Gymkhana is kinda fun once you get used to alternate driving model. It was annoying for me at first because it was really hard to get the platinum, but after I have become proficient, I was able to get platinum at first try most of the time. I liked gymkhana more than Buggy and Land Rush races to be honest.
I wanted to puch someone in the face everytime when final event was unlocked and I was unable to do anything while menagers were masturbating over my victory.
