NOTE: this is more of an initial thoughts and feelings than a full review. As I have only played a few hours after spending lots of time playing with it as a kid.
Menu/Options:
Fantastic Main menu music. Charming car noises play when options are selected, feels like a lot of car went into the production.
Variety of accessibility options and settings to alter the experience you get, the ability to choose what type of physics simulation you would like to race under is cool choice , though I haven tried them all to find the differences in gameplay.
Gameplay: Fun, tracks are interesting and unique, they use the size of the RC cars to their advantage with lots of level changes, Jumps and intersecting paths and a variety of starter Cars to choose from with more to unlock(0 unlocked so far), though I haven't put too many hours into it yet. Enemy Racers are quite tough opponents and I am finding the game quite challenging so far.
Handling can be a bit unpredictable and I assume quite close to actual RC cars.
Power-Ups are a bit useless sometimes but I have yet to really get into the nitty-gritty of using them yet.

The best racing game of 1999
During my first ever LAN party we played this. It was also the first time I had a game shared with me. Suddenly, a whole new game, downloaded right through the LAN! How amazing is that? This game still holds up today, I hear. I loved being a miniature in such highly detailed environments. Wouldn't mind another LAN party with this, two decades later.
Extremely fun!
OH MY DAYS
Playing this game when you can barely read is a great and incredible experience. Loved driving around for hours doing the free race mode (did it have one or did a I imagine that.) Finding all the secret paths and trying to get there was a blast
