According to the review aggregator Metacritic , the game received mostly positive ratings.

The German trade magazine GameStar called the game a great overall package for racing fans in general. The rudimentary campaign with poor staging was criticized.

"Successful racing simulation with only a few, small weaknesses"

- Wolfgang Fischer : PC Games

PC Games Hardware called the game the “best VR experience of the year” in 2017 and praised the dynamic weather effects.

In the conclusion of the online magazine 4Players , the Xbox One version received a clear devaluation due to technical deficiencies, which were particularly noticeable through drops in the frame rate . For VR support, there was also a percentage point upgrade compared to playing on PC without VR. The game gains significantly in immersion in VR, even if the menu design is not optimal.
