Though using them I'd put down 250mm of compacted very lean mix say 12 to one as it will drain and not overtime form hollows where the wheel sit.

Google "grass mats" we use them at the stables, the horses can eventually punch through them due to point loading, but car tyres would be fine.

We used the plastic blocks, which were rectangular and locked together. I cant remember where they came from and search on google is not showing them up, but they are still holding up well nearly 20 years on. Not sure where they came from but found them in a landscaping directory. Ground preparation is key, proper sub base and compacted sand before installing the grids and back filling with soil before seeding.

I've got plastic grids under my shed, seem to work well enough

You still need a good free draining under base to stop soil that's wet being squeezed up through the grids ,

Assuming you wont be driving on it, would be better to dig some french drains with gravel to give good drainage all over..,? Plan to do that with my garden as its always a bog in winter

Their ones probably are. But the idea is well-respected in civil engineering. As above, look for more professional suppliers.
You will likely need a geotextile membrane under them. This helps greatly to spread the load and prevent intermixing.

They are good, but it gets expensive to do a large area, Mrs Robo has some in front of the field gate where the horse waits to come in.Mudcontrol mats are what the horsey set use.

We have installalled a lot of the Nidagrass system, its sucess is more to do with the sub base and drainage, we put a lot of it in a field that was being used as an overflow carpark. Properly installed this gear is ok with trucks running across it, not so sure the flimsy cheap gear would be much use in the long term.

I would think that most the poor reviews come from poor or incorrect installation.
White geotextile, atleast 100mm of type 3 and a leveling layer of 6mm grit, would be absolute minimum for a lasting installation.
