* NarmCharm: Yeah, it's about a bunch of guys who take driving way too seriously, but a lot of people love the characters, premise, and racing scenes nonetheless.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many characters can feel under-utilized, given the large number of racers who have fascinating AllThereInTheManual backstories and/or interesting introductions but don't do anything in the movie (only twelve of the thirty-five get any dialogue and several drivers don't even get to be background characters in the crowd scenes). Realistically, the movie couldn't heavily feature too many characters, but it's still disappointing about how many of them get the short end of the stick.
** Skeet and Esme could have been shown developing their skills throughout the race legs after being latecomers like Mark, but they barely have any screen time after the first leg they compete in and don't get much CharacterDevelopment.
** Dan Dresden's performance in the last leg makes itnonetheless.seem like he might be a good EleventhHourRanger during the main cast's final fight with the Racing Drones, but his car is knocked on its back within seconds. He lampshades this by saying "short race".
** The interactive garage describes Alec and Vert as having a FriendlyRivalry, but they don't show any rivalry onscreen and Alec doesn't affect the plot much.
** Wave Rippers Felix Sharkey and Fluke are extras who don't do a single thing of note in the whole movie, even though both are experienced racers who could have been shown struggling with the idea of having the untested Vert as their team leader and/or being {{Hypercompetent Sidekick}}s.
** Vesuvius has an AllThereInTheManual backstory where cheating is his BerserkButton, but he never interacts with TheMole who is sabotaging everyone.
** In the comics released with the toy line, former motorcycle courier Toño and former stunt driver Harrison Lau are also recruited by Gelorum to act as spies, but this isn't shown in the movie itself. Harrison just gets background scenes smiling like a NiceGuy. Toño gets one short scene where a problem with his car makes him miss the final leg (which feels doubly disappointing since his skillset would have been useful for navigating the maze during that race).
** Roadbeast drivers Jerry Boylan (who specializes in driving over felled trees), Cajun driver Pete Karris, and former stunt driver Yucatan could have had interesting scenes in the jungle race but aren't featured at all, with the film acting as though Banjee, Skeet, Esme, and silent background character Maximo are the only Roadbeast drivers in the race.
** Charlie Raffa's videogame profile describes him as a mechanic who makes sure the Dune Ratz cars can operate in the desert, but the film itself doesn't show this.
** Heralda (who is supposedly a bad team player who has the potential to cause conflict), Toni, and Mojave are all described as having unique desert driving styles, but aren't shown doing anything in the desert leg of the race.
** Street Breed driver San Jay Khan's AllThereInTheManual navigation skills aren't utilized when his team goes through the maze.
