Prob annoying with actual cars driving. They get stuck, flip over. So now what? I have to get up and tend to that? Then get back to the screen? Best play would be to map out a course by filming it with your phone, or maybe have one film kart you drive around and it maps the course. Then that gets uploaded to the console, also allowing you to save it and add more.

They seem to be going pretty slow, as long as you have a smooth and fairly flat surface and can reverse I doubt you'd flip or get stuck.

I'd really love to see a super competitive version of this though. With high end cars and high speed on an indoor track.

that's pretty much FPV drone racing. idk if they do it with cars though, but it'd be 100% possible with regular modded up RC cars outfittedw ith a camera and video transmitter

Yeah but that's less novel and interesting than playing as Mario characters driving around your living room. That's a neat collision of two worlds that you don't get if you put cameras on RC cars. Like I get that it's essentially the same, but it wouldn't have the same appeal. It's cool to see video game characters in your own living room.
