There's Burnout Paradise (2008) and The Crew (2014) as prior art [0,1]. And to a lesser extent GTA 1 (1997) and Crazy Taxi (1999).

I'd be more surprised if the team manages to fuck it up, given Nintendo development's solid litmus test of "what's fun and not."

A more detailed interview with the dev team seems to be available here: https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-1... and https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-1... and https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-1... and https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-1...

Regardless, verdict will be reached in a couple days!
