I can definitely see the potential in this. However, I think y'all already know the issue with this being that there's basically no player interactivity other than pressing space. I think this game could be interesting if there was more terrain to interact with and more control over where the car goes (perhaps choosing the direction?). The racing direction is probably not the way you want to go though since this is singleplayer.
Also, minor nitpick, but it took a hot second to realize the controls: might be better to put that up front on the menu screen.
