Not a very exciting racing game to play today, but I can appreciate why the presentation made it a hit at the time. It's fast, it's colorful, and it helped popularize the behind the car camera angle that became the driving game standard. Also, there's a muffled voice sample and a bunch of licensed billboard ads.
