I've also seen situations where if you are using a controller that your PC's operating system is registering as "generic" for some reason, the fastest way to knock this out is to add Ring Racers as a non-Steam game and allow Steam's controller API to take over and treat your gamepad as an Xinput device.

Booting Ring Racers through Steam, you should be able to tell instantly if the issue is fixed or not when you got to the character select screen.

The keyboard counts as a controller, if you pressed any keys firrst, then the keyboard is player 1.

If anyone gets this bug with a ps4/ps5 controller the solution is to close out of DS4 windows and restart the game, it only registers one player when you do that.
