The game is heavily criticized for its excessive grinding, with players noting that progression requires repetitive tasks, such as racing the same event numerous times. Many reviewers suggest that if you dislike grinding, this game is not for you, as it feels designed to encourage spending money to alleviate the grind. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a major drawback, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Was on the fence about this game for a long time before it came out. So far, it's just a free-to-play game that is buy-to-play. I expect the DLC to be free for this. Nah, don't buy it; it's too grindy. It feels like a half-assed progression system that involves doing the same race 100 times to get anything for the car.”
- “Levelling is a pure pain in the ass – and I love to grind, so if you don’t like grinding, look at the following the way you want to look at it.”
- “[tl;dr, the game has significant bugs of which I have only mentioned a few. It's been set up in anticipation of free-to-play to involve excessive amounts of grinding to encourage you to spend more money to progress at a reasonable rate, all for the reward of extremely limited matchmaking that doesn't even allow you to play with friends or privately.”

- “Scam, should've never supported the game... stupid cash grab by a crappy game company.”
