The thing is these extra modes are necessary because while Split/Second is undoubtedly spectacular and pretty, there's not a great deal of depth to be had from the Power Play mechanic. It becomes particularly chaotic in the sudden death mode, where the merest whiff of contact with a barrel turns your car inside out.

A well-timed H-bomb on the next series of I'm A Celebrity. Reality television is an even better fit.
Crufts, The Chelsea Flower Show and Prime Minister's Questions would all benefit from the addition of some Semtex. There aren't many live televised events that wouldn't be improved with the addition of high explosives.
