Yes, I agree.  Shrinking the kart (or enlarging the characters) makes
the character more visible from behind - that would greatly help the
player to see which kart is which person - and also increase the interest
in the look of the things from behind.

Generally employing cartooning conventions (certainly huge exhausts) will
also help.

Yes.
