After having the event for 2 weeks, I think the event has a whole lot of room for improvement. There were a few times that I have enjoyed the event, but there were also a lot of infuriating times that I have had with the event because of its issues.
The first, and probably most glaring issue, is the controls. The controls are what probably turned a lot of people off on the event because they just crashed into walls too much. I got used to the controls, but I still don't feel safe with the controls. I always feel like I'm about to crash into a wall. Pair this with a track that has many tight corners and you have drunk driving simulator. You can adjust the controls in the game options if you're on mobile, but I wish there was also an option on pc. I also didn't like how we had to spam the boost button to go faster. It got pretty distracting and it just boiled down to who can spam boost better instead of who can drive better. I would prefer boosts to just be tap and forget about them, or turn the power-ups into boost pads.
The track had a starting line that was way too close to a turn and should be placed back a bit to let players react to the turn better. I think there should be a novice, intermediate, advanced, and expert track to allow players to master the controls. When you start off the event, you race on the novice track. The novice track is very easy to drive on and lets players get a feel for the controls. At bronze tier, you unlock the intermediate track, which gives more points and tokens. At silver, you unlock the advanced track, which gives even more points and tokens. At gold, you unlock the expert track which is the most difficult track, but is the most rewarding.
