### 2/5 — Good, but inconvenient.

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.28*

I love the controls, the career aspect and the system of making your car better; my biggest complaint is the amount of ads.

The rewinds should save if you do not use them, and ads should be shown after a GP if there are multiple events in between. It seems very greedy to put one before every event.

### 3/5 — Qualification

*2026-06-10, version 1.0.28*

There has to be a quali as I missed out on promotion due to my rival always beginning on pole.

### 4/5 — It’s fun

*2026-06-10, version 1.0.28*

The game is pretty good. It's moderately challenging, but easy to pick up. The racing is a lot of fun, and you can often complete an entire season in one go. However, the game does have its downsides: 1. Lack of qualifying. You always start last, or ninth if you have the appropriate perk. On open tracks, this isn't a big problem, but in, say, Monaco, there's simply no way to overtake anyone, and you always finish in the bottom five. 2. 90% of the time, if you collide with another car, whether it's your fault or not, you're the one who suffers. Your opponent continues on as if nothing happened, and you're left relaxing on the side of the road. 3. Your rivals don't care about the rain. They can drive on wet roads on regular tires without losing pace. But if you don't switch to rain tires, the slightest turn will be hell for you. 4. The bots' behavior is sometimes simply abnormal. They ram you at full speed at every opportunity (while still driving along, as I mentioned above). They make virtually no attempt to avoid collisions, unlike in real racing. There are a couple of other flaws, but they're not that critical. Overall, as I said, the game is generally good. The graphics are quite acceptable for a mobile game. The gameplay is quite engaging.

### 4/5 — Great but too harsh opponents

*2026-06-09, version 1.0.28*

The game is unique but the opponents are way to dirty at racing

### 4/5 — amazing but needs multiplayer

*2026-06-04, version 1.0.28*

absolutely stellar game but if i could play with my friends it would be 5 stars

### 3/5 — Good game but with big issue for me

*2026-06-01, version 1.0.28*

I love the game it’s really fun to play but I play on another device with a controller in portrait mode but to play on my iPhone 17 with gamesir x5 lite the orientation is upside down and will not flip to accommodate the controller with a usb c connector would be awesome if the Devs could update the game to have an option to change the orientation or allow the game to auto rotate. Otherwise it’s an awesome game!

### 4/5 — Игра не плохая

*2026-05-11*

Игра сама хорошая есть сюжет разные события но нет русского языка также разработчики дабавьте разные флаги например при авариях желтый и машину безопасности потому что npc переворачивают друг друга а ты врезаешься еще можно промежуточные шины ну это не обязательно так что жду сэфети кар

### 4/5 — 日本語

### 1/5 — Рейка сломана

*2026-08-16, version 1.0.28*

В 1990-м году моя машина в отличие от машин ботов едет быстро а вот поворачивать она просто не умеет вы поставили очень резкие повороты а машины со сломанными рейками ездят я прохожу поворот на мост в Токио машина улетает на гравий и потом врезается в отбойник и конец гонки даже в 1980-м машины поворачивали в 1 000 000 раз лучше пока не исправить оценку не увеличу

### 1/5 — Advert Star GP

*2026-08-12, version 1.0.28*

If you like watching ads you’ll love this game. If you expect anything other than ads you will be disappointed.

### 1/5 — Too many adsssss

*2026-07-01, version 1.0.28*

Game was god before ads you guys are just greedy at this point game isn’t even fun anymore

### 1/5 — I can't restore the purchases

*2026-06-17, version 1.0.28*

I can't restore my purchases, no cloud saves... All gone..

### 1/5 — nul comme pas possible.

*2026-05-28*

Un jeu qui est réaliste à première vue, mais qui est ensuite totalement irréaliste avec des collisions comme pas possible. C’est juste du Ragebait. Je suis même prêt à dire que le jeu ne mérite même pas d’être dans l’app store. Les graphismes sont pourtant bien et la mécanique aussi.  Cependant, les cols sont absolument affreuse, les concurrents, essayent de sortir de piste, alors que la Formule 1 n’autorise jamais cela. Un jeu qui est plus fait pour énerver que pour divertir. Tu peux être en pôle position mais directement 3 bots te sautent dessus et te sortent de la piste. 😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — unfun

*2026-05-24, version 1.0.28*

Game was fun until it started forcing you to watch a add for 5 replays. the most useless thing to do to a good game

### 1/5 — No car updates

*2026-05-09, version 1.0.28*

Make it easier to collect coins tonupgrade car for races it’s stupid asf

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-07, version 1.0.28*

All the adds are scam

### 1/5 — Forced adds

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.28*

Once you finish the tutorial you are forced to watch adds to play the game.

### 1/5 — Вам бы понравилось если вас послали на ****?

*2026-04-09*

Сделайте так чтобы даже если я был третьей по очкам я прошел в следующий сезон 1000 стараний много раз я проходил одни и те же 10 гонок и никак не могу пройти в следующий сезон просто потому что должен быть первый по очкам это неправильно это не симулятор Формулы-1 это раздражитель в которой невозможно играть поскольку это просто помойка вы вот сами как-нибудь могли бы перенести то что очень сильно стараетесь вкладывайте каждый день пол своих сил которые вообще были накоплены на день в эту игру и после этого просто шлют на **** и говорят проходить весь сезон заново это ужас какой-то

### 5/5 — Diego

*2026-08-17, version 1.0.28*

You guys should put qualifying

### 5/5 — Best mobile f1 game

*2026-07-26, version 1.0.28*

Best ever

### 5/5 — Great game but…

*2026-07-20, version 1.0.28*

This is a great game, love everything but the cpus have issues. Nigel Mawson always is my nemesis for no reason and I always start in last. Would be 10x better if you could fix these issues!

### 5/5 — Absolute cinema

*2026-07-09, version 1.0.28*

One of the best racing games for phones ever

### 5/5 — The game I’ve been waiting for

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.28*

For years I’ve wondered why nobody has made a good retro style f1 mobile game and I have to say this is better than what I had ever hoped for! The cpu could use some tweaking and maybe a difficulty meter in the settings but it is probably already being developed and I imagine a update is in the making

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-06-04, version 1.0.28*

This game is by far impressive I mean a good racing game in 26 has been unheard of up to now besides racing masters (the Japan version though) I really think y’all should take this concept and expand it into GT racing/lemans type game featuring all the prototype racers and GT series through all the years featuring group C, GT1, group 4, group 6 and endurance racing and all the tracks and the iconic lemans I think it should be its own game separate from this one an zero in for on endurance racing cause there’s already great f1 games but very few endurance racing games which is makes it more in the market for this style of game as far as improvements to this game goes to make it the f1 simulator/slight arcade racer it was meant to be is implement mean terminal damage as cars can be damaged to the point of terminally terminated and retirement add a toggle to adjust how easily cars get damaged I feel as though I bump my car into the wall at 15mph my tire should come off or at least have some damage as it would in a real f1
I was so overwhelming disappointed when I realized the realistic damage didn’t accomplish this and I still had to hit the wall 6 times going 80 plus to damage the front wing even a little it should damage easily going slowly at like 10mph the wing jiggle is a cool touch arcade with a blend of realism I like it also add a dedicated safety car specific to this game it doesn’t have to be the f1 Mercedes GT as I don’t think that would fit this game but find dedicated safety car that y’all think fits this game and implement start up laps warm up laps qualifying practice etc.. safety car comes out after crash this should be a mode you can switch on and mode you can toggle between simulator style racing and casual racing  I honestly think a good safety car that would fit this game is the Mercedes McLaren slr in some form and maybe y’all’s own take on it

### 5/5 — great racing game

*2026-05-18, version 1.0.28*

I like this game, but there a plenty of work awaits on it.

### 5/5 — Симулятор без перегиба

*2026-04-24*

Игра предоставляет интересный опыт гонок. При том видно, что те, кто делали игру, любят культуру автоспорта и это прослеживается во многих, очень приятных мелочах с которыми сталкиваешься по мере прохождения игры и свободной езды. Из-за того, сколько возможностей предоставляет игра хочется видеть ее развитие, наличие возможности играть в мультиплеере, хотя бы по локальной сети. Но в целом, огромное спасибо  и на том, что есть сейчас. Для мобильного гейминга это идеальная игра про гонки

### 5/5 — Legal

*2026-04-22*

Nem entra no jogo mas o meu iPad é iOS 11 eu acho então é compreensível mas dei estrela pra ajuda tenha um ótimo dia

### 5/5 — Captures the feeling of F1

*2026-04-14, version 1.0.20*

It’s nice to race around F1’s most iconic tracks with an arcadey but semi realistic feel.
