“- Performance: the system requirements in the description are too high.”

The game features minimal story elements, primarily focusing on the player's journey from creating a driver to competing in the MotoGP championship after progressing through various lower-tier competitions. Players appreciate the ability to skip any narrative content, indicating that the gameplay takes precedence over storytelling. Overall, the story is considered lacking and not a significant aspect of the game.
“Crisp handling, nice liveries, shame the Ducati Mission Winnow is not in the game though.. historical pack is amazing, many bikes and teams to choose from.”
“There isn't much of a story honestly, you create a driver and work your way to the MotoGP championship after dominating the Red Bull Rookie Cup, Moto 3, and Moto 2.”
“This is how it should be done, everything is skippable. If you spent more time on the game than you did on the intro, you might sell a few more... rant over.”
“Story?”
