Like I said before 75% of the races only take place on roads so most of the stuff you mentioned doesn't come into play and on top of that you need driving skills to avoid major obstacles like trees and the like.  You can't just cut corners left and right because every course be it all roads or a mix of on road and off road has numerous check points you need to drive through.

So basically you're taking the skill based typical on road racing elements and combining them with the strategy and exhilaration of offroad racing, without any speed penalties or countdowns for actually you know, racing.

No wonder it scored so much better.

That's like having a platformer where you simply float over pits, to you know, actually just get on with platforming. If there are no consequences for going off the road, what's the point of having roads at all. Just for avoiding trees?

I guess it's simply a different school of thought. Some like to master the tracks, some just like to get to the next checkpoint whatever way is easiest. Would MK8 be better without penalizing you for going off the track?
