Hotshot Racing has a lot of the same art style looks as Horizon Chase Turbo; That's the main reason Hotshot took my attention. They may look similar but besides some race modes that's where the similarities end. The differences are subtle but there. Those differences make me lean more towards liking Horizon Chase Turbo more than Hotshot. Turbo is a more forgiving game imho Hotshot is aggressive and if you're forced off the track it's harder to get back in position without restarting the race. Those A.I. cars in Hotshot really don't take prisoners.
Whereas Turbo has fuel consumption that you only need to cast half an eye on; Hotshot has a 30 second ticking clock pretty much in your face and checkpoints to pressure you. Another mechanic(pun intended) that makes me lean towards Turbo again..
Not to mention the tempo of the music ratcheting up in Hotshot when the laps tick down; But I kind of like that.
Hotshot has some fun driver characters, replete with cartoonish stereotypical fun and cheesy one liners. They do add a lot to the game.
The cars in Hotshot feel very different based on their stats. That's both good and bad imho. I'd again lean back to Horizon's more subtle car handling and greater car modification system.
Glad I got to try the game but even more glad I own Turbo.
