Thanks for the feedback. You have some excellent suggestions.
The idea with the car is that it’s one of the worst performing cars in the game, with handling on the more realistic side rather than arcadey, inspired a little by Circuit Superstars. However I didn’t make this obvious and I might next add an even slower car, with easier handling as I start to add different events and such. I might also add brake lights and tyre smoke to give the player more feedback. I am also going to consider going more arcade with the handling.
Having the camera behind the car possibly reveals too much, however, with some car tweaking I might be able to include it as an option. The camera does need some work in general
