Description:

The bosses of rival car companies decide to fight each other in the sporting arena by backing different race car teams. Chairman Gapporin hires Okkanabichi the supreme racer, while Chairman Misaki hires Riki Kazama, a relatively untried driver for the flying car known as Machine Hiryu. Mixing elements of Speed Racer with Time Bokan, this Tatsunoko production ticks the same boxes, with Riki's cute girlfriend Nana, mini-mechanic Chuta, the cute ape and pooch, and the comic and glamorous villains lurking in the background. Early work from many big names, including Yoshitaka Amano and Kunio Okawara, is strictly in the studio mould. Manga versions of the story ran in several magazines, such as Terebi Magazine and Terebi Land. Racing fever seemed to have struck the Japanese animation business at this time: compare to the same year's Arrow Emblem. (Source: The Anime Encyclopedia)

Description:

In a world of racing and high-performance engines, Daisuke Mifune’s design of a 30,000 RPM engine still defies belief. After being refused an opportunity to construct a prototype of his dream-design, Mifune walks out of the company. Of course, this decision has a negative impact on his son, Go Mifune, and his dream of joining the company race team and becoming a professional racer. When a gang of motorcyclists attempt to steal Daisuke’s engine blueprints, Michi Shimura, Go’s girlfriend arrives to help save Daisuke’s designs. All is well and good, but now the big questions are: who is trying to steal the blueprints, and what will Daisuke do to protect his designs? Aya Mifune provides the solution when she and Go urge Daisuke to open his own business. With his ingenious designs, there should be no problem, right? Well, only if they can draw in consistent funds, but that’s not the only thing standing in the way. Mach GOGOGO flings ever more intent villains at the Mifune family, and the family must work together to ensure Daisuke’s designs are not stolen.
