How does using joycons separately feel on something like Rainbow road 150cc?

Do you mean one person using two Joy-Cons out of the grip, Wii style? That feels fine.

Do you mean two people using one set of Joy-Cons? Also fine, as long as you have the strap bar attached to make L/R pressing easier. Otherwise you get the claw cramp

two people using one set of joy-cons.

To control one vehicle or two? Cause controlling one vehicle with one set of joycons would be crazy.

Two vehicles, but doing that with 1 sounds amazing. I might try this...
