This interestingly-titled anime is a 2-episode OVA that follows a Japanese driver participating in the world of rally racing. Unfortunately, the title is about the only notable thing about it; the confusing plot, unlikable characters and lack of an ending, combined with subpar technical aspects, make this a frustrating watch.
After an “in medias res”-type start, the first episode shifts to the real beginning, in which the main character, Gen, is walking around Paris rather haphazardly. The reason he’s there isn’t explained well, if at all. He gets followed in a car by another Japanese person, a young executive in a major Japanese company. The guy, Rokkoji, introduces himself, treats Gen to dinner, and asks Gen to sign a contract with him to drive for his company in the World Rally Champio…

Note: the following comes from a video review, links on my profile page.
The two-episode OVA randomly titled 'Goddamn' doesn't give away much in terms of what it might be about (while it does somewhat touch on religion, that isn't the point or genre, although that moment happens to be of sociological interest). It features scenes of nature in between semi-comedic interactions of a mechanical sort - the weather is also of import, although it doesn't really matter ultimately as the protagonist is almost immune to disasters despite their constant occurrence.
It has a similar atmosphere to Nasu despite being set on a different continent and being about car, as opposed to bicycle racing, although they are more than a decade apart. It also derives some of its comedy from characters' conversati…

I honestly don't know where to begin, but here it comes.
The story line for me is ok, but with tremendous flaws in terms of timing.
Cars:
Todoroki starts the Safari Recce on the Sierra RS (car that could be the 1986-1989 4x2 version or the 1990 4x4 version). Later he's seen in the Montecarlo Rally in a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, (1990, judging for the tiny badge on the right of the license plate in the back.)
Here's the first flaw for me: In the Safari Rally the Lancias are using the 1988 Livery, which means that is the Integrale version.
The Subaru Legacy debuted in the 1990 season, the Nissan 200SX was outrunned after 1989, and Toyota is using neither a Celica Supra or Celica Twincam Turbo, both of them replaced for the GT4 ST165 in 1989. (Both Peugeot 205 and Lancia Delta (which a…
