Simple, yet very well executed idea. Only a few short tracks are close to impossible to get first as it would help to have been in 1st / 3rd place previously to get the first turn .... but I cannot fault that for that's just how randomization works!
Approved by me as a quick "pick up for a few quick races" type of game.
Now I know why the AI zig-zags on straight paths. You have to as well if your car is not aligned, which it likely almost never will be! >w<
