currently rewatching one of favs from growing up. it was around the same time we got all the French cartoons on Jetix/Disney in the mid-late 2000s. {Like totally spies, martin mystery, code lyoko, w.i.t.c.h.}
it has some dated jokes {see misogyny and one of those 'if I was 30 years younger' said to a 15 yo}. But it has a great story with genuine growth from the characters. And the art style is SO cool and there's a fair amount of alternative style in all the characters. like eva would be so cool to cosplay.
the races are all so dramatic with varying highs and lows, so it's not just 'yay, we won' over and over. and the show unfolds to reveal the past and current story without being weirdly paced. and does a good job of the skill/power crawl with the main duo and support working out challenges throughout the grand race.
if you can look past the video quality {480p} and need a new show, the entirety of the show is on youtube <3

this doesn't fit anywhere else, also the creator is a descendant of the guy who made THE effiel tower. And there might be a spin-off or sequel in the works?
