CHARACTERS
Baraka

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Double Spark) 4/5
Baraka has one of the best specials in Motor Kombat. The double spark comes off pretty quick and follows the nearest opponent quite far (the longest of all characters).
Bo'Rai Cho

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Puke) 3/5
Bo'Rai Cho is ideal for those who want to stay in the lead. His puke is perfect for those who are creeping up on you. It can also take out multiple people.
Johnny Cage

Speed: 4/5
Handling: 4/5
Special: (Greengoo) 2/5
Cage moves slightly faster and handles better then the rest of the pack. To help balance this out, they gave him one of the worst specials in Motor Kombat: Greengoo. His projectile attack doesn't auto track like Baraka's or Sub-Zero's and its range is very limited. So, unless your nearest opponent in right in front of you, save it for close battles.
Cyrax

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Bomb) 3/5
Cyrax is one of the many average characters. Like Bo'Rai Cho and a few others, Cyrax's bomb attack is used to maintain leads. Make sure you look behind yourself often to make sure your bomb isn't a dud.
Jax

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Ground Pound) 3/5
While just an average racer, Jax's Ground Pound can take out multiple enemies around you. It's used for close battles and to stop people from crowding up around you. Its range isn't that great as it only reaches about 3 car lengths away from you. It can also be used to avoid some death traps and hazards as he jumps when the Ground Pound is performed.
Kitana

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Shield) 1/5
Kitana has the worst special in the game. While it does protect you from being attacked, it only lasts for a very short time.
Mileena

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Special Boost) 5/5
The exact opposite of Kitana, this evil clone has the best special in the game. The Special Boost will bring you back from dead last in no time, and it will keep you ahead of the pack and ensure your victory. The only downside to the Boost is the temporary decrease in speed after it's performed. Overall, Mileena is the best character in Motor Kombat.
Raiden

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 5/5
Special: (Lightning Shield) 2/5
Raiden has the best handling in the game by far. He glides around every track with great ease. His Lightning Shield is only useful when an opponent gets near you. So make sure you keep and eye out behind this Thunder God.
Scorpion

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Spear) 3/5
Another average character, Scorpion's Spear has its pros and cons. It can help you maintain your lead by spearing passers right back where they came from. But if you are coming from behind you can only nab those that are fairly close and your aim has to be precise or you'll miss them entirely.
Sub-Zero

Speed: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Special: (Ice Ball) 3/5
Just like Scorpion, Sub is all around average. While his Ice Ball will tack close opponents, it doesn't have the range of Baraka's. Like Scorpion's Spear attack, aiming is crucial for the Ice Ball. It can dertmine if your opponent will be turned into a sculptured ice masterpiece, or it can leave you out in the cold.
