### Summary

The ported Creative Rocket Racing Vehicle behaves very different compared to the original Rocket Racing vehicle.

#### Bugs & Inconsistencies

- The vehicle can very easily glitch through geometry - which I assume is due to its lower update frequency (30 Hz) compared to its original one (60 Hz).  
This is particularly noticeable on the Rocket Racing Track and during high speeds.
- The current drifting doesn’t match the original’s drifting behavior. The friction appears to be reduced, resulting in extremely slippery drifting.
- Performing a magnet flip while drifting slows down the vehicle.

#### Missing Stuff

- Currently there is no way to make an Out-Of-Bounds Tube like there used to be
- The original Rocket Racing Checkpoint device is not available
- Having a better Vehicle API would be great, e.g. being able to access speed, boost, etc.
