My son is looking for an anime. He says its main character is a little red-
haired girl who pilots a racing pod. The pod has two large guns on each side.
She uses this pod in a race of some kind. The organizer of the race fools the
girl into thinking there is a prize but there isn't one. He also thinks the
girls has something that looks like 2 band-aides on each side of her mouth.

I know this seems vague, but any help is much appreciated.

Anime with a little red haired character who pilots a racing pod


I would wager that he's looking for [_Ōban Star-
Racers_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Cban_Star-Racers). It's a series,
but was based on a short movie called _Molly Star Racer_.

The basic story starts as:

> In the year 2082, Earth has been invited to compete in the Great Race of
> Ōban, an intergalactic race whose winner can be granted any wish in the
> world — even bringing back a loved one.
>
> \-- Wikipedia

Additionally, the marks on the main character's face (a female) resemble band-
aids (though one's a star):
