It's not a bad game by any means, but it's a party game first and a racing game second.
The problem with Team Sonic Racing is that the average place of your entire team determines your score. To this end, you can piggy-back off of your team's slipstreams as basically the single most important mechanic. In order for slipstreams to be easily follow-able, each individual racer is slower and has less fancy moves compared to a more technical racer like Transformed.
tl;dr the game sacrifices capabilities of individual racers to make the team mechanic more reliably functional, so it isn't optimal if you're looking for a generally good racing game. It's good if you actually have a team of 3 people and you're all playing very casually.
