Ido says there's 9 reference in this strip. 5 has been discovered, 4 left.
I was about to say, DAMN, that's a mixed metaphor, putting Knight Rider, Wacky Races, Speed Racer, F-Zero, Initial D, and whatever driving game that "Crashed!" came from all into one pile...
Speed Racer (Bisko's helmet) Knight Rider (Ro's quote) F-Zero (Ro's helmet) Diddy Kong Racing (Ro's accessory) Wacky Races (Ro's laughing pose) Initial D (the whole second panel, really) Mario Kart (drifting sparks and smoke)
an aeon ago, there was a series called Bruno the kid, featuring Bruce Willis as the voice actor for a kid who was supposed to be an international spy. One episode, his mission was to capture a german-made clone of himself. There was a car chase and the clone, driving as fast as he could, was caught in an explosion but he ejected his seat, which had tiny motorized wheels. Still struggling to escape,the clone was quickly within the reach of the protagonist, which still had a complete car. The protagonist then *rammed* his car into the side of the still moving ejected seat. There were very loud clashes but the clone's seat was firmly set into the road. The clone smirked and snapped "you cannot push me off the road, Bruno der Kidd, I am seated in German automobile technology"
Looking at the pictures and comparing them I am assuming Bismarck there is driving a Mercedes-Benz 770 (W07), though it could be the later W150 version too.
I forgot to mention it and it's unlikely it would be referenced here, but the second panel reminds me of an unreleased arcade called Chicago 1929 Chase.
