This made me nostalgic for the early Micro Machines games so thanks for that, and I love the nods to other games! I was impressed by the jumps and loops in the tracks (I played every one).
Would have been nice to have AI cars to race against and a more interesting camera that lets the car move away from a central focus. It's difficult to do rotation well at a low resolution like this, I wonder what it could look like at 128x128 - but that's a different jam ;-)
