I honestly don't know where to begin, but here it comes.

The story line for me is ok, but with tremendous flaws in terms of timing.
Cars:

Todoroki starts the Safari Recce on the Sierra RS (car that could be the 1986-1989 4x2 version or the 1990 4x4 version). Later he's seen in the Montecarlo Rally in a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, (1990, judging for the tiny badge on the right of the license plate in the back.)

Here's the first flaw for me: In the Safari Rally the Lancias are using the 1988 Livery, which means that is the Integrale version.

The Subaru Legacy debuted in the ... 1990 season, the Nissan 200SX was outrunned after 1989, and Toyota is using neither a Celica Supra or Celica Twincam Turbo, both of them replaced for the GT4 ST165 in 1989. (Both Peugeot 205 and Lancia Delta (which again is a weird thing to me. It really look like the 1983 Beta Montecarlo from the front, but looks like a 1986 Delta S4 in the back) are older than the others, so makes sense to use it as road cars because Group B cars were banned in late 86).

What's worst is this fact: They present the Safari Rally as is being in the 4th edition. A quick research will make you realize that the Safari was a WRC event since 1973, and the first home edition was 20 years prior.

If you're brave enough to put those flaws away, it seems to have an OK story behind.

The key story, the Safari Rally is weird. They use full liveried cars to recce, which is slighty incorrect. They are running at night!! It is not accurate. Other aspects of it is well, like the control point, the mobile repairing and the helicopter following the frontrunners.

Is hard to find an anime purely based in rally and when i heard of this i was happy. now i feel like i'm been discussing about the topic with an F1 fan. Multiple flaws, weird conclussions but the general idea is ok, i think. it is sad it lasted just 2 chapters and will not know what could have happened in the other WRC dates.
