Let's wrap things up! (Sorry I'm behind schedule, by the way.) As ever, if I've miscounted anywhere or made any mistakes, feel free to let me know.

Starting out with our results for
Job #08, we actually have a tie between
tonygameman
and
Janx_uwu
with a total of 10 votes each. As such, we'll be putting both of their submissions up for voting as a tiebreaker - links to their submissions are
here and
here respectively. (I feel like just a randomiser would feel a bit unfair.)
For
Job #09, the
Tornado Racer just about edged out the win as Tails's vehicle! I'll update the Google Doc shortly after this is posted.
As for
Job #10, the winning submission was the
Ring Cup, which as a result is going to be our first cup's name.
And, lastly,
Job #11 saw a win from
Alex Kidd, which will be our next track theme. However, seeing all of your takes on how series like Super Monkey Ball should be handled, I'm somewhat inclined to agree. From here on out, it's probably best we decide on a cup's content before submitting tracks - I probably should have considered that myself, but thank you all so much for your input on this.

Moving onto some jobs!
Job #12: Submit a track from the Alex Kidd series!
Given this franchise got the most votes in Job #11, it's only reasonable that it acts as our next track. Whilst I'm planning to revamp how some tracks are done (see Discussion Round #04), this makes a lot of sense to be next up. We'll handle it similarly to how we handled Sonic's first stage. (Cassettes will come in the later jobs, don't panic!)
Discussion Round #03: How should items be handled this time around?
In the original
Sonic and SEGA All-Stars, as well as in
Transformed, items were original creations for the game that only in some rare cases took inspiration from different SEGA franchises (such as the boost being represented by one of Sonic's shoes.) However, in
Team Sonic Racing, they were typically represented by Wisps. A couple of interesting propositions have been mentioned here already - such as introducing a new character-specific item system as a replacement for All-Stars - and I was sort of wondering how you'd all prefer us handle these.
Discussion Round #04: How do you feel we should handle tracks going forward?
I'll admit, I probably should have asked this sooner. A few people mentioned that it'd be useful to have certain series come up later, and honestly, that's pretty fair. Would you prefer that we handle tracks on a cup-by-cup basis, or submit tracks seperately and then order them up later, or do you feel there's a better alternative way of handling this?

Yes, there's only really one job this time around, but I think it's important to get a handle on how we handle things going forward. Again, sorry I didn't get around to asking this earlier. As ever, keep yourselves safe, and have fun!
