The graphics of the game are generally considered outdated, reflecting its 2005 release, yet they still hold up reasonably well for their era, offering a vintage aesthetic that some players appreciate. While textures and environmental details may lack modern polish, the visuals are functional and complemented by decent lighting effects, making them adequate for a racing experience. Overall, the graphics may not compete with contemporary titles, but they remain enjoyable for fans of classic racing games.
“The graphics are good for their era, although you probably shouldn’t expect too much from the trackside textures and cardboard-cutout spectators.”
“The sense of speed is very good, the car sounds are excellent, and the graphics still hold up and get the job done considering this is such an old game.”
“Graphics hold up surprisingly well, and the sound simply rocks.”
“As drawbacks, I have to point out that the visuals are really outdated nowadays, even when maxed out at 1440p and with high-quality tracks and visual mods applied.”
“The graphics and physics are clearly dated although the graphics still hold up somewhat.”
“Graphics are not on the same level as modern games as it is more than 10 years old but the great advantage on a modern PC is that loading times are really fast.”

“The gameplay itself is also amazing.”
“Surprisingly interesting gameplay with friends.”

“Why doesn't this game track Steam gameplay time?”

The game's optimization is lacking, as players experience noticeable slowdowns and stutters, particularly during the initial moments of races, despite using modern hardware. Additionally, the AI performance appears inconsistent, exhibiting better grip and acceleration during practice sessions compared to races, which detracts from the overall experience. While the simulation aspects are praised for their realism, the game's reliance on a single processor thread limits its performance potential.
“The simulation aspect is very good with true to life physics and car performance.”
“The only things that I don't like about this game is that the AI doesn't seem to be fully optimized; in training and qualification, they seem to have more grip, acceleration, and braking power than you will ever have, but during the race, they're all of a sudden slower. Also, the damage model leaves a lot to be desired.”
“In terms of performance, you shouldn’t assume that the game will run smoothly on a modern machine just because of its age. I find that I get noticeable slowdowns or stutters at the start of every race as the AI pack negotiates the first corner, which can have a detrimental effect on my (already mediocre) driving. This is on an AMD 8350 CPU paired with an NVIDIA 960 GPU, so I can only assume it has to do with the game being, like any game of its era, very much limited to a single processor thread.”
“The optimization is severely lacking; I experience frequent frame drops and lag, especially in crowded areas. It feels like the game is struggling to keep up with the action, which detracts from the overall experience.”
“Despite having a high-end gaming rig, the game still stutters and lags during intense moments. It's frustrating to see such poor optimization in a title that could have been so much better.”
