Even in the most recent build I had a gobbo who despite having 50 in every stat, was still not good enough to race in any beginner race. And they would only do 1 training session per day, making it impossible to earn any money, eventually bricking the save.
I had to restart it to start making progress, but some gobbo's will just never be good enough to race, and some will perform acts of physics defiance just to make you lose (a tiny ledge a gobbo couldn't get over in swimming, that everyone just rocketed over, despite me being significantly ahead initially).
This shows promise, but there are a lot of bugs and QOL improvements to make.
