Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Formula League at none against Formula Run's 2. Formula League also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Formula Run's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
