Despite widespread complaints about new technical elements such as super clipping, battery harvesting, and mushroom boosts, the author contends the racing itself proved compelling. The piece references the Montreal Grand Prix as one of the memorable events and points to an emerging rivalry between a teenager and three established champions.
