The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every race or action. While some players appreciate the option to pay for ad removal, many feel that the frequency of ads detracts from the overall experience, making the game feel more like an advertisement platform than a fun racing game. Additionally, concerns about microtransactions and the balance of in-game purchases further contribute to the perception of the game as a "cash grab."
- “Good game, I think there should be a way to buy no ads because there are way too many in the game.”
- “I made in-game purchases a few days before my device broke, and I had to switch; now those purchases are gone.”
- “Would love it if they could reduce the ads.”
- “It's fun at first and then it just becomes an advertisement machine.”
- “I like the game but the AI needs work; they don't even care when you crash and they keep crashing into you like nothing, and the ads are so annoying. Every time I race, there's an ad.”
- “You pay all the money to upgrade your car, then they add a new feature to force you to watch advertisements in order to fix the damages.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, freezing, and unexpected position changes during races. Players experience issues such as the game crashing, unresponsive controls, and graphical bugs, which detract from the overall enjoyment and competitiveness of the gameplay. Many reviewers express frustration over these stability problems, urging developers to address them to enhance the gaming experience.
- “Absolutely terrible game, extremely glitchy, freezes at random times with no way to get your progress of a race back if it freezes during a race. Cars are way too expensive for the amount of money you can get from each race.”
- “The only problem is when it freezes for a bit before you're on the track, which is kind of letting me get used to.”
- “It has potential to be a great game but the only problem is that it glitches all the time and it gets annoying. Some races I'll be on the last lap and then it kicks me back to 12th when I was in first; it makes no sense.”

Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with players appreciating the customization options for engine performance and the smooth gameplay experience. However, there are notable concerns regarding unrealistic car behavior, the need for more realistic mechanics like tire wear and fuel management, and the effectiveness of tuning on performance. While the game is enjoyable, players feel that further improvements could enhance realism and balance.
- “Great customization tweaks for performance. Would like to see qualifying rounds for starting position.”
- “It gets better the longer you play and maintain your car's performance and handling.”
- “If those couple of things weren't an issue, I couldn't fault the game though. When it runs smoothly, it is plenty of fun.”
- “Can't really tell if tuning does anything for performance.”
- “Also, stock cars can't go 315 mph, and we need to add tire wear, fuel consumption, and a semi-realistic damage model that's consistent across all tracks. If you flip your car, the race should be over, but I can flip with little effect on my car's performance (not visual damage). You're close to a 5-star game.”
- “And can we add some realistic engine performance in the future?”

- “This game made me feel like I'm actually in the Cars movie, where talking cars exist. I like how the game has decent graphics and that we can race for a while, but I really would like it if the racing lasted a lot longer, like 30 laps of racing, so it'll actually feel like we're racing.”

I believe that if the game keeps getting love from the developers, it can become something even more.”
- “Hi there! This is an awesome game and a work of art for me, but could you adjust the AI? Other cars drive funny during matches and always bump into each other, which is normal, but I was saying that fixing the AI movements would help. They drive up and down when we're on the curved track.”
- “A perfection... but the thing is, there are only 12 cars, and that's hilarious! Please increase the number of cars to 43 for a more realistic experience. Minicades, please respond! I would like to hear your response. I am not angry; I just need a response. Thank you - this is your friend 'J' from the Philippine Islands.”
