Silly, simple, and very fun. It's not a deep game and the mechanics won't challenge you but if you're into silly humour then you'll enjoy this.

There's potential there but the racing and balancing is absolutely miserable. Rather than being a fun way to earn money and progress through the game the racing against AI is just frustrating.

The game kindly decides what difficulty of AI it's going to put you up against and those difficulty levels are incredibly inconsistent with them being able to take corners at insane speeds and also just easily push you off line if you're in the way. There is no way of changing the difficulty in order to make the racing less of a beat down and somewhat enjoyable so you just have to put up with it.

The balancing of cars is so clearly biased towards four wheel drive cars and combined with the aforementioned AI there are only a handful of cars in the game that are worth buying because if you buy the one you wanted and upgrade it, the AI will just bash you out of the way with some ridiculous all wheel drive car that has a lower performance figure than you yet somehow has better handling, acceleration, top speed, and braking.

This is posted following the major patch which was supposed to fix most of these problems and that in itself was a mess with the servers still being only somewhat operational 12 hours after the initial maintenance window of "a few hours".

On the plus side the exploration is fun but short lived. Once you've done all the free roam things you're forced back into miserable races against AI as the servers are too unstable or empty that I've yet to experience a single multiplayer race in almost a month.

In summary, it's an unbalanced mess where the core experience is frustrating. The devs only seem to double down on their decisions or just ignore any criticism so don't expect that to change any time soon. Maybe give it a try in a few months but stay clear for now.
