While there's no doubt that the reboot tries to be faithful and respectful, its major problem is that the show emphasizes more on the "wacky" than the "races."
Humor is fine and all, but the fact that this show is more humor than races can be a turn-off.
In fact, few episodes aren't even about racing, or even "competitions" at all.
While there are some good things, like Pandora Pitstop, the fact that it has less characters is another problem. Instead of diversely spreading focus, it's just the same one-note cast over and over again. It's no mystery than too many characters can be a bad thing, but the original show manages to fit 11 main characters and make it work.
In conclusion, a reboot that exaggerates one aspect and downplays the other aspect of the original show.
