Due to just one lap of the track being pretty long, it would make sense that the track itself would be really long if it was 3 laps which would make it far too frontrunner heavy. If this track had a few shortcuts or even alternate routes, I could see this working well honestly or even shortening it down to 2 laps would maybe work well.

N64 Rainbow Road will always be better with 3 laps.
The original N64 Rainbow Road had 3 laps which took VERY long to complete, but imo that's part of what made it fun
