* When he ends up getting thrown out of Sheikh Ben Redic Fy Fazan's tent, Solan, {{Determinator}} that he is, goes to the local news station to submit Reodor's blueprints of [[CoolCar Il Tempo Gigante]]. This catches Ben Redic's attention, who got hold of a copy of the blueprints beforehand, and he drives up to the top of Flåklypa to finance Reodor's invention. Had it not been for Solan's tenacity, the old bicycle repairman would never have had the funds to build his masterpiece and enter the race with it.
* The sequence where the trio put together Felgen's prototype race car. [[TechnologyPorn It's quite a sight]].
* The climactic Grand Prix race. An old bicycle repairman, presumably well into his 50's or up, a bird and a hedgehog, backed by an oil sheikh, go on to win the one and only Grand Prix in their lives, and they're up against opponents who are much more experienced. Yep, doesn't get any better than this.
** The race as a whole is an engaging watch. Aside from the announcer commentating, a few [[ScareChord Scare Chords]] and a ThemeMusicPowerUp, the climax lacks dialogue and music. This serves to add more tension to the conflict between the protagonists and antagonists, and keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
** As a stop-motion film, the filmmakers manage to capture the high-speed intensity of a race through both frame-by-frame animation and live footage.
** When Il Tempo Gigante concludes its pitstop, it burns rubber so hard the asphalt is roasted and curls up. Even the announcer gushes about how the acceleration forces at play, "have not been seen since the Apollo 3 rocket. It must have been at least 3G, which is quite alot on a racetrack." It's around that point the protagonists' ThemeMusicPowerUp plays, which makes it stand out for being one of the very few tracks to play throughout the whole race.
** Rudolf Blodstrupmoen resorts to cheating by firing up a smoke screen when he sees Reodor catch up to him in the final lap. Reodor overcomes this because he had the foresight to [[CrazyPrepared install a radar system]] into his car. At this point the bicycle repairman's patience has worn thin, and he shifts his car into overdrive, picking up speed so fast the bar on the speedometer curls outwards and stepping on the accelerator pedal so hard it ''goes through the floor''. That'll teach Blodstrupmoen to never mess with his former mentor.
** The last leg of the race becomes a crowning moment for Ludvig, who manages to hold the superretrometric distributor together and power up Il Tempo Gigante back to form, overcoming his fears and securing the win for Reodor Felgen. Solan acknowledges Ludvig's courage, and by the end of the day lets him sleep on his favourite side of the bed.
