Synopsis | This is a series about motor racing. Some of the races are on street circuits, in recognisable cities, e.g. Moscow, where there were never any street races to my knowledge. A young man, Takaya Todoroki, wants to become a famous driver and he built himself a car to participate in a race with a big prize. In this race, due to roughness and poor quality of building, Takaya has a serious accident in which he wrecked his car but he doesn't hurt himself. But a mysterious driver contact Takaya to enter onto the Katori racing team, a famous Formula 1 team. This mysterious man is Nick Ramuda (looks similar to Niki Lauda?).[source: Claudio Tosone] |
Review | It looks
like it was made some time ago, when cars with more than 4 wheels weren't
such a silly idea. I've seen a few episodes of this, including one where there is a Grand Prix race around the streets of Moscow (not a bad idea; they're plenty wide). If you are into motorsport you may find this intriguing.Characters ** |
