Plus it makes me think of the Transformers episode where they fix the plot by having a race.

They are going that hard on Drive having a car, yes! It's the most obvious thing Yonemura could latch onto from the show, and we all know how much Yonemura loves obviousness. (Like, the teamwork part of Drive goes right the hell out the window super early on in the story, and the mystery part is kept to sussing out Sangou's motivation largely off-screen) The villain gets a car, the Showa guys have cars, there's a Death Race 2000 action sequence... Yonemura just saw CAR and stopped looking.

I definitely paid less attention to this movie when everyone got to the quarry.
