*While the other cars can be commonly seen as being racing cars (Drifter could get a pass for being a performance vehicle), why is Cici on the race track? She appears to be a regular road vehicle, albeit one that can perform stunts. But she still wouldn't logically be able to keep up with 2 F1s, a stock car, and a high-performance road vehicle.

* In Hi-Tech Overload, Drifter was singing in the woods while he was broken down. Big Chris used his new machine to locate Drifter, claiming he could hear music, which means the instrumental track for Drifter's song was diegetic sound. But how was it being played if Drifter, the only machine in the woods, had broken down?

* How old are the cars supposed to be? Roary and Cici clearly act like rebellious tweens/young teens, Drifter is undoubtably young due to being high-tech, Tin Top is likely older than the aforementioned 3 yet frequently has accidents and is scared of a lot of things, and Maxi is likely the oldest yet acts like a typical school bully.
