The previously announced cast members include:
Anan Furuya as Haruka Asahina, an F4 driver with Komaki Motors who is a quiet high school student. He stubbornly remarks, "I don't need any support," and he earnestly moves forward to achieve his dream of standing on the podium. He lodges at the Komaki household and has a part-time job delivering newspapers.
Katsuyuki Konishi as Kōya Madoka, a freelance photographer who was once recognized as a valuable photojournalist, but due to a certain weakness as a professional, he is now in a slump. He gets an unexpected chance to report on a story, and he meets the F4 racer Haruka.
Kadokawa and TROYCA are credited with the original work. As previously announced, Ei Aoki (Fate/Zero, Aldnoah.Zero, Girls Bravo, Wandering Son) is directing the anime at TROYCA. Ayumi Sekine (IDOLiSH7 franchise, Technoroid Overmind) is overseeing the series scripts. Masako Matsumoto is adapting Takako Shimura's (Wandering Son, Aldnoah.Zero) original character designs for animation. Katsuhiko Takayama (series composition for Aldnoah.Zero, Two Car) is supervising the project.
