It's a decent conclusion to the series. It's a bit disappointing that Tak's friends literally never race, and are still stuck working at the gas station, but it appears that the members of Project D get to move on to bigger and better things at least. Ryosuke's development over the series still feels odd to me, but the end result is fine I guess. Shinji worked well as the final opponent. He helped emphasize just how much Takumi has grown, both as a racer and a person, since first stage. I didn't find the race itself that interesting though. Much of the same as far techniques go, and Tak benefiting from what would've resulted in a loss for his previous opponents was kind of annoying. The focus seemed to be more on the growth of the drivers though rather than the race.
The art is the same as fifth stage; solid relative to the series but dated in comparison to its peers. Don't remember much of the soundtrack other than the song at the very end, which was just the fuller version of one of the openings.
It was fairly enjoyable overall. I wish the series would concluded around fourth stage instead lugging along like it did, but ending we received was serviceable.
