features music. While some appreciate the closing credits song, many hope for improvements, including the addition of soundtracks and a reduction in engine noise.
“I really like the closing credits song.”
“Add some soundtracks and please make the engine sound a bit quieter.”
“Soundtrack... I've missed the soundtrack; I hope they work on it soon, though I understand there are more urgent things on the developers' to-do list at the moment.”
“Music is nonexistent apart from the main menu; you won’t hear a thing in races other than the obnoxiously loud engine sound (yes, I turned the 'car' volume almost all the way down in the options menu already).”
“Please add some soundtracks and make the engine sound a bit quieter.”
