I love this game so much I have a subscription just to recieve some better drivers. If you don't subscribe then you get some really lame drivers. In multi-player, there is a ton of people that have hacked the game so that they recieve top drivers, Karts, and gliders without paying anything at all. The game is a lot of fun but be warned, multi-player SUCKS!! 3/24/22 just got ripped off from a gold pipe, no star item given.
