Our near-2 year old has got into Thomas and we bought him the accompanying sticker book before we saw the show. He is absolutely captivated. As an adult I find this the best of the Thomas Specials. Yes it's aimed at kids but adults will enjoy this as much.
One thing I find gives Thomas the extra edge over other kids TV programmes is the moral aspect to most episodes (as demonstrated in the current serieswith Thomas' speeches ton the audience at the end. The Great Race is no different. In the modern era where kids and adults alike are being pressured to conform to what is deemed the norm and given impossible aspirations, it's refreshing that the moral of this story is learning that you dont have to be like others and you can make a success out of being yourself.
