I was really excited for this game, but having played it for a week now, it's simply a massive disappointment.
Always online requirement means that you can't play any single player aspects, like licences or the menus, if your Internet goes down (or if server maintenance is ongoing, like it has been all day today. It won't even let you do any race against the AI)
Rewards for winning races and completing menus are pitiful. Roulette tickets only ever give the minimum credit prize. Clearly the game is trying to force you into paying for microtransactions, despite the fact the game already costs £70.
Do not buy this game
