Hi, your latest version really is a big improvement, congrats great work!
The kart model looks really good now, I don't think it needs many more improvements, maybe a few minor details can be added but most of it can probably be done by texturing.
Now texturing and shading are my major complaints, the textures are missing a lot of details and the shading seems to be the same everywhere which makes it look too much like a toy.
Since you said you are missing ideas for texturing if you don't want to do it I could take care of it (but it willl take a bit until I have time for that). Or you try to gather some ideas with my help, only if yyou want of course.
Regarding shading I suggest to have some parts that are more like solid metal, some parts that are painted, a few imperfections will also help to give it more structure. Overall everything is a bit too shiny right now.
The animations are really good and creative overall imo.
I really like the jump animation, and the others are also really cute.
A few minor things:
You should switch the driving backwards animations, currently Suzanne looks the wrong way.
In the loosing animation the way the banana peels looks a bit strange.
Some animations look a bit robotic (still way better than most current kart animations but I think it can be improved a bit)
The coloring of the kart is really good as it is imo.
