Pocket Circuit Fighter's name and costume are most likely references to Mini 4WD Fighter, a promotional character for Tamiya's "Mini 4WD" series.

Fighter's vehicle in Dragon Kart, the Rising Dragon, bears a strong resemblance to the iconic AE86-generation Toyota Corolla from the same anime/manga series, which Takumi uses to deliver tofu and race around Mount Akina.
