I just started playing F1 Clash and after two weeks, I’m already extremely frustrated. The game feels heavily pay-to-win — upgrading a single driver can cost nearly a million coins, making it nearly impossible for free players to compete. For free-to-play players, progression is painfully slow, which makes the game feel more like a grind than fun.On top of that, matchmaking seems unfair. My team score is 516, yet I often lose to opponents with much lower scores, like 473. This imbalance makes races feel discouraging and reduces the enjoyment of playing.I love the concept of F1 Clash, but the combination of slow free progression, overly expensive upgrades, and inaccurate matchmaking makes the game frustrating. I hope the developers can address these issues to make the game fairer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Let me address some of the points you had raised for you :) The upgrade costs of Drivers and Components will depend on their rarity, unlock series and the level of the upgrade. Drivers and Components with higher rarities and Series unlocks, as well as upgrading assets to higher levels, will lead to more powerful assets, so may have higher upgrading costs. You may not be able to upgrade all your assets to higher level straight away - as you progress through the game, the more Coins you will win from higher Series wins! For matches, you can win against an opponent with a higher team score, just as you can lose against someone with a lower team score. Team score alone will not determine a win (otherwise there would be no point in racing!). Total team score will display your driver and component stats combined, but often is not indicative of true performance. For example, you could have a lower team score than an opponent, but if they have not tailored their loadout towards the circuit, they may have lesser performance in the race compared to yourself. The best way to tailor your loadout is towards the track stats for each series. It is also important to remember stats only make up a part of a race win, the strategy you take within the race including pit stop and tyre management is also key!
