In my opinion light/medium racers are better for actual races because you need the higher acceleration stat considering how often items hit you. I don't know about anyone else but it just seems like you get hit so much more often that in other Mario Kart games.
Heavyweights are easily better for time trials, especially Funky Kong. Higher speed stat matters a lot and the lower accelration means nothing when you get a boost start and also shouldn't be getting hit by anything.
Bikes are better than Karts imo. Wheelies are probably the main reason. They just give you a speed boost, at the cost of only being able to get blue flames on a drift boost instead of the karts blue or red flames. Bikes I think are more vulerable to collisions than karts though, like if you're using a bike and a kart rams into you, you will take a bigger hit than if you were in a kart too. Wheelies also make you really vulnerable to being rammed.
I also prefer the drift of bikes. I now can't stand how any of the karts drift.
Also has anyone else noticed that it is harder to triple star rank 100cc than to triple star 150cc. Or is that just me?
