This was a lot of chaotic fun to play, would definitely like an opportunity to play this with a full lobby as I can imagine it being a complete mess, which feels like it would only add to the enjoyment of the racing and crashing around.
One comment I could make is that the cartoony movement and style feels at odds with the force at which you hit walls, also given how they look it could maybe feel better if there was some form of slight bounce.
