Since you wanted us to test the new netcode I decided to play this whole COTD with opponent cars activated. The match starts at the 2-minute mark. Please either enjoy or ignore the wild riolu noises in the background. I listened to his stream while I played and didn't think the recording would also record my mic as well. 😅
My personal impression:
63 opponents are too many to display at once. At least as long as they are so close to your own car. The large blob of cars really messes with your lines.
For the start it may be enough to only show the KO placed + the 1 place ahead of that + 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, etc.from the previous round. And then after each checkpoint just slowly fade in the other players.
I hope this helps.
