Overall, the graphics in the game are considered adequate but in need of improvement, particularly in the areas of drivers, cars, and sponsors, as they fall short compared to competitors like Grand Prix Manager. While some players find the graphics satisfactory for their needs, others suggest that more advanced visuals can be found in titles like Motorsport Manager.
