Nintendo's WiFi service way too restrictive

When you say "random racing", do you mean you don't get any choice as to what vehicle you command or what track you race on? Now, a random option is nice, but it should never be forced. They don't do that in normal multiplayer, what possible excuse could justify that sort of thing on online multiplayer that doesn't apply to standard multiplayer? Oh and, I am familiar with this as the system link mode of Double Dash did this.

You presumably can choose your character/car, but I don't know about tracks... maybe, maybe not? Maybe yes in some modes no in others? That's not the most important issue, though... think of Warcraft III, where the main online mode is the ladder which plays on random maps. (Custom, of course, doesn't, but no one else does anything like Blizz's Custom mode, PC or otherwise.)
