Like the original Race, the title is officially licensed by the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC).

IGN stated that the game was "not as likely to win over a casual racer, because little was done to cultivate new hardcore sim racing fans here".

STCC – The Game is an expansion pack that features the 2008 Swedish Touring Car Championship season and its support series, the Camaro Cup.

IT Reviews commented that "Race On is a good value for money package, with a colossal number of cars and tracks on offer if you've not got the original game", but also added that for those who already own Race 07, all the players get is "new muscle cars to play around with, and the Swedish championship", which makes it a "slightly less compelling purchase for them".

[6] PC Gamer magazine in the UK agreed broadly with this: "It's not bad value if you're new to Race 07, but is perhaps a raw deal for those who own the base game".
