The game's graphics are generally praised for being colorful, clean, and visually impressive, with realistic lighting and detailed environments that enhance immersion. However, performance issues such as high GPU usage, resolution problems, motion blur that can't be disabled, and FPS drops detract from the experience. Despite strong visuals, some find the overall presentation generic and unfinished, with limited customization and occasional technical glitches.

- “The graphics are stunning, the physics feel incredibly realistic, and the tracks based on real-world locations are a joy to race on.”
- “The graphics are colorful and clean, and the sound effects—especially the tiny engine revs and checkpoint sounds—really add to the immersive feel.”
- “The content is nearly bare-minimum and the game already suffers from major graphical issues.”
- “Also, if you change any graphics settings and apply them, the GPU goes and stays at 99% until restarting the game.”
- “Performance is currently a major issue: FPS drops significantly when the camera points toward the larger parts of the map, even on DirectX 11 with all graphics settings turned to low.”

- “There are occasional frame drops and minor performance issues on my RTX 4060, especially in busy races.”
- “Do not buy this, heavily unoptimized.”
- “Performance is currently a major issue: fps drops significantly when the camera points toward the larger parts of the map, even on DirectX 11 with all graphics settings turned to low.”

- “The racing itself is fun but it's a buggy mess that shouldn't have been released yet, not even in early access.”
