Just saw it and boy, it is f*cking awesome! the animation, voices, everything made me like this show. can't wait for more! My only grip about it was that it had no close captions, since i'm hearing impaired. It really pisses me off trying to understand what they're saying.

BEEEEAAAARR!!!
I gotta admit. This anime ain't half bad, like a combination of Gundam and F-Zero. The characters are pretty well crafted, the animation is top notch, and they seem to focus more on character development then just nothing but the races. I think this show's gonna have a lot of promise.

So far, so good. Too early to judge how good this will be though.
There were 2 little things that I noticed and liked a lot.
1. They put old Toonami music into the episodes. In Ep. 1 before they were leaving to race Sledge Mama, They were playing the Toonami JLU theme. The second was one of Toonami's music during the second episode (Don't remember when Toonami used it though).
2. "Toonami Original Production" at the end with TOM...
Anyways, the animation is BEAUTIFUL. Absolutly Stunning. So far, the plot is good, but the races may drag on a bit unless they can somehow make it more exciting in the later parts of the series.
WTF was up with the talking cat?

I can't believe I missed it. Anyway, can anyone tell me what rating it was? TV-Y7?
The artwork looks kind of...barf to me, too much like Gundam SEED, flat and pale. I also don't like the idea of using digital graphics for the mecha...

the reason the cat can "talk" is that Amy(the girl) and the cat can telepathy talk each other. some psychic powers they have.
yea it rated TV-Y7.

I saw it, although I was very sleepy...
The animation was good, but I have to say, I'm not too interested in the story right now. The races seem a bit... part cliche, part dull. Sure, they're racing at speeds around 350 mph (IIRC), but there isn't much detail to the races.
Meh, I don't know. Guess it's a little too early to judge, but... >_>

No.
When Amy races, she combines her consciousness with her cyborg cat; creating a sort of tandem pilot. No telepathy, their minds are linked when they race.

I thought it was pretty cool. Great animation, cool characters, etc. It did take me a while to realize the cat was talking though. 
And I agree with Blue Pokemon Master about the races, they seemed a bit dull. But, I'm definately gonna watch more of it.

having mind linked is a form telepathy. it involve communication to each other by the mind.

Animation- good (as expected of a profilic Japanese studio on an American payroll)
Music- Generic and forgetable. May appeal to you, but I like something a little more contemporary like Kou Ohtani or Seikou Nagaoka.
Casting- Says Bang! Zoom, uses celebrity and cartoon voices in tandem. Nice. Haley Joel Osment as Takeshi, Michelle Rodriguez as Liz, Tom Kenny as Benjamin (the announcer who looks like a grown up version of Junichi [from the Raikou special] with Yoki's [Full Metal Alchemist] mustache).
The concept doesn't turn me on, since I've seen these kind of races before in games, Extreme G, Kinetica, F-Zero, Mario Kart...only with mecha, in 3 man teams. Add a dash of the International competition (children's anime/toy lines such as Bedaman, Yuugiou and Beyblade, series such as Daiundokai: Battle Athletess, Gundam and games like Street Fighter) and you have yourself what we should expect of US-funded anime: an ethnically diverse equal opportunity depiction of all characters, including countries that get screwed on anime distribution to boot.
Critical as I may be (mostly because I want to get in on the action, nothing about hate or anything. You know what jealousy is right?), I do hope that IGPX does open some doors for future US/Japan produced anime by would-be animators who can really use those resources (mostly webcomickers and Tokyopop "Rising Stars" entrants...as a last resort maybe Fred Perry or Adam Warren but only if we're really out of ideas, otherwise I'd discourage it). Who knows? Maybe my lifelong dream of TMS getting back into overseas animation will come true, or Toei can co-produce some major TMNT episodes...
I'll keep watching to see if it can amuse me.

Never got to see the second one, don't have cable. I watched te first one on the nintendo power dvd promotion. I'm sort of angry it left me off at a cliffhanger but I can guess that team satomi loses.
