I'm glad to hear my feedback was well received ♥
I think either realistic car controls would work or stopping the wheel from rotating all the way around would help too, though it might be difficult to implement properly.
I fully understand keeping buggy and unfinished element out of the game, I think it was a good choice with how well the rest of the game feels, having one element that doesn't fully work would stick out and might ruin the experience.
That's good to hear about the checkpoints then, I hope I will see the finished game when it's done.
