TWOCAR is entirely uninterested in making racing look cool. Instead it lingers on the moment before a race starts, the specific way a rider positions her hands, the conversation that happens in the pit after everything is over. The anime knows that the actual competition is almost beside the point, what matters is the girl inside the helmet, and whether she trusts the person sitting behind her. You watch this show for the relationships, not the speed.

Yuri Miyata and Megumi Meguro are two high school girls who enter the world of competitive motorcycle sidecar racing on Miyake Island. The two are complete opposites and often clash, yet they complement each other well once a race begins. They face six other rival pairs from across Japan, and every one of those teams is built on contrasting traits of its own, such as an honor student paired with a working student, a sadist with a masochist, or a comic with a straight man. The result is a sports drama about a partnership put to the test on the track.
