- Difficulty of some tracks
- Arcade car physics
- Same sound for all cars

- When activating full-screen mode (alt+enter), the screen resolution is set to be different from those set in the game settings
- Night racing where you can’t see anything
- Camera reset if replay mode is turned on after a race
- Incorrect fine system
- The absence of a roof in the game mode from the cabin, which is why during the day the cabin is as bright as in a convertible

- An error window appears when launching the game from a shortcut on the desktop, if the player has not installed DirectX processing by default through the Steam client
- Crash when sending a bug report
- Inability to turn on headlights/windshield wipers independently

- A set of the same races/tracks for different championships
- No reflection in rear view mirrors when playing in first person
- A single race transcript for all types of championship, regardless of car power
- Fragile WRC1 class cars
- If electrical equipment is “destroyed” - the navigator stops observing the track
- If a player loses the rear bumper, a shadow from its presence will always hang in its place
- Imperfect return to track system

- In case of rewinding time back in repeat mode, the clouds of dust/smoke do not disappear, but rather are superimposed on the place of the rewound time
- Some environmental objects (grass, stones, fences) hang in the air without touching the ground
- Lack of cinematic camera angles in “repeat” mode
