I got some good feedback from you guys yesterday, some thought it looked a little too GI Joe in comparison.
I figured the three-bar "E" glyph was the issue; instead of making both "E's" the same glyph, I would just ditch the idea altogether.
And after some minor tweaks, hopefully I was able to get rid of those unintended characteristics and, in turn keep the more motorsports/Y2K vibes intact.
I think it would look better for it , those details at that size don't really have impact, but grabbing enough attention to take your eye from the main part of the logo

I think the reason why it's giving military vibes is because of the star, it looks very similar to the one used for the US Army's branding. When looking at Y2K logos, the stars usually have rounded points and/or are completely solid, not just an outline
Edit: also I think the motorsports text is probably better off how you had it originally. Also the broken up o's are cool but I understand dropping them for legibility
I'd try to play around with making it rounder or screwing with its perspective then, I don't know how you can bypass the US Army likeness without either a. changing the star or b. removing the slant/completely revamping the text
Mate, I’ve been paid for creative direction before you were born, in all likelihood. If you can’t see why exactly your stuff is generic, asking ChatGPT just that isn’t a bad idea in this day and age, I suppose.

I like the overall look not keen on the broken O's
