* CounterpartComparison: Fans of the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' series might notice that Douglas "Duck" Dunaka is quite similar to Peter "Pops" Beagle from ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar''. He's a [[AlmightyJanitor wise mechanic]] who can seemingly [[MrFixit fix anything]], and he serves as a TeamDad to a group of skilled drivers--but he's ultimately revealed to have been [[RetiredBadass a skilled driver in his own right]] [[BadassGrandpa in his younger days]], and he happily comes out of retirement to join the team on the track when they lose a core member. Replace race cars with fighter planes, and they're basically the same character.

* NarmCharm: Yes, it's a sci-fi series about futuristic race car drivers, which doubles as a NASCAR advertisement. Yes, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds. But it's presented with enough heart and earnestness that it's actually pretty charming if you're in the right mindset.
