The end of the seasons final episode setup the tournament. Anyones guess if the next season actually focuses fully on the driving. I'm not optimistic. Seeing how some of the other drivers are Mackie's character's friends, I would expect some story of teaming up against Calypso and other not-Twisted Metal's story happening. Also, continuing to have more on-foot violence like Sweet Tooth doing a lot of murdering on foot rather than in-vehicle.
