The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes during gameplay, particularly during matchmaking, loading screens, and after completing races. Many players have experienced lost progress and credits due to these issues, leading to frustration and some opting to uninstall the game. While some users note that the game is enjoyable when functioning properly, the persistent bugs and glitches significantly detract from the overall experience.
“So far so good, no glitches; graphics are pretty spot on and fairly easy to play.”
“Game runs great and brings good competition between opponents.”
“So far, no glitches.”
“When it comes to qualifying, your opponents vanish and the game freezes, forcing a loss of your credits and requiring you to close the game.”
“Game was a fun little game but has become a glitchy mess. I have not been able to receive or open any packs bought or received for free; the game just freezes, and when I relaunch, the pack is gone and I received nothing.”
“Started off amazing but now it won't find any players and just freezes on me after 2 minutes of trying to find another player. I would give it 5 stars, but as I can't play, it's just disappointing.”

Despite some technical issues, many users find the graphics enjoyable and a strong point of the game.

The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over its pay-to-win mechanics and the heavy reliance on ads for progression. While some users appreciate that watching ads is optional, others feel that the grind for in-game currency is excessive without spending real money, leading to a diminished gaming experience. Overall, the consensus suggests that players should be prepared to either invest financially or endure a significant time commitment to advance in the game.
“This game has some pretty cool loading screens, but at least there's no ads.”
“It is a good game, but when I want to watch ads and get some cash, it shows no ads and all benefits go away.”
“There is a huge grind if you don't pay for things; it's very pay-to-win oriented, and grinding ads gets you nowhere.”
“This game has good graphics, but if you want to be good, you'll have to win a lot of races. It's the type of game where you have to spend money to be good; otherwise, it'll take way too long. We have to watch ads to get one car card, and sometimes we don't get that too. If you want to download this game, be ready to spend money or just wait.”
“Yet another pay-to-win game. You can sit on this game for months, doing all the races, but it will ultimately come down to how much money you want to spend to win. One of these days, app developers will learn that people don't want to pay out money to progress in a game; it totally removes the enjoyment.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its simplicity and engaging mechanics, while others criticize it for being shallow and heavily reliant on pay-to-win elements. Many users express frustration with matchmaking issues and the repetitive nature of races, although some appreciate the graphics and the potential for deeper gameplay through additional modes. Overall, while the game is visually appealing and has a solid foundation, it suffers from balancing problems and monetization strategies that detract from the experience.
“I got recommended this through a YouTube ad and actually enjoy the gameplay a lot; it's simple but it works and it's not overcomplicating mobile simulation racing. Compared to F1 Manager, this is a huge step up from that game, love it.”
“I enjoy this game; the mechanics are very interesting and the collection of cars makes you want to get involved.”
“Addictive, smooth gameplay, friendly user interface.”
“There's a lot of pay-to-win mechanics too; once you get to a certain league, the matchmaker starts matching you with unbeatable opponents over and over!”
“Not really much depth to the gameplay; it's just race, maybe apply upgrade, race again, rinse and repeat.”
“Game is artificially lengthened with paywalls, and gameplay feels very rigged.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the balance between grinding and paying, many find it excessively grindy, especially if they choose not to spend money. The grind can feel slow and frustrating, with some players feeling that it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. Overall, the consensus suggests that while grinding is a core part of the experience, it can lead to a sense of imbalance and frustration for those unwilling to pay.
“It's fun and not grinding.”
“There is a huge grind if you don't pay for things; it's very pay-to-win oriented, and grinding ads gets you nowhere.”
“Nice concept, been grinding for a while and upgraded my car and unlocked the next levels of cars, but can't get other cars unless I grind it out for another 2 months or pay, of course. Time to put the only car I have in this game to bed, I think. Frustrating; nice game, but greed makes it unplayable.”
“Could be a great game if it wasn't so much grinding to get better items and in-game money.”

Despite these issues, players still find the game enjoyable and engaging.

“Does not disappoint, really liked it, would want a bit more performance optimization though.”

The humor in the game is derived from its absurdities, such as the illogical accumulation of credits over cash and the peculiar balancing of car classes with equal performance. Players find amusement in the game's quirks and the irony of their own experiences, often highlighting the disconnect between game mechanics and real-world expectations.
“Funny enough, it's easier to accumulate credits than cash!”
“Which doesn't make sense to me as now you can do upgrades with credits after the latest update, hilarious!”
“It's funny because you all are going to ask, 'Maybe I should get a new phone?' My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A71 (2020).”

Despite these problems, the music remains a highlight for many players.
“Outstanding! I love it; really fun, great graphics, and soundtrack. A different style of racing that I can't stop playing.”
“I like the sound; I even love the oil music. You're killing me; you gotta turn up the volume!”
“Music is playing but I can't advance past that screen at all; it won't respond to any touch input from the phone's screen.”
