### 2/5 — Massive Downgrade

*2026-08-06*

I used to play this game a long while ago, and it was a decent pastime. Now it is lazy slop with ads every time a button is pressed. Every car is also just number 12?? How can a game possibly get worse??

### 3/5 — Great game but no option to take ads off

*2026-03-06, version 1.1.9*

Please let me pay to take ads off

### 3/5 — 会闪退

*2025-12-17*

玩不了一点

### 3/5 — Need volume settings

*2025-12-04*

I would give a four star but I really would like volume settings because I don’t want to always have to listen to the menu music and other types of sounds that would be nice please and thank you

### 3/5 — Update

*2025-09-25, version 1.1.9*

The update is good except for all the cars being number 12. That is stupid!!!!

### 4/5 — The new update isn’t the best

*2025-09-24*

I have had this game for about a month and I liked because of its immature gameplay and mechanics. But now it looks so professional. The cars are so much more smoother which I don’t like because I prefer the immature look. The UGI is so much more rounded and nicer and more modern. A good change is that when the AI crashes the other AI does as well and that all my progress saved.

### 4/5 — Could Be Improved

*2025-06-03*

I love playing this game winning and being able to customize the AI to make some interesting racing names. Recently though I have almost max the stock car out and because of that if I stay in the inside lane a just eventually win if they could balance this it would be so much better. You would have to use the practice tool to learn the best lines for each track.

### 4/5 — Future ideas

*2025-05-16, version 1.1.8*

I would like to see more tracks than 2. And maybe add an extra lane. Overall it it a great game

### 3/5 — Just needs real cars

*2025-04-16*

This game is awesome, but what it really needs is real cars and maybe just a little bit damaged when the car crashes 
overall this is a good game and also maybe add real tracks to and and I love NASCAR so I really recommend this game. you know what add some custom cars too

### 2/5 — Trop de pub

*2025-01-15*

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-07-14, version 1.1.8*

Wish there was more than 2 different style tracks, the short tracks get kinda boring wish we had some bigger tracks!

### 3/5 — Noise

*2024-05-20*

Absolutely no game settings. Can’t turn off the annoying drum track. But game itself is fun

### 3/5 — 轮胎差异再大些

*2024-04-28*

能不能把出站改成象进站一样无碰撞体积？

### 4/5 — No actually settings

*2024-03-30*

You can not mute music or sound effects in this game at all. Woke up a 6 month old after downloading. Great game though just be nice to control sound effects

### 5/5 — Update Needed

*2024-03-14, version 1.1.7*

Needs to be updated with longer races and more drivers to hire

### 4/5 — Physics

*2024-02-03*

### 1/5 — No

*2024-07-25, version 1.1.8*

No

### 1/5 — Hank

*2023-07-25*

This is another one of the games that is letting a person into my game play as well as my phone this app as let someone build a back door into my phone so this is a warning to all who play you are putting your personal info and more The person or persons will be held accountable for their actions and all apps and apple and google will be held responsible for allowing this to even happen so much for your privacy and so much your security

### 1/5 — Don’t wast time

*2023-07-16*

It wasted my time it is like you crash I will go last

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-09-12*

App doesn’t work right. Doesn’t keep track or trophies or races etc. started to but after winning all races in a season you get an award. Yah that doesn’t happen. When you go to other modes… nothing keep track. Needs fixing.

### 1/5 — You don’t drive the car

*2022-06-01*

It’s pretty stupid because the car goes around the track by itself. You don’t do anything!

Boring!

### 1/5 — Thought This Was A Good Game

*2022-03-15*

Was enjoying the game until it started lagging really bad. So I close the app and my phone keeps lagging. I deleted the app just in time before my phone froze.

### 1/5 — Avis

*2022-03-08*

Ne pas installer !!! Fait beuger tout mon téléphone (iPhone) j’ai désinstaller

### 1/5 — Update failure

*2021-12-31, version 1.1.1*

Game was legit. Whatever update y’all did completely lowered the gaming experience. Why are there semi’s on pit lane? Why is it that I can’t win a race anymore? Drafting makes you slower. This game was a 5 star but this update y’all made… just no. Could of updated different tracks and cars with customizations. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Looks like I’ll be uninstalling this game after a whole year.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love the game just tired of having everyone as the number 12

*2026-07-29*

Now I love playing this game but I wish everyone was different numbers other than number 12 like the most recent version please bring back the different numbers cause I really hate this version where you’re not different numbers

### 5/5 — Sound

*2026-05-03, version 1.1.9*

Can I turn the motor noises off so I can listen to music while I play or just not have the engines blaring in my ear

### 5/5 — 3 easy things would make this game actually a 5 star

*2026-01-07*

To be clear I think in its current state this game is 3 stars, but because this game may still have developers working in it I’m giving 5 to boost the ratings. For those thinking about trying it out please do because it is very fun.

The first issue with the game is exiting the pit lane. At least 1-2 times a race I’m stuck in a position where I can’t avoid either hitting or getting hit at the pit exit. A simple brakes button would suffice or no collision for 10 seconds on exiting pit.

The second and third is a general lack of information and development. I should be able to see the stats the different ai cars have either before the race, after the race or in the season ranking section of the game. Currently there is no way to actually tell a difference in the upgrades and why you are winning or losing. 

To the devs or dev. I do freelance working on games in my spare time and I’m guessing the constant exiting pit collisions stems from a lack of non-developer testing. There’s little I can say about the lack of information given to players other than the game is great I’d just love more quality of life improvements. With a little better graphics, better ui during races and play testing this game could go a long way.

### 5/5 — Лучшее

*2025-10-01*

Да, игра не может дать вам графон, но она вам дает уникальный геймплей (для телефона точно). Рекомендую

### 5/5 — 我觉得好玩

*2025-08-15*

但是还得因人而异我个人觉得不错

### 5/5 — Super jeux

*2025-07-21*

C’est t’un super jeux peut-être m’être moi chère le site mode ou même le rendre gratuit

### 5/5 — 国区最好纳斯卡游戏

*2025-03-22*

good

### 5/5 — Boxenstopp

*2025-01-03*

Wäre echt cool wenn man nicht die ganze Zeit gegen die anderen Wagen knallt während man die Box verlässt 
Das bitte mal ändern 
Danke

### 5/5 — 有更大提升空间

*2024-08-16*

可以提高比赛圈数 AI太笨了，要好好调教 可以试试联机模式 等等

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2024-07-30*

The developer is really good and super underrated. All of the games that he or she has made are also very underrated and should be known more. The AI can be a bit annoying sometimes (by a bit I mean to the point where you go from P1 to P20) When your trying to get ahead of the others cars and you try to turn in front of them then they just don’t break sometimes and make you spin out. It would also be cool to see the ai cars be able to crash into the other ai cars since if they do touch they just go through each other. But overall this is an amazing game.
