* [[HomeFieldAdvantage Home Field Advantage]]: In both ''Best Motoring'' and ''Best Motor TV'', Japanese vehicles routinely beat much more powerful European cars such as Ferraris and Porsches. There has been criticism of "glorifying" the Honda NSX and the Nissan Skyline GT-R. In later issues of ''Best Motoring'', and ''Best Motor TV'', the Nissan GT-R also gets this treatment. A partial explanation may be the Confucian-based trait of "saving face"--it would be humiliating for Japanese cars to be defeated on their turf. Expect to see more "shifto miss"es than you would expect from racing drivers.
* [[LargeHamAnnouncer Large Ham Announcer]]: Akira Kamiya, whose passionate, overexcited narration during races makes for hilarious moments. The other announcer (who replaced him in 2005) toned it down a little, but was still hammy.
* [[OhCrap Oh Crap!]]: Being a show that features racing, there are inevitably times where something goes wrong.
