History Animation / RimbaRacer

* TheTeam: After finding out that the Rimba Grand Prix is rigged, Tag forms a team with four allies. [[TheLeader Tag]] is a hot-headed newbie to the races, and constantly aims to win every race, but is kept safe and in check by his older mechanic and father-figure, [[TheLancer Miles]]. His fellow teammates are [[TheBigGuy Sonny]], whose large frame and larger car do a lot of the heavy lifting, [[TheSmartGuy Meelo]], the socially-awkward tech genius, and [[TheHeart Meika]], who is the most feminine and socially-active of the group. The team stays at five members until the later half of the first season, where [[spoiler:[[TheSixthRanger Tamira]] joins them to work against her former employer.]]

The English dub, up to episode 21 in Season 2, is available, along with the original Malaysian, on Website/YouTube. Creator/{{Netflix}} also has Season 1, comprised of the show's first 13 episodes, circa early 2019.

* WhamEpisode: Lap 8: "Versus". [[spoiler: The Ripper is totaled and Sonny is put in a coma.]]

** Season 2's Xeno, who is partially an {{Expy}} to both [=OoAa=] and Cuckoo (in being eccentric, even by RGP standards, being a loner among the racers, outside Pike and Vyxx for rather obvious reasons, for his choice of vehicle style, essentially a bubble on wheels like Cuckoo's, and for only speaking gibberish to the viewers ears like [=OoAa=] does), plays with this Trope. Like [=OoAa=] and Cuckcoo, he doesn't really develop beyond his basic introduction, and also like the aforementioned duo, he fulfills his role swimmingly in spite of that. But unlike Cuckcoo and [=OoAa=], we do get hints and pieces of his backstory, and get enough of a sense of Xeno over time to learn that he has an underscored but present sadistic side to him, just like Pike and Vyxx's more overt sadism. Xeno isn't quite the odd one out among his group as he initial appears.

* CerebusSyndrome: The first half of season 1 dealt with Tag acclimatising to the Rimba Grand Prix and sorting out his anxieties and other personal demons. The second half however is more about...

* FiveManBand: After finding out that the Rimba Grand Prix is rigged, Tag forms a team with four allies.

* FiveManBand: Tag and his allies once he figures out the races are rigged.
** TheLeader: Tag, unofficially and primarily via his natural charisma.
** TheLancer: Miles, along with part-timing the Smart Guy, Tag's wry and cynical old friend and mechanic.
** TheSmartGuy: Miles and Meelo. Miles is a more old-fashioned mechanic while Meelo is very high-tech.
** TheBigGuy: Sonny, big friendly bear.
** TheChick: Meika, sweet and bubbly as can be, off the track at least.[[spoiler: Considering she secretly works for the Ringmasters, however, it's unclear just how much of that is her public face, if any.]]
** TheSixthRanger: [[spoiler: Tamira, once she blows her cover.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When [[spoiler:contacted by a representative of TheConspiracy]] who is spouting rhetoric about changing the sport for the better, [[spoiler: Riq]] admits that racing is a pretty niche, high-risk, impractical sport that sponsors aren't really interested in. Pretty brutal considering the premise of the show.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Krom and Wrecks, who spend most of their time hanging out together and hold grudges, not to mention their behavior on the track. [[spoiler: Until Wrecks' HeelRealization in the season 1 finale, followed by his retirement season 2.]]
