It isn’t about the character you choose to use for the race. I’d be more concerned about the 50cc part. Although, now that you mention it, it seems like using bigger characters (Bowser, etc) made the car move slower.

Bigger characters had a lower top speed, but could maintain speed while turning better. They could also bump lighter characters and spin them out.

My recollection was big characters had a higher top speed, but slow acceleration. Small characters were the opposite. Medium characters didn't excel or suck at either.

That's roughly what is was for the SNES game. Probably N64 too but I don't recall.
