This isn't even a racing game anymore. It's probably 60% luck, 39% how much money you want to spend, and 1% actual racing. You don't need much skill to be a high scorer- just spend lots and lots and lots of money to drain the pipes, and then grinding for hours on the same track until the exact set of events happens that gives you a high score. Developers keep adding more and more options and then making it to where you HAVE to use them to score well. They've sucked all the fun out of the game.
