Loveable characters, as expected from late 80's-early 90's anime shows, amazing music and great life lessons. Especially if you were ever a fan of F1 or motorsports in general you MUST see this!
P.S.: Read what Ayrton Senna said after the Monaco 1988 qualifying, when he was 1.5sec faster than Alain Prost in the same car and 2,7sec faster than Berger in third, and compare with "The Zone" presented in the anime. Also bear in mind that this anime was produced in 1991, when Senna was the "Emperor" of F1 (for me he still is). Trust me, you'll never forget it!

main cast
The story takes place around the year 2000 AD. Amongst the hoards of good old gasoline-powered automobiles, cyber wheels appear, equipped with non-polluting engines and advanced navigational systems called cyber systems. Cyber wheels provide a safe and comfortable automobile society for humans.
By now, all racing vehicles are furnished with highly sophisticated AI (artificial intelligence) computers, and are called Cyber Formula. A racing machine of this Cyber Formula type can at best be operated by a child who has never driven a car. As long as he follows the instructions given by the computer, it will take the child to his destination. If there is any danger, the computer will automatically avoid it, or change the car's scheduled course. Moreover, this safety feature only works in the context of ordinary navigation.

The equivalent British term is "Pit babe".
The official job of a race queen is to hold an umbrella over the driver while his car is being worked on.
They generally wear some sort of revealing costume (mini-dress, swimsuit, hot pants, or the like), as well as pantyhose and high heels or knee-high boots.
Campaign girls in other countries are generally looked down upon as the occupation is regarded as "low profile" or disgraceful. However, in Japan, race queens have a higher profile and are regarded as idols varying only by the motor sport event they appear in., sports visorA sports visor — also called a sun visor or visor cap — is a type of crownless hat consisting simply of a visor or brim with a strap encircling the head.

The visor portion of a sun visor may be either curved or flat and the strap is often equipped with an adjustable velcro fastener in back. The strap can function as a sweatband. This type of headgear was designed for use in outdoor sports (especially golf, tennis, and volleyball) where eye protection from direct sunlight is desirable, but is often used by non-athletes at beach and other sunny outdoor events., taremeTareme is a style of drawing eyes where they droop or sag, resulting in a weak, gentle look.
