While playable with a keyboard, it is highly recommended to use a controller or steering wheel. The PC version lacks a mouse cursor in menus, requiring keyboard navigation (numbers/backspace).
The game attempts to balance simulation-style physics with arcade accessibility, but this often leads to inconsistent car handling that can feel "slippery" or prone to oversteering.
You earn stars for podium finishes and side objectives to unlock higher tiers of cars, though some objectives—like intentionally wrecking opponents—can feel out of place for a professional racing setting.
