A racer for players who enjoy adapting mid-race and experimenting with equipment.

Strengths

- The combination of Grand Prix, Time Trials and split-screen play could accommodate different kinds of racing sessions.
Weaknesses

Play notes: The standard game does not include the separately sold Season Pass and collaboration DLC.
