No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Don't let the tiny cars fool you. There's a ridiculous amount of racing packed into this little game, from karts to Formula cars. Great variety, addictive championships and plenty of fun for motorsport fans.

Bought this for 50 cents. The game is actually pretty fun, despite being fairly simple. You get a lot of racing categories and tracks, and 10 teams which are also fully customisable (except liveries). You can play quick races or championships against AI. And the AI is actually also pretty decent for such a simple game. There's also online but it's basically dead, no servers.
