In my opinion first stage has the best character designs, but when it comes to cars and racing action fourth stage would be the winner. The way the cars are leaning on the corners is something beautiful.

To me It's First Stage and then Thrid Stage is right below the First Stage. Because first stage has the most wacky character design that was done right and third stage is the most pleasing to look at.

Overall Third Stage had the best of everything. If you watch the animation features included with the Japanese release Special Box, you can see that they put an immense amount of work into everything, including CG heads for the characters inside the cars that are so well done that they look hand drawn.

In retrospect, and it's probably the nostalgia talking, First Stage has so much more character than any other broadcast series hands-down. But that's what you get with physical cels. For this reason, Third Stage looks the best. I think most people would agree. It's also such a comfy tone, visually.
