Scam
This game is a total cash grab. The core concept of comparing car stats is fun, but once you get past the early levels, it hits an aggressive pay-to-win wall. Your cars burn through their service timers in minutes, upgrading them costs a ridiculous amount of cash and yields almost nothing when sold, and the store packs are wildly overpriced. Seeing special event bundles cost anywhere from $20 to $70 USD—the price of a full console or PC game—just for a single stack of virtual cards is absolute madness. Unless you want to spend hundreds of real dollars, progression completely grinds to a halt. Avoid unless you just want to log in for two minutes a day and ignore the competitive side.

Fun, but can get boring
I’ve been playing this game since around its release. It’s very enjoyable for car enthusiasts who also like collection games. Unfortunately, the game has become pay to win. There aren’t many ways to earn a ton of gold.

This game’s a marathon
Fair progression? Really? I mean, it’s actually fine…until you hit the level cap (RQ 500). Then you’re just thrown in events to the wolves that either spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month or have been playing for 8 or 9 years. And don’t get me started on challenges – if you aren’t one of those wolves, you’ll either need to get really lucky or throw away everything else in your life just to maybe win big. I really thought the objectives would’ve thrown a bone, but all they did was let the devs turn the game into engagement bait. A combination of the ensuing overload and a subsequent slot crisis is what finally got me off after three years of decently dedicated playing. I will concede that it’s not completely hopeless, as you might scrape by if you manage your slots well (only spend gold on slots and packs with larger amounts of slots) and pick your battles wisely.
Also the devs are incompetent. I believe they accidentally gave away a good prize car for what was basically free not too long ago. Going off their last major slip up, it will probably be months before they actually implement a solution, which is more than long enough for people to forget what they’re trying to compensate for in the first place. Despite all of this, it looks like the game has calmed down engagement bait-wise, and the reviewer summary is more or less correct in its other points, so as someone who quite enjoyed Top Drives when the going was good, I can only rate this game so lowly. Anyway, I’m a hopeless gambler (though thankfully not with real stakes), and the good pulls were always times of celebration. Needless to say, I’ll be giving this game another spin since it does seem to have cooled off.
To whoever actually had the gumption to read this far, may your next (or first) legendary not be an RQ 80!
Update (5/16/2026): I’ve tried to write this stinking thing twice now, only to either accidentally lose it or have it actually snatched from me, so I’ll – much to my chagrin – be keeping this quick. Many of the issues in my review still stand, though to be honest, if you want to see meaningful change, you’ll need to make a rival to this game yourself, for hell will freeze over before the devs actually address those issues. They’re also still incompetent. Sure, they did actually figure that inadvertent prize car giveaway pretty quickly…I’d tell you the specifics if I remembered them. Just know that nobody talks about it in the Discord server anymore, so the fallout must not’ve been too bad. However, they did accidentally sell a Titanium at a 50% discount a few days ago. I’m not too sure how that’s going to pan out, but I get the feeling that the fallout from whatever solution they figure out will be pretty ugly. I admittedly can only be so mad since I won’t be affected, though I do feel pretty bad for those that will. Anyway, I only dodged this bullet because I had bought slots a few days prior and stood no chance of affording the Titanium even at the slashed price. Otherwise I would’ve certainly bought it and have likely been eventually screwed.
What I cannot deny is that I have actually had a pretty good time in the last few months. I’ve won big time and again (8 legends in two months!), and the premium lites they shower the players with these days have been a godsend. It’s now almost trivial for even a F2P-er such as myself to max out Ultra Rares – and those are the bread and butter of any garage that isn’t financed like an AI startup on Wall Street. Still, I’ve been very much reminded of the fact that, unless I get very lucky with the criteria and/or cars they select, I’m likely years out from my first prize legend seriously worth fighting for.
…oh yeah, they fixed the summary! That does kinda strip my review of its original purpose, but many of its points remain valid so it’s fine. Much as I’d like to think that my review (if it’s even the same review anymore since I changed the title) was single-handedly responsible for the fixed summary, it’s much more likely that Apple simply regenerates the summaries every once a while and the AI simply didn’t pull from the progression-related sentiments this time around. Either way, I approve of the new summary, for it is more or less accurate now. Ultimately, my 4-star rating still stands, for the big issues remain prevalent and the gambler’s paradise of the premium lite rain simply isn’t enough to make up the difference.
Anyway, I’ve finally managed to successfully write this dang thing without losing it. I guess I’ll be back again if something big changes, but for the time being, may your next epic not be a dupe RQ 65!
P.S: I’ve had the dubious fortune of being endowed with not one, not two, but FIVE new RQ 80s.

I can only hope that means 5 others pulled the cars of their dreams.
Update 10/25/2026: lol I’ve actually won legendary prizes since my last update, and one’s a bloody RQ 97 Pikes Peak car! Admittedly, they did make the crazy prize really easy to get (9th anniversary celebrations, they were great), and the other was an RQ 87 NASCAR that was rigged up to what I believe was the best season this game has ever had. I feel bad if you didn’t play or just started playing during Midnight Racers, because that was literally the perfect difficulty. I had to work for that car, but it was actually reasonably obtainable for basically any established play. I do have to note one caveat, and it was that you needed to get either a legend or at least one of two specific epics to succeed, as well as at least one epic off-roader.I got lucky and got a viable combination of cars (with the two legends and really good epic off-roader coming after I had already beaten the challenges funny enough), and to Hutch’s credit, the epic prize did really help with the final few rounds of the last few challenges, but I likely still would have been screwed if I didn’t get lucky off the lites. So yes, same old game as always, just properly balanced for once. Oh a character
