Losing money when getting busted is not a « fun » mechanic.
I found myself really stressed, « gambling » my RP and see if I want to do one last race, or one last heat level before calling it a day. Honestly, it is exciting, wonderful job you did on that concept.
The only flaw that I see is the fact that if you do get busted, you lose a tremendous amount of money. I would have expected a money lost caused by being busted, but not that much, it is a little bit intense.
To go around this quite unpleasing mechanic (after losing pretty much 60 000$), i just spent all my money, had my BANK at zero, and then went for night racing for straight 6 hours... not because I wanted to only race at night.. simply because that way i wouldnt lose money.
This « money losing mechanic », since it is a bit intense on the actual amounts lost, leads player to go around it and play night for so long, and then play day to gain a lot of money, spend it all, then go back to night. Basically, it makes the progress of gaining money and RP sinultaneously not so pleasing.
I find that loosing pretty much the majority of your RP of the night is already a pretty costy price, and I would imagine a smaller BANK reduction would be better. A flat price per heat level when busted could be good. Maybe later in the game, you gain so much money that it doesnt matter that much, but for the first 5 hours of gameplay, it makes it not the good stress, it makes it plain discouraging.
