Minifigures:
 
Racer X: Racer X comes with a black overall with a white 'X' on it and a black helmet which also has a white 'X' on the top and his helmet has a black visor which does open. The face reminds me of the Bruce Wayne face which we've seen in the LEGO® Batman theme. Racer X is a very awsome looking driver.
 
Taejo Togokhan: Taejo Togokhan comes with a white helmet which doesn't have a visor. His white overalls have some nice red markings on them which look like a dragon. On Togokhan's face you can see red and black hair, and he looks furious.
 
The cars:
 
The cars are awesome to build and great to play with. Both cars are as big as my hands and the red race car for Taejo Togokhan has a lot of stickers. Even if you don't like stickers, I think that these vehicles need them because they make cars cooler. Togokhan's car has 2 seats, so you can put in two minifigs in total. Racer X's yellow car has two seats as well and some nice headlights in the front. This vehicle doesn't have so many stickers, but it has a very nice appearance. On the back you can see a nice v6 engine. The windscreen pieces appeared in this set. If I had to pick up my favourite vehicle, I would choose the red vehicle from Taejo Togokhan. These're two awesome cars and I really like this set because you get 2 vehicles in one set.
 
Positive:
 
Great pieces which you can use for brickfilms or MOC's
Minifigs
Attractive cars

 
Negative:
 
This set has stickers
Stickers over assembly

 
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
