It's really stylish.
Driving has depth, but perhaps too much for me.
I struggled managing gears while moving, it got me crashed/suboptimal movement a bunch.
The tracks are extremely hard(or you haven't gotten to ordering them by difficulty). I played about 6 maps, 2 were meme ones where you optimize your line/gear shifting to get a better time, with one bend. the others were really tough. I feel like the casual mode of the controls shouldn't have gear management at all, if the tracks are going to be this constantly demanding.
Point of reference for my feedback:
I played trackmania stadium a lot, and got silver/gold on dozens of their challenge maps. I forgot the specific terms by now.
I played touge max 2 and ridge racer type 4 on manual, touge max requires a lot more micromanagement but with RR I could get away with downshifting only for 2-3 bends per map. roughly.
Exiting drifts can be tricky in many games, I don't think I quite got it here. slowing down/driving forward works, but it's not always applicable.
I think I'd enjoy wider roads and longer tracks as lower difficulty maps.
Also, if I missed mechanics it's because I booted the game with MKB, it was unplayable, then later when I retried with a controller the tutorial disappeared.
