Racing is an amazing element in this game, love the first experience racing through NC.
However there are a couple things I would really like to see improved in this mechanic of the game.
Therefore I recorded my first race to show the obvious problems.
Watch the footage here:
Major problem, I consider a bug, that also ruins the experience:

Major problem, I consider a bug, that also ruins the experience:
- During the race (see recording) my position remained first. Suddenly for no reason I am 4th. I end up winning the race, but this really spoils the experience.
- The race starts into traffic which is dumb enough to drive into the race. 2077 really has self driving cars and AI sorted out. Dystopian? No, Comedian.
- Shooting (at least in the first race) has no role, threat or reason in the race. I expected more after all that smack talk before the race.
- I win super easily, there is no challenge. Besides the obvious opponents jump in front of me bug, there was no challenge into this race. I even hit the curb a couple times, and I still win by a margin.
- Give weapons a reason. I played "Streets of Sim City" and that racing + combat mechanic was better than in this game.
- Add actual random elements to the race. Large trucks enter a crossing, explosions, police, whatever to make the race interesting and challenging.
- What are the other racers up to? What is their background? Are there teams? Some more spice on this part could make a great extension to the game.
