Plot
Neco creates a robot called Pistatrix to repair the mini-racing track for his friends, but Braço Duro accidentally ends up damaging the robot that after absorbing Gabi's painting, JJ's computer and a book Senninha was reading, creates a super new track with scenarios based on the objects that Pistatrix absorbed. With that Senninha, Gabi, J.J. and Braço decide to venture through the new track competing to see who will be the winner.

Why it Rocks

 * 1) This can be considered the first animated series for TV with full episodes of Senninha, since the character's creation in the 90's the character for the comic books he has been known to star in few animations, usually short films or short series for commercial breaks on educational channels.
 * 2) The series maintains the classic and iconic art style from the Senninha comics just like every other animation based on the character.
 * 3) The animation quality (even though it's not as great as the 90s and 2000s animations) is surprisingly very good to the standards of a Brazilian animation series made in the 2010s, making a good mix of 2D animation with CGI for the cars.
 * 4) It maintains the classic personalities of the characters such as Senninha being the great champion, Neco being a inventor and genius prodigy, Gabi being interested in making art, J.J. being interested in basketball, Becão with his tendencies to behave like a human, and Braço Duro being the main rival for Senninha.
 * 5) Although there was a change in the voice actors of the characters compared to previous animations from the 90s and 2000s, the new voice actors do an excellent dubbing job.
 * 6) The show has good morals teaching teamwork and how to help others.
 * 7) The episodes have continuity and are intertwined, in a way that you need to keep watching to know what will happen to the characters during their adventure trying to complete the race. Furthermore, each setting on the track derives a arc of episodes.
 * 8) The settings on the track are very creative with a land with dinosaurs, glacial area with penguins and and a dark land with vampires.
 * 9) J.J. has a greater prominence in this series (now being one of the main characters) compared to Senninha's comics and other animations where he usually has less spotlight than the other characters.
 * 10) Galvão Bueno, Globo's famous play-by-play announcer, voices the announcer of the vampire race in the episode 12.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Most of the comic book characters were absent from this series not even being mentioned in the show including characters like Tala Larga, Johnny, Marcha Lenta, Déia Coni, Téo, Gigi, Bicão, Pé de Breque, Bate Pino and Meu Herói.
 * 2) Although the animation quality is great, the series still has some animation errors which are very notorious.
 * 3) The show can be very childish sometimes, even by Senninha's standards, mainly because Braço Duro is less cheater and antagonistic and is portrayed more as a comic relief for the show and needing to be saved by Senninha and his friends constantly.

Trivia

 * 1) The show's title is probably a reference to Wacky Races (know as Corrida Maluca in Brazil).
