Despite these issues, a few players noted that the ads are not intrusive during gameplay itself.
- “Adverts are phenomenally annoying; however, I'd far rather have an option to pay for the game and remove the ads.”
- “Nobody asked for forced ads after or even during each race; this is a game, not a cheap TV show.”
- “You only get like 3 races every 4 hours or you have to buy more or watch ads, so that's some greedy game design.”
