User Reviews

To start, this is a very fun and enjoyable driving simulator. I really like the missions, the modding options, and more—plus, the physics engine is incredibly realistic.

It’s been a long time since I last played this. I remember switching to this game after RCP 2 shut down and was removed from the stores. It brings back a lot of nostalgia, as it’s very similar to RCP 2.

This game offers more than just great graphics, beautiful sports cars, and a vast map—it also has a sense of humor! Just a moment ago—on April 1st (April Fools' Day)—they sent a message: "⚠ Your account has been permanently banned due to misconduct. " But then, the very next second... He said: "Happy April Fools' Day! My account remains unchanged—you really managed to scare me! I’m a big fan of this game, and I’m so happy because you’ve truly brightened my day. Thank you all for the great care and effort you’ve put into creating this game and bringing us so much joy—thank you!"
