Advice for Online play? (Retro rewind)

I've been playing Mario Kart Wii Online for around two months (I started in January, gave up and came back now) and I wanted to start to play RetroRewind online. Do you have any advice to give me before I start?

Does anyone play CTWWs anymore?

Every time I try to look for a ctww it’s completely dead, it’s been like that for like a year plus. If anybody trying to play ctwws still lmk.

I always though the eggman mod was weird so I think I fixed it

I changed up his voice files a bit, gave him unique vehicles, and he also has a normal standard kart now

Any controller setups that let you play optimally without breaking your fingers?

The worst thing about Wii is how the trick button bring d-pad requires you to claw grip to consistently hit it, but that really hurts my hands after a while. Is there any way to remap buttons on vWii to allow you to hold the controller normally while playing? Or any third party controllers that solve this issue?

Retro Rewind 200cc players?

As a 200cc enjoyer, I'm quite sad that 99% of the time I check the playercount of 200cc, it's 0. Are there certain times or days that the rooms are more populated or is it a lost cause?

Trying to find the name of this one MKWii custom track

https://preview.redd.it/78e75q4git1h1.jpg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=deb887df74222d884e8dfd7d4ab1f88e6c7ee927

So I've been looking everywhere for this one custom track I played on CTGP a couple years ago and I remember really liking this track. I can't seem to remember the name of it for the life of me. Here are some of the details of the track that I remember:
The layout was very distinct, being in the shape of the coins you would see in Mario 64. One of the images below should show kind of what I'm talking about. I remember at each of the points of the stars there would be a half pipe as well (which is why there's arrows pointing to each of the points of the star.)
The aesthetic was very Toad's turnpike-esque (like the n64 version, not the 8/8DX version) with a really pretty pinkish orange skybox, but the general aesthetic was very liminal space like since it was just a road floating in the middle of the skybox.

Did people really play CTGP?

ive only played RR it was so easy and convenient to play this game from my childhood again, the more I watch old videos on CTGP the sorry to say but just bad it seems, i watched some of the custom tracks like mushroom peaks and If I ever had to play that I would just not even bother booting the game up 😭. also seems like the is some drama espically around the lounge

Ban for playing off-meta ??

I saw that in competitive Mario Kart Wii, if you don't play Funky Kong with the Flame Runner or Daisy with the Mach Bike, you can be ban. Is it true ?? I'm not much in the MKWII competitive communuty so I ask to be sure but if that's the case, it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Usually, we like to see people playing off-meta in esport.

How to obtain basic info on the current state of MK Wii?

Hi all. I have been watching YouTube videos of Mario Kart Wii gameplay recently and I want to get back into it, as it looks super fun (played around 2010-2012 or so when I was a kid). I don't know anything about how people are currently playing it though. I see that online play is still quite active, but is this done on the original Wii console? If so, is it done on custom servers? I imagine the official ones have been shut down. Given all these questions, where should I look for answers?

New Glitch?

Ok so I'll do my best to describe what happened. Anywhere between 5 to 7 years ago I was watching my sister play mkwii on grand prix. She was playing on peach towards the end of the sand section right before you reach the straightaway where there are item boxes moving from either side of you. There was a cataquack chasing her and just as she was about to be flipped she both crossed onto the paved/brick path and used her triple bananas. This caused the cataquack to "get stuck" to her car and proceed to stay there the rest of the race. It did not affect her driving but the cataquack was continuously rotating around its beak while sticking to the car. I did get a video of it at the time however the micro SD card is corrupted so I cannot get access to the files and I'm not sure if I even have it anymore. Please tell me this can be recreated or this is a known thing

Edit: I forgot to include that this was on original hardware no mods, and not through dolphin
